    oh the wood gives me wood!

    Thats a really really really tight and clean rig Andy, nice build.
    ah yes first pic you can see where the cone on the pipe changes shape.
    Sounds like you will have easy 70+mph oval boat..... 80mph SAW ??

    I have a modded wyk33 on the QD I have but was almost tempted to buy this - http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=305106331 as spare, it ends tonight..

      If only my tax refund had come back today I would buy that carb, I still want to run a push rod on throttle so will need to engineer something, I am sure it is doable though.

          Ozzie for that rash just cut open a lipo, squash it up with some shaft grease and apply 20 times daily, if this does not work try drinking radiator coolant 5 times daily whilst taking 50 panadaol 1 hourly. This is by NO means a medical opinion but I think that should get rid of it when you are dead

            very doable Andy, Once the carbon cyclone is ready to go the QD will be going back in and im going to either change the wyk33 throttle setup via adding a control arm to the carb, or, running the cable to a bellcrank and then running a pushrod to the bellcrank from the radio box.


            Ozzie, get the glass rod down ya.. haha

                    haha, shes a cold stormy here too,

                    QD is in a the box from my s254 evo giving it a good dose of Koreaaaa while its resting. Its going back into this:




                    Its getting a cleanup/paintjob, going to leave a lot of the bottom carrrrbon though and some of the cowl. My shed only has one light in the middle and its full of my toys (and crap) so its hard to get pics and get stuff in the picture without blocking all the light with my substantial self

                        oh yeah... tis a pity the whole boat didnt get to stay with a carbon finish.. it wasnt perfect when it came out of its mold, needs a bit more sanding, a few primes and paint.

                              The mounting for the skidfin on the U-37 Miss Peters & May failed entering the Roostertail turn, sending JW Myers hurtling towards the Unlimited pits. JW's…


                              Good bit of action also
