Looks like it will not be to long and you will be ready to run.

Thanks for the info I'll give it a try. I was just going by what the guy at Floral City Airboats told me, But on a full size hull I'm sure 72hrs is about right.

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

Nice running rig. It's must be rewarding to see it go so well on the first outing.

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.
