    Wow! I wish our water was that clear here... Is that salt water?

      that is a freshwater lake in Land O Lakes, FL where our club meets
      The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

            ok so I just ran the hydromite and I could not be more happy (save for I need an external antenna) I have no vid or performance data yet but my eyes say 25mph+-5mph
            even with out a turn fin it rides like there are rails in the pond.
            here are some pics I was able to take while driving, the first two pic are slow the bottom one is full throttle

                put on the hide Clyde!!! I like hand cutting it is cheep and plus gives you something to do on a rainy day, Keep up the good work. I am getting ready to finish my Nitro Hunter it will be my second scratch built boat, My sons Hydro mite will need painting as well as his rigger so he better get me some spot putty HINT HINT son, (Just a little thing we apparently have going on) We are trying to get three boats ready for pain at the same time, What a chore the building is the fun part.

                  Driving while photographing sounds like an impending crash to me I tried it now I take a buddy to run the camera! you can have more fun running your boat and plus it gives your buddy something to do. nice little boat!!!!

                            the boat was running great today, I added some lead weight in the bow to keep it down.
