Default Atlanta Model Boaters pics and video

Me and Believe It met out at the AMB lake to cut some laps. Windy and cold. Still trying to dial in the Avenger so it wont blow off; Ive got alot of negative in the strut...Im going to add a little weight in the nose to fix it. Otherwise both boats ran pretty well.

Hey Webdr,

Killer video, you 2 have some really fast boats there. Do you and Beleive it ever match race? Could you tell us what kind of camera you used to take the photos? The detail in the photos is really sharp. Thanks,

Thanks, the camera is a Canon Rebel XTi with a 70-200 L series 2.8 lens. Match race? Im just now getting the avenger dialed in and today was the first day we "heads up" raced...its a fast mono for sure and corners well. Both are running mid 50s in race trim.

If i would have gave up the inside lane, i would never catch his cat unless he messed up somewhere. He has a good 2-3mph at least on me in the straights... being able to corner hard and tight is the only advantage i had over him in the rough waters today.

hey with the avenger run a gernsey flap on leading edge of tunnel about 10 mm back underneath an have a 5 to 10mm depth it will reduce the lift with out adding weight plus faster you go the more it will hold nose slightly down
