How did the new setup work for you Robert?

I was able to get 49.9 MPH, that is 3 more miles faster than my last time. I will try 445 prop if Doby has one. Maybe he will let me GPS my boat on this prop :confused2:
I will have to get him $100.00 bucks for it just like for all other favours :tt2:
We will run one more weekend if weather is ok and than going for few months winter sleep ... :crying:
Thanks for asking
Robert

Octura M445 cut just the way I showed you will get you where you want to be. Good luck!

great vid!! must be nice having a group o dudes to go to the lake with and run ALL the classes there are. Dang, whose really fast yellow mono is that?? Looks vaguely familiar... I am sooooo glad you ended up with that boat, she is really having a great life as she deserves.

Have you had to change the set up beyond strengthening the rudder bracket?

CC HV 180, CC BEC, new LiPos and small corrections of the tabs... all the rest is stock original from your pond... Love that boat. Will most likely have one more next summer 29 inch, :rockon2:

I do not need a costume, just my natural attributes will suffice...Too far and it will be frozen in a week

Yup! And the yellow UL-1 that jumped the red one!

Looky Loos are those people that come from Western Kanada and stand right beside you and ask how fast, what did it cost, where can I buy one, whilst you are running. I am not good at multitasking. Kids asking those questions whilst I am running I have a lot of time for, as that is what got me in the hobby

Standard answers;

Costs?=You can't afford it if you have to ask,
How Fast?=Between 0 and full speed.
Where can I buy it?=On the web, theres not that many places to look, its easy.

At our clubs formal race event in Sept. I got interviewed by RCTV for about 1/2 an hour.

At the end, they wanted to get some vid of my Rio 51 running, which they did,,,then near the end of the run, the host asks me to let him run the boat.....yeah ,,,,,right,,,,,here are the controls to my 55 Mph, 20lb Open mono (missle)......he didn't seem to happy when I told him no.

You knew what that twit at RCTV was looking for. I just destroyed a very expensive boat. Do not worry mate our insurance company will look after you, back to Tracy at the weather desk.
