    Hey everybody.
    I have a 36"Shockwave with two drivers,
    Paypal gave the guy till tomorrow to respond and than will see what happens.
    The big cat came in,
    Hears some pictures next to my 37"Daytona,
    Look like I have some bodywork ahead of me.
    I need to buy some Epoxys and fillers for my boats,
    And also my girl vase that the big cat fill on top of when it fill off the shelf,
    Big cat got a few cut I think, They could have be there all ready.
    But the vase, Did Not do so good,
    She going to kill me,
    It was a gift like 20 years ago,
    May be if I glue it back together she will never know.
    On with the show,

        Mac- I can settle for a Chinese motor! hehehe! or, you can sell whatever Jason sent ya!

        Jerry- Sad to hear about the window. You're still lucky man! My civic needs 4 new shock absorbers, complete set of rear suspension bushings, 1 engine support and 2 rear brake drums! Geeez! That's why I'm looking for a good deal on a gas boat motor. Now I can't afford to buy a new engine from Zenoah! Maybe Mac will sell me one for cheap! hehehe!

        Lenny- That vase needs a lot of magic to hide the cracks! That sucks! I remember breaking part of my mom's antique Chinese jar that was a gift to her by her aunt in China. Oh boy! I've never seen my mom so furious! hahaha!

          very good idea, but i don't think i will have any room in the garage

            I got a bit tired of searching the net for some boat drivers, so I decided to try scratch-building instead. I got a GI Joe head with a tank or helicopter (cant remember) helmet and decided to add bondo to shape into a more modern racing helmet. I cut a discarded GI Joe body to make it into a bust.

                Nice work and creative too,, it just poped in my head, cant you just get some rc airplane pilots and do alittle something to them, they would already be ready to mount youd just need to make them look like boat drivers.
                Sorry to see that vase Lenny hope you got home owner's insurance, maybe health insurance too cuz you wifes going to kill you!!!!
                Sorry to hear about the civic Taga,, Last night in the dark and in about 103 temps with high humidity with a flash light i installed the new power window regulator and broke the inner part of the door handle (crap), so this morrning i went and ran my Vhull""veryunhappy with it"" got home and took apart the door again and rigged the inner door handle so now thats good...PS boat ran like crap, tork role and not alot of speed!! O well im going to go paint something!!!

                  I've always wanted to do one but never really had a boat that required one before - well except for my custom electric cracker box and my recent 40" cig boat but I had already solutions for them while they were being made. With a bigger gas boat, something bigger and more detailed would be nice - hopefully appropriate as well. There are many airplane pilot busts being sold - cheap too at $3 - $5, but cant really find what I wanted unless you want your boat driven by airplane looking pilots.

                      PS this is what happens when you try to paint in temps in the 100's,, tryed to clean it up abit but no helping it,, think im going to just sand the sides and paint over the green with solid black or silver so i can be done with this.

                          jerry, what charger do u use when you are out boating to charge your batteries? i only have two sets of 2S lipos so i will need to be charging quite often i guess.
                          i have a single port onyx 235, i wish i had bought the 245 which charges at least 2 at a time. either i will use the car battery to power the charger or i'm thinking of getting a car battery charger from costco instead.
                          i have my sights set on the hitec 4x charger, costs a little but apparently it is an amazing charger.

                          what is everyone using?

                            I had a blast yesterday running my Laser 45 gasser w/ 26cc lightly mod and 6717/3 prop both done by our local guy Daddy-D. Chasing a 30cc microburst. Yeah! I can't imagine a 26cc chasing right behind a 30cc boat. hehehe! It must be the engine & It's more of a training run. Just following the racing line of one of our veteran gasser! I installed a motorcycle racing coil and ngk iridium spark plug! hehehe! Have you guys tried Viber on droid,iphone,blackberry? Joe Mata told me about it. It's cool! free calls and sms worldwide via voip.

                              Ed get a good charger like mardon is using. i forgot the brand and model but it's really hi-tech! i use a crappy venom charger but it will soon be replaced by 2 hyperion's.
