This was a completely useless post. Remember if you're not part of the sollution you are part of the problem. (if infact telling people to use the search function is to save memory on the server that does not belong to most people complaining of search abuse)
Now for something relevent: I balanced my boat with an 8" off the transom b/p and the boat was super stable and still aired out nicely.

Before I buy an RC item, I read through ALL posts on these boards, and use that knowledge to make an informed purchase, and I already have all that I need to know about upgrades. That also prevents me from re-asking a question that has been answered a dozen times. Try this. Subscribe to a dozen threads for about 6 months and count the times a person comes on and asks the same "What prop/battery/motor should I use, what upgrades are available, how fast can I go" etc. questions, and you will understand. Someone tells them that the question has been answered many times, and to search for an answer, and they usually get snotty and act like a spoiled brat having to do something themselves. Not always mind you, but a lot of the time. Some have even go so far as to say that they don't want to search, they jus want their answer so they can leave. Thes success of this forum is dependent on people reading,a nd staying, and sharing knowledge. Not just people ducking in to pick some information, then disappearing and not contributing. I understand Silent's (very nice, by the way) response to the original post, and I believe he gave the correct response. If you are on the boards any amount of time, then you already know the answer that will come when a question that has a zillion pages already is re-asked. like I said, sub to a bunch of threads, then sit back for a few months and watch what happens. You'll understand then.
