        Hey Doby, Did'nt see you Rio in the vid. You still running it? Looks like you have your tunnel dialed pretty good with that new outdrive. Love the recovery boat but it does'nt look to stable..

                Well that explains it...must have blinked the first time I watched it The Rio is one of my favorite boats. I will try to make it down to the next race, hang for the day if I can get the time.

                I was looking through your fleet photos and I see that you are into scale boats as well, where did you get that barge (Robbe Lehmar) and is there a thread on it somewhere. It looks pretty cool and I would like to know more about it. What are the dimensions?

                        Yup, sometimes we screw up and actually make it around the course!

                          One was a UL-1 controller (in my tunnel) that actually died because the motor fried.

                          The other one was an Etti. running in a DF 26 with a UL-I motor.

                            Not sure other than if may be a Delta Force. I'll ask next time we get together.

                              Those fleet photos are way out of date.

                              Next race is the 18th,

                              BARGE,,,,BARGE,,,excuse me,,,,thats no BARGE How dare you inslut my Lehmar......

                              Its about 42" x 14",,,,,soon to be a twin 10XL powered boat. Its a cat with twin outdrives.
