move your cable to another USB port.
It should work.

Thanks Rick

I tried that and it was one of the first things I tried.

My camera has been giving me trouble for a while and I think it shot!

time for a new one ! [&:]

Thanks, firefox144, and Owner of XXX boatworks [8D]

Hey Raj , nice picture you picked, looks very fast !!!!

I thought you would have put your 84" Apache up there, but the bike is very nice.

Steve, does it look like you will have any problems getting the pipes exhausted out the transom?

Hi Raj

No, it looks like the exhaust system was made for the hull . the fit is mint.

I put the exhaust tips I got from you for the Sig on the MTI, the tune pipes are 1' away on front engine and 2" way on back engine.

I'm thinking of making the exhaust exit all 4 tips for a scale look. the tips are lost with the over hang on the MTI though!! [:@]

Boat looks great, I purchased the same fuel tank from Walmart, how did you plumb it to make sure it does not leak?

Looks great, 'bout time you stopped typing and started building.

Can't wait for my hull to arrive... I'm so stir crazy with nothing to work on.

All I can do is type but that's getting me in trouble now..
