    What could have been a really bad night.

    I ran my new cat last night for the second time and had a little issue. I had water intrusion from the brand new water jackets the speed controllers got wet glitched to full throttle about 50 feet from the bank. The pics kinda speak for themselves. A lil paint out the airbrush and some clear and it will be all good.

    That is terrible. Such a beautiful boat too. I guess there was no structural damage then?

              Its a good idea to pressure test any new boats water system before running. Catch the problems before running.

              By the way I sent you an email about the jackets. There can be a couple of reasons for water leaking. High pressure is one of them. If there is to much pressure they could balloon up. Or something as simple as a piece of dirt to lift the edge a bit.
