I feel for you man. Stiff upper lip, chin up, & dive back in.
This may cheer you up a bit. I laughed my tits off the first time I saw this.
Funny song too.
See you in the new year sometime.
Paul.See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

You're gonna' be alright bud..
That hull is way patchable, and send all of the electronics back to the companies after calling them.
Put a "pretty please" note in the box you send them in, and you'll be suprised what comes back.Comment

now thats funny
i talked to the real chopper some years back,but thats a story for another time.
i think most of us get used to blowing a few bits up in FE,electrics dont like water very much at all and some times things just go bad.
what got me was this is the only time off i have had this year and been looking forward for months to run my boats.
its my own fault, i broke my own rules on keeping my boats reliable and not go chasing speed once again, so back to 45-50 mph boats and reliability

yes very true,if we are running at a decent speed we usally want to go just that bit faster and then a bit faster until we let the magic smoke out.

Mate my DF 33 is reliable at 60 mph and a thrill at 70 mph.Several boats in various stages of destructionComment

hehe Yes very true, i appreciate you design mine to be reliable 
Now you just gotta get your own sorted
I shoulda bought the rigger of you too and fixed it, that way as you progress in your boating obsession, you have like a museum to take a walk through in the future to see old designs, classics, things that worked, things that didnt etc

Yeah god its a horrible thing to look at!!
Especially now with that Neu motor and Etti sitting in it, just disgusting..
Id say out of the little mods i made to it, the one thats given most benifits, speed, look, stature, was removing that SPECTRUM sticker
