When will it be here?

[Fluid]

Guys... Can we PLEASE give it a chance?? It'll get here... Sheesh!... you can't run them until next spring now anyhow...

Speak for yourself Darin, we run 365 days here. Heck, when I was in Alaska we ran 12 months a year, you cannot stop a dedicated FE boater.

Try using a better rationalization...like we're gonna have three months of sunspots that will interfere with 2.4 gig radios - yeah, that's it!

Yep, water never freezes in louisiana. Only thing is, I'm broke and just bought a car....

[Grimracer]

Mind if I jump in here and point out a few things…

The boat is still set to arrive at hobbico on or around mid December. Due to homeland security and what not that date can change. The boats however are in route.
The boat HAS flotation in both the hull and the forward cockpit.
The wings Float and are held on with radio box tape OR servo tape. OR.. For those of you that do not want verticals you can leave them off.
The transom drain plug is INCASE it leaks in the inner structure you can remove the water.
The boat was tested and designed as a heat race boat anything other then that your speed results may vary.
The boat is inspired by a mix of 2.5L (the real Superior Miss) and UL-1 hydroplanes. It is NOT a scale boat.
Tower is not the main distributor for the product
I purposely designed the cowl as ABS for a few reasons and the largest one is I like ABS.. past that point it leaves the door open for new and different designs regardless of MFG.
The paint work is SECOND TO NONE..
The glass work is SECOND TO NONE..
The motor is not am AMMO but it is made by the same company. It’s a new 6 pole (all ammos are 2) marine motor. It is an Aquacraft motor
The boat COMES with the decals in place. We did this for Joe boater.. if one does not like them use a heat gun (carfuly) to heat and remove.
The boat is offered all white for you guys that like to paint (like me)

Any other questions please ask on this forum.. Works better for me then E-mails

lol. I've found (at mazo) that in the afternoon we get sunlight bouncing off the water in turn 4...my faster boats are not yellow (radioactive green works for me w/ don't hit me pink underhulls )

[Jetbill]

Too bad for you! E-lam is in stock!

[Grimracer]

Man O man Mr Kunz.. Cutting into this thread with a hack post like that was tasteless...

BTY.. Welcome to Champaign....

Too, no matter how you polish it, the Elam is still a t*rd compared to the UL-1. IMO anyway.

That said, without a UL-1 on the shelves a lot of folks will be forced to buy an Elam for Christmas.......
