      Ahh. I left a message to tell him June's daughter arrived in Broke Back Hill last night. She is working at the hospital for a few weeks. I think there is a layer of rubber between Andy's driveway and the hospital now.

          There is no question about my tunnel. It is seriously fast. Last time out I had to back off to stop a blow over. Need to dial a little bit of negative in on the motor to keep that nose closer to the water. Andy posted the 40+ mph prop today and I get 4 rest days starting Wednesday morning to break 40 mph. Just a matter of time now Douggie.
          What about your tunnel and your new hydro? Any closer to getting on the water or have you been chasing that Aussie woman at the supermarket again?

            Tunnel on the way (2 weeks) ....hydro has been sitting on the bench, it is a red gelcoat and I have been pondering do I paint it or leave it alone. I think I will leave it alone, the tunnel will be painted..here is my old UL-1....just for Paddy and Chuck...it is now in the hands of a Patriot fan....the horror..the horror

              Well Douggie that is one nice looking UL-1. Great choice of colors. Go Packers. I guess the gelcoat on the hydro must have a good finish as I can see from your paint job on the UL-1 that you like things to shineeeee (and I mean that). I leave the painting of mine until there are too many cracks and they smell so bad of burned esc that I have to so I can get near them or even look at them
              After seeing those Packers colors on the UL-1 I see you need no advice

                Fark ! That looks like expensive tree stuff. Ply is what I use for the important bits but not for a whole sheet out of a hull. You must have some real coins in that one there mister Wayne.

                I am keen to see what power you are going to shove in it and see what it does.

                    You put me and "all black" (as in rugby types) in the same sentence again and we will have words my young Maple leaf man.
                    I can not stand Rugby and much worse the common notion that we may win the sodding World cup just becaues we are hosting it here next year.

                    1. Hosting it is going to cost me, a taxpayer, a lot !! Yes the RWC is a company that runs at a loss consistantly.
                    2. We have some very tardy grounds on which the competing teams will grope each other and have a lot of their kind of man fun. How some of it makes it to TV is quite beyond me.
                    3. The last time the AB's won was in 1987 and the Saffers were not there due to some political apartheid shiate.

                    Bottom line is the AB's have never won a RWC when the saffers are about and never will !!

                    Back to Douggies post now. If I managed to get 2" of hose it would only be at the end of the stroke just before my hand flies off and hits the toilet roll holder.

                      Mate obviously you do not have a KNOB at the end. Most men have one to stop the hand coming of

                        It all depends on rpm or wpm and then there is the lube, some spit on it and some use synthetic lube like shampoo etc.
                        There is a lot to the whole thing as I am sure you know and I think there need to further discussion on this.
                        In fact there may be a debate on this, a real big debate, like a mass-debate
                        fark I just had to use that one.

                            under 100Au for materials.. thats for 2 builds.. count them sponsons again ....lotsa hrs work..
                            I expect it to be costly when someone else builds them for me

                            neu1521 1577kv 6s40c5000 1457 and/or 1655 as spit+polished by andym.

                            previous build was 80mph.

                                Paddy the race was this past weekend and I had a blast! Running with the likes of Doug Smock, Naughtyboyz, Hotwater, and a few other FE guys. We showed the gasholes what FE is all about. We made history as P-mono was the first FE class ever run at a IMPBA event!
