    New Pickle Build!! "AMP-O-HOLIC"

    Here she is boys! Thanks to Shooter for the graphics and the use of his workshop! Had a few cold ones, but it still turned out pretty good. Can't wait to run this loose cannon.

    As you can see, I don't have a prop yet. Was considering the one that Propper Chopper is running. Tired of these mini-props that Shooter suggests.

    Great looking builds guys!!! You guys going to make it out to a club race with those things this year? The next club race is on July, 18th at the Ford Park in Shelby.

    They should be praticing at the same pond on Monday night starting at 6:00pm. I won't be there since I am going to be up in Canada racing this weekend.

    Later,
    Mike Ball

      This is probably a stupid question, but with the batteries located up front, will you have room to adjust the c.o.g.?

          Longball, Shooter and I will try to make it to one of the races but I am sure we will be out to practice, as that is what I need the most...lol

          Sundog, oh yea, plenty of room to play with battery location fore/aft.

          Thansk smock, its the Unlimited Turbine cowl same as shooters.

            We need to work on a "Martini" graphic for the cowl. We could put a battery in the Martini glass with the wire hanging out....similar to an olive with a toothpick!! That would fit the theme perfectly!

                Had the green one on the lake this weekend. Hit 48mph again! I guess it's not a fluke!

                  I am near sighted. Sooooooooo here is what I did while up north with shooter over the fourth.....

                  This is what happend when my boat slammed into shooters boat hoist at what I can only guess was 42-43 mph.

                  wish I had video of that one.

                  Even m 3yr old son did not wreck it when he drove it.....

                      Apparently OldnFat (AKA Mr. "Fabulous") has unsatisfactory depth perception.



                      .....and to think I swore and swore how this thing was indestructable.

                      His three year old son is actually quite good at driving this boat. It's truly amazing.

                          I sent an e-mail to Phil to reorder another one. This one is beyond repair.

                            Let's nail her up in the garage with the rest of the deceased. What is the next one going to be called? How about "Sea-ing Problems". ha!
