Looks good Sean,

Do you have any idea what kinda speeds your getting? How does it turn at full throttle?

Later,
Mike

Mike so far it turns great, speeds are a guess right now, comparing to my other hydros, I wanna say mid 50s, I was afraid to test harder cause the rear skis are taped on, until I get her tuned!

Nice job ! It never fails to impress me how them spindly little boatie-thangs called riggers can blast through the chop ! Many of my actual boat-looking rigs wouldn't do as well in that stuff. Keep up the good work :Peace_Sign:

Thank you sir! you wanna know what surprises me?

the motor with a cooling jacket weighs more than the bare hull!!

As long as your using a GOOD double sided tape they will stay on. We have been taping the rears on 60+ mph nitro riggers for years. I wouldn't advise gluing them to the hull. Makes it MUCH easier if you need to do a repair. Another note about taping... If you need to remove them while they are taped on use some dental floss to separate the rear sponsons from the tub.

I am really glad you got this boat running. It was only collecting dust in my basement before you bought it. :rockon2:
