    Good to see you about Douggie. I was talking to Andy on the phone earlier and as he sobbed he said he hoped he had not upset you.
    Upset Douggie ?? How ? When ? Why ? What ? I did not think it possible !! He knows we all love the Canadian/ Scotish ?? Wombat. We all know Wombats eat's, root's and leaves and you can take that any way you want

      Andy, I love you the just the way you are, and the only I time I get REALLY upset is when someone stiffs me for cash they owe me or sells a piece of junk over the internet and that applies to all the web crooks.

      You are a loveable prick

            Yes Chuck, I had to rescue the rescue boat

            Some fine tuning has been done at home and the next painful episode should not be too far off

                Mate, I just loved the comment " StKilda to the rescue " the only problem is you will die of old age before they win the flag, sorry I mean before you pull off the rescue. Nice effort mate and I think you could get a job script writing for Days of our lives as that second vid is on about par with it. A novel idea though using a rigger as a rescue tug. I was hoping for 70mph traveling out to the stranded boat with a retrieval speed around 50 !!! What it needs is twin motors and rudders off the back of the sponsons.

                          Andy,
                          The St Kilda rescue boat was tested again this morning. As the video shows I have raised the noodle to just above the water when the boat is resting. Once it starts to move and the boats is planing the noodle is well above the water and the boat speeds off at 33.4 kph to rescue the upside down duck that the DF 33 cut in half. Mate I will be the one in my recliner on the beach this winter and not the dickhead out in the lake swimming after the shredded duck.

                            Paddy I can not stop laughing mate. That has to be the raciest rescue boat in history. I still can not work out how it will rescue St Kilda in the AFL this year though !!
                            When are we going to see it rescue something ???? I can see a nice prop cutting patern on the DF as it rips over the top

                              Playing with the DF 33 on 5s.






                              This boat is traveling much better now that Andy told me to offset the battery. A little slower than normal on 5s at 109 kph but I had 100 grams of added weight in to keep it on the water. I think 50 grams can come out as the boat is moving much better now thanks to Andy's suggestions. My driving is improving because the boat is much easier to control.

                                Looking great mate !! That torque roll looks all but gone. Very nice indeed and it sure is screaming!!
                                With the roll under control try strut angle adjustment and loose the weights. Will tell ya what I mean on the dog and bone me old china plate
