Default RE: Central NEW YORK boaters

Yah, that 20 hydro class was crazy! 7-8 boats running and some were slower because they were 20 mod tunnels, so you were always needing to pass people. I hit a bouy trying to get by a tunnel. And you can't slow down too much or you won't get on pipe again. I need to learn to drive in traffic better. [X(] After hitting the bouy, the rigger was real sluggish, something about the right sponson flopping around... [X(]

The 90 Seaducer ran good. I lost throttle control after finishing the first heat; the carb arm came loose. I was able to turn fast a few times and get the engine to stall. The second heat was good with the carb arm now fixed. But, on the last turn I dunked the boat. I need to play around with setup, or just slow down in rough turns. The 3rd heat was good, until my low battery failsafe kicked in on the transmitter, and shut the boat down. I think I might have a bad cell....
