    Man, that water just looks so cool without any ripples or anything. . the boat looks so nice just sitting there. . .PICTURE PERFECT

        Haha, thanks. That was a good morning. Boat didn't run like I wanted but I got some cool pictures. I know nothing about photography but I got lucky that day. It was EARLY and super foggy. I even beat the fishermen out that day. I took those with my stupid cell phone. What's that saying? "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while".

                Made a new steering rod out of 1/8" stainless and MPB rod end. Man, this stainless is NOT fun to work with. I tried a cheap die but, it killed itself instantly. A good MAC tools die got the job done. I used a small metal brake to make the bend. I drilled out the stock rear swivel to 1/8" so we will see how that goes...

                    I've been super busy but, got in a little bit of work on the Pursuit. Finally got around to reinforcing the hatch with two layers of 9oz glass. No more paper thin stuff here!



                    Got the new steering rod dialed in with a new Hitec HS-7955TG digital servo. It's SOLID now.

                    Got her wet for the first time in a WHILE yesterday morning. Just some easy 4s passes but she was running sweet. Man, it felt good to get back out there!

                        Installed these hatch bolts from OSE today. These things are very nice. Well, after you strip off the purple...
