    P.S. It looks like cheddar cheese!
    Yo Cheesehead,
    What do you think of this sort of treatment all over the boat Chuck? Have to put some thought into this one. Maybe have to send it to Andy's paint man for a special job. Cheddar sounds good. He can paint some holes in the boat to give it that cheese look and then the famous G.
    Chuck I have to say how well Packed the boat was for shipping. I called the Packer and thanked him. Never miss a chance to say the word Packer Chuck.
    It is a 33" DF clone.

            He will only be upset because he does not have a Cheesehead boat like this

              Paddy I asked about your setup as I have this hull I got from Diego and have been collecting stuff for a while for it.

                Chuck I am sorry I did not answer. I just had a call from Lambeau Field so my attention was divided between your post and the Pro Shop.
                I am going to use most of the hardware from my NS 3 on the transom but I am going to use a stinger. I am thinking one of the 1521 motors and probably my YGE Navy 200 esc. I know the Hydra 240 has higher amps in theory but the YGE runs cooler on the same setup. I want 60+mph and be able to turn it at WOT in the space of my little lake. Not a big ask. I will water cool this one as I would like to do more than 8 seconds and then let it cool. In other words I want to run for at least 90 seconds. After talking with Andy last night I am thinking 4s2p. There is lots of space to PACK it all in

                  Paddy you and I are thinking along similar lines. This is some of the stuff I have collected and I think I will be able to pack it all in.

                    Yo Cheesehead,
                    Your boat will sure pack a punch with that setup.
                    We can compare notes as we build.

                            It does not matter Chuck, as long as the bag was well Packed there will be no problem. All jokes aside, is Nauti building a mono too? I see he lives in your state. Maybe it is not the boat. Maybe he is not a Cheesehead or he is surprised that you are. He should not be surprised. Andy will tell you that to make Cheese the cream has to rise to the top. That is why the Cheeseheads keep on rising and rising and rising. The other teams are just milk without the cream to make them strong

                              Andy as you know I have been slowly building a small solar power system to power some lights around the house. 70 watts of solar power charging a 12 volt car battery is where I am at. Even with all the rain we have been having I find I have excess power. I have started charging all my AA and AAA batteries with it as well. Yesterday I went flying and when I came home I charged the 1300 mAh 3s Lipo for my plane on the system. Now I have a solar power plane. Boats will be next but I want to get another 12 volt car battery in the system so I have power for the lights at night in reserve.

                                Paddy we have been talking about getting some FE events added to the gas/nitro (IMPBA) races in our our area. If we can pack at least 3 in a class we are in. Mike (Naughtyboyz) has a mono for the P class and Kent (Hotwater) said he would get a Rico ready to go as well. My boat will make 3 so we will have enough boats to run in D12 and hopefully get some FE races going.
