RE: Billing Boats THOR Partial Kit Build Thread
Boat goes back in the water, and I had a decent run. [8D] I also put about 1 ounce of lead strip on the aft deck, way aft, in attempt to keep the waterjets away from the waterline. You could see the waterjets operated a bit better at low speed, with less entrainment. I was actually kinda ready for this, since I did a "bathtub test" a few days ago. [8D]
The steering was behaving nicely. I don't think I'm gonna play around with throttle mixing - atleast yet. I ran the boat to full power in short amounts, and would bring the throttle down some, to let the motors or speed control cool a bit. I got a couple pics of the boat while at slow and medium speeds.
