IMBPA D12 Points Race #3, Queenstown, MD

[Chilli]

The Delmarva Model Boaters present District Points race #3 in Queenstown, Maryland on the weekend of June 11th. Queenstown is located on the Eastern Shore of MD just east of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The Delmarva Club did a great job getting all the district classes on their flyer. I'll be out there as well as Don Ferrette and Kent (Hotwater).

I know we have few new board members on the DELMARVA Peninsula and hope to see some of you guys come out and see how much fun we have racing. Of course our brothers in NAMBA D1 are always welcome to come down as well!!!

So much for my Seaducer

We'll it doesnt look like I'm going to have a P-mono this year. Jerry, after holding my boat for two weeks said that it was obvious that the deck that tore off my Seaducer (the first day the boat touched the water, running by itself) was no ones fault and that the boat was built properly. I told him I know sometimes it's an act of God and I understand they cannot reinforce the sides all the way to the tip of the bow, but there was no adhesive on the CF in the hull and that no amount of FG tape on the sides is going to hold the boat together if the nose isnt bonded properly. I also told them everyone that witnessed the stuff and saw the boat afterwords said it should not have happened. These are guys that attended SAWs with Jerry the previous weekend in NC. They did offer me a new boat very cheap but I told them if thats the best boat they can build, that I wasnt going to risk $750 worth of electrics. It was probably very stupid of me, but I told them to keep the boat and that I'd eat the loss and take my busniess elseware. I don't care at this point. I'm just disgusted.

Chilli,

Sorry to hear about your Seducer. Don't worry I would have had the same reaction and said the same things, if not worse. I'll definitely see you and Kent on Saturday and Sunday. Friday I'll be at the US Open.

If memory serves me Andym's seaducer did pretty much the same thing and he repaired it himself. It looked kinda like a christmas tree - red with a green nose. That's a bummer Mike as I just got my P-mono dialed in and it drives much better than the El Lobo. Now all I need is some buoy time.

Looking foward to meet you at Delmarva Pete!

Chuck, I do remember the Duck F%$er doing the same thing. I built the freaking boat twice and and I got a lap and a half out of it. Dick called me and offered a Aeromarine hull he has sitting in the trailer. I may do that or maybe build a new one. We'll see what happens. I'm glad you got the new hull running well. Hope you can make it to Centreville!!!

Dick offered me the hull as well but I had already gotten the PI Fountain 33. As a matter of fact AndyM asked my why I bought such a POS.

Thanks Dick, It will be great see you and Carol. Glad you will be there!

Mike, I am sorry to hear that there will be no fix to the Seaducer situation. I can't believe all of the time you put into TWO seaducer builds that you only got a very small amount of runtime out of it...that is just rediculous bro!!! I feel your frustration!! I hope Jerry feels ok about letting a good customer go like that.......and alot of people read these threads...........

Pete, it will be good to meet you... you will love being at the Delmarva race! Alot of good people there...

And Chuck, your mono looks good to me!! Let it rip!

Mike man I'm sorry about your Ducer. All of my monos (no matter who makes them) get the two part foam treatment. I put my 42 into the bank at over 80 mph (BAD, BAD hook) and was able to repair it for the RT.
Again sorry bud.

Don't sweat it guys. Sometimes you do the pin'n and sometimes your the pinata. I'm sure Jerry is happy to have one less PITA to deal with.

Irony: Putting two part foam in all your boats except for the Seaducer.

[moonlighter112]

IMOP it still should have not come apart it was only running at a slower speed what ahshame. I cannot belive JERRY did not replace the boat no questions asked.

[Chilli]

Rose answered all my emails. I wonder why Jerry can't take the time to do it himself. I told them I wasnt going any faster than normal heat racing speeds and that there were plenty of witnesses, many of whom were at SAWs with Jerry the previous week. Didn't seem to matter to them. Thats okay. I have no confidence in them or thier product. Time to move on.
