Had a guy at work make me some decals for the boat. Think it's pretty funny because almost everthing you buy now is made in China.

Well still waiting on Fed ex to bring me the frog spit, It has been shipped but nobody knows what happened to the package " Go Figure". But anyway we had alot of rain here and the backyard is flooded so I figured I would burn some fuel, Here is a short vid not the best in the world but just could not wait any longer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrEAPDAQ3Vw

Yes it is very rewarding. Still have to play with the thrust angle a bit bounces around alot at higher speeds, could be a weight issue also not sure just have to tweak on it till it's right.
