Can't wait til the fins/tabs show up, then she'll be ready for another run!



Still trying to figure out the best way to keep the batteries secure, probably velcro...

Little snap shot from the first test run.

Fins and tabs finally showed up! Excited to get them installed tonight, pics to follow!

[Ty@Tekin]

As promised, installed pics.





I left two bolts/nuts at work, just in case you noticed them missing haha. Video this weekend, finally get to see if the new hardware helps!

Here's a short video, lake still wavey and I couldn't keep it in the water. The trim tabs helped a lot, as did the turn fins. It carves pretty good on flat water, I'll try to get a video if the lake flattens out.

Ty, any new updates from what is on here?

[Make-a-Wake]

Hey Ty..........just saw the vid for the first time, somehow i missed it.......Looks great! Sounds good too, just get the bow down a tad, batts forward possibly. Great job again!

[Ty@Tekin]

I have it trimmed better than that video now and it's much quieter too. I'll get a better video of it on some flat water one of these days, with a better camera!

What a great boat Ty. Way to keep a classic alive.

Nice Job! Looks like a great lake to play on.

[Ty@Tekin]

I need to look into different or replacement drive hardware, the stock stuff won't hold up for very long at this rate!

Looks like you have a good recovery system chasing it in the water

[Ty@Tekin]

Yeah lol, my dogs freak when I take my boats out, she chases it but won't actually touch it, it's funny. I use the jet ski to recover them if (when) anything happens!
