    Awesome paint job shawn! I see that you didnt have much trouble matching the new turbine canopy to the hull. Great work!
    Try and see if you wanna add a black paint or black decal to the air intakes.

    Do show us a video if you're gonna run her - it should now be faster due to the new turbines! hahahaha!

      I was trying to think of how i could put little heaters in the tubes.It would look good on vid.hehehe
      Where do you mean with the black.
      And it may get faster yet,I thoght up a prop mod to do to the 645.And there is always 5s.Haven't done that since before the rebuild.Oh yeah,that was why the rebuild.

        Wow Shawn!!! That looks great! You should have my MG in about a week or so. I was thinking about running 5S also... I am a little scared to tell you the truth! If you run 5s try to get vid or gps. If you run5s are you going down in prop size? The only problem with having such a beautiful paintjob and canopy is that you don't want to push the limits of the boat in fearing that you may destroy it...

            Mac, I'm just wondering, why don't we modify the turbine exhaust pipe of the 37" cat? I'm thinking of using a thin stainless tube then I'll heat it up to give it the actual thermal discoloration. You can't make it more realistic than that!

              Isnt the reason we built the 37" Cat is to use actual mini turbines? hahahaha!

              Yeah, bettter get in touch with me on that as I just finished designing the hole for the turbine stacks.

                Hey Mac! Another development. I've been contacted by a rc gas boater from Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. He's coming over on the 10th of March and maybe will run with us. Talked with our club president and he said, maybe we can arrange a fun run with them. They also have some big races in Malaysia that are being attended by boaters from Brunei, Vietnam and Thailand. Edcel is interested in going if it will materialize. So, we better fast track our gassers and do a little mod? hehehe!

                    37" Cat Update!

                    Scribed the detail lines on the fiberglass and mock-up was painted in primer to easily show what else needs to be sanded down.
