    Joe, thanks for the nice vid, and as always your hospitality. Thanks to Mark who tweaked the tabs, recommended positive 2-3 degrees on the strut to keep the bow up in the turns & applied his vast experience to my setup - this time youth and knowledge trumped old age and treachery

    Great vid....and nice shirt Tony! I'm just jealous because today I had to wear my winter coat!! That boat runs like a little dart on the water. Looks like it has some great turning potential too. Well done!

    Yeah, but you know what Tony? You couldnt have picked a nicer guy for advice. Mark's a character in his own right. Just imagine what he' going to be like at our age!

    The "little" pontoon boats are 16 feet long and the max length permitted by the local lakes here in Ca. They have 1-2 HP DC motors powered by 24 VDC worth of car batteries. Their max speed is LESS than 10% of that achieved by Tony in the Cyberstorm......................but they will carry 8 people and cases of booze, hence the name "Booze Cruisers" Most are made by Electrocraft or Duffy Boats in Ca.

    I need to move to CA...

    I think I want to do a Cyber Storm boat now. I need to ask Santa for the hull...

    Mmmmm 32" Cyber Storm, 28" Shovel and a big Cat. Santa is going to have to refill his bag after leaving my place.

    Very handy to have one as a retrieval boat, 'tho a little slow - instead of a speedometer they have a calendar (Just kidding, Joe !)

    Hey Joe and Tony,

    Did my invitation to this fun run get lost in the mail? Just kidding.....

    Tony,
    It looks like you are really getting that Cyberstorm dialed in now. A lot less wobble in the straights. Mark is a real magician with monos.
    After watching Mark's Cyberstorm do 83mph+ without a wobble, I think he should be called the King of Mono's!
    I think he now has the fastest FE mono's in the US!

    Brad, you know you're on the "A" list. It wasn't to be a "fun" run, we had a certain agenda but as always some boats got wet.

    That is pretty cool! My dad's company builds pontoon boats that will do just about anything. They make electric ones that have 2 48 volt modified trolling motors that are completely controlled by a joystick that they mount in a cup holder on the boat and steers like a zero turn lawnmower. They are great for boat retrieval!

    I really like all the DFs and think I am going to tear apart my old over powered villain and get one or at least a copy for sure after seeing how awesome they handle.
