Did you sink that bouy that jumped out in front of you as well

Pretty much!

I ordered some pond dye to try out on Stony Pond. I sprayed the algae yesterday afternoon as well, but did not get time to spray all of it.

I somehow knew you were up to something. Craig. My Vee was a bust last weekend. Were still shooting for a 123 Finnish this season. Of course we all want 1st I will do some Vee testing over here with my big boat. If that QD acts up I'll pull it quick and add the M&D engine. My gas rigger need some more testing and a change in setup. So the gas rigger is down until I do some work to the sponsons. Or move the driveline to the right. She just ain't safe the way it is. I won't drive it.

Stony Pond is open for testing all weekend, including Monday. Let me know when or if anyone wants to come down. I have a birthday party to go to on Saturday, in the early afternoon.

We have two new paid members, Jeff and Rob Kendall. Welcome aboard!

I don't have any boats ready for Tunnel Thursdays. Been so busy at work, but that is good.

I'm going to replace the boom tubes on my Zippkit .21 rigger and install a non-adjustable Z strut that Neil had given me a while back. While my brass strut works, its does flex a little which can't be good. I'll give the hull a good look over. I think I will run 4 boats for the next Brick Pond race. I ran 3 last weekend and that went smoothly.

Hi Guys,
Cindy has posted a couple of videos from Charleston on You Tube - take a look, if interested. They're of the F Hydros.
Cindy ran her 20 mono today in (3) heats, first one we couldn't get it started, although we had started it 5 minutes before with no problem. The 2nd and 3rd heats the boat took 3rd and 4th - but was a real dog. Am having trouble getting a needle setting here. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. The wind was out of control today, reminded us of some days at Craig's! - Nice to feel at home. The hurricane coming is threatening to bring heavy rains tomorrow and Tuesday. Will see. I'll be attempting to run the JAE 21 on Tuesday and Wednesday. We're getting alot of hints and learning alot down here. Looking forward to Elmira and hopefully trying out what we're learned.

I did get to run my gas Vee today. Same results 1/2 a lap and quit. I finally got a few good ones. She handled the rough water fine. I stall out when I come off a turn. I'm adding the M&D and pulling the QD my throttle linkage need to be cable?????? I will take her back out in the morning with a smaller prop. She's fast with QD but not dependable. The M&D will compete. I like my setup so far. I got a few good jumps in the lake had boater waves. I tried to get a open bay ,but way to many boaters today. I got my fishing pole out. I will get up early and test before the boater come out.

First two days of racing completed today - Cindy finished in the top (5) which qualified her to compete for US 1 in 20 Mono. We're both pleased, considering how bad the Mono had handled in the past. She's decided not to go for it, as the boat isn't up to the competition of the other qualifiers.
Tuesday and Wednesday I'll be attempting to compete with the 20 JAE. Hope I can do as well as her!
Have (1) video to post on You Tube from the F Mono race today - be sure to see the end of the race - cool finish!

Congrats! And thanks for sharing video!

I got the .21 Zippkit rigger running again today! Ran great until I smacked bouy 6 hard. All seems o.k. though.

Before running today, I did notice a slight twist in the tub. It must have happened during a hard hit last year, but it ran straight and true today.

I got to see the videos thanks Tom and good luck. This week.
I went to the lake and I got some very good runs in my gas Vee The hull is ready. One of my water outlets moved and was aimed right at the carb. Yup a blown ring or rod. I haven't looked yet. I did get the feel of the hull before the blown whatever. I better learn how a QD works
. I was ready to race ,now back to a rebuild. I'm peed The gas rigger will have to wait. I can run my .45 rigger in open rigger. She's ready to test. I still want to go back to the 3 rd channel. Someday.
