    Default Wildthing 32. Calling this one done.

    Pretty much done finally. It was a bit of a nightmare getting it converted to fe but pretty happy with the results. There is a clear lexan cover over the motor bay (pretty hard to see in the photo,s)

    When are you going to get it wet? Hoping to get out this weekend.
    If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

    Looks great Kendt. I can hardly wait to see it run but thes next couple of weeks are crazy busy for me. Let me know if you and Husky are gonna be out there Saturday morning. I might be able to swing by for a bit . . even if it just to watch you run. Back to back birthday celebrations on Saturday and Sunday means little or no time for the hobby.

    Just picked up my 42/55 prop and a bushing from Chris this afternoon. The prop will need to be sharpened and balanced and I don't know if I'll have time before the weekend. I'll let you know for sure about Saturday morning, but with the weekend schedule I would say the earlier the better.

    I can do earlier too. Not really a problem. Do either of you guys have a y connector I could try for running 2 packs parallel, If you dont I can still run but if you do I have more batteries to use.

    I can do 8:30 if you guys are up for it. The only "y" connectors I have are series. What connectors are you using? Mine are EC5's.

    The lexan is held in place by waterproof tape and one safety screw.

    8:30 it is then. I'll bring along the generator and charger. . . and maybe a 13 year old side kick.

    We'll be at lock 23, we usually run for a good length of time, 3-4 hours probably if boats don't break down!

    Good stuff. I managed to rig up a y connector so should have lots of good running. I'll bring both my chargers as well just in case. Glad to hear your bringing a sidekick. Like to see the youngúns showing an interest.

    Cool I'll load up the canoe tonight and get everything ready to run! And some pruning clippers for the shore!
    Cheers
