    Nice!

    Aired out and smooth on the water. That's why I love tunnels.

    Way to go!

            Yup... after watching him make pass after pass after pass at over 70... it was pretty clear!

            Can't wait to see what 80+ is going to look like!

            Why do I sense that there will be tunnels expoding all over the country trying to make that happen??

                Bill... OH, don't do that! Brian, myself, and a couple of others, have already been accused over the years of ruining the FE hobby... don't make us a target for the Nitro guys too! Their numbers are already dwindling.... and we don't need any more to be our fault!

                  Why should tunnels be different than all of the other classes?

                      Excuse me Mike.... I hate to be the one to tell you this but, look around, you're right in the middle of it. LOL

                      Lucky for you, Dick and that other super nice guy down in Fla. (B.B.) I am busy in other classes. Other wise, I'd be very tempted to show you boys how it's done.

                          Shoot man, My current records are soft. Dick's P record is pretty sweet, but the other stuff I have been doing is soft. Time to get serious tho. Now that things are heatin up, its time to get to the next level. The crowd has been asking for it, so its time to show um whats up! haha. What will it take to get there...New motors, New Boat Designs???? Its anyone's guess right now!

                            This boat just runs fantastic. I've built two other TS-3's over the last couple years and they all ran like this. One went back to Mike Z. the second got destroyed on a test/tune day (got in an argument with a gas boat and lost).

                            Setup on this boat was a CC 1512, Hydra Ice 240, 5000mah 40C GrimRacer Speed Packs (production samples), OS lower unit with the Hyperformance adapter kit.

                            Prop? It started as a GrimRacer prop.

                            Nothing ever came in over 120F (even on the 4 pass runs). There's a lot more in there.
