Thats cool. I picked up a Spartan hull to play around with for P-Mono too. Surprisingly sturdy for a plastic boat

Isn't the Spartan around 36" or so? 34" is the limit for "legal" P.

34 is as big as a p boat can be.....if i remember right there was a spartin running over at the spring shoot out...in spec offshore...lol

[RCKong]

Guess it's time to start thinking about what to prep for the weekend but weather sure isn't looking too promising with the tropical storm (that's supposed to turn into a hurricane) coming our way.
If nothing else lets wish Dave a Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Dave.

Happy Birthday Dave

Thanks guys. Lucky me I got nailed for jury duty today. Hope I can convince them not to select me. Why would they need a cantankerous old fart like me?

[RayR]

Still hard to say what it will be like Sunday, Ron. Channel 13 weather is now calling for a "decent" weekend with weather going downhill for the beginning of the week. I'm going to prep a few boats just in case.

[HRC]

Thanks Ron & Chris.
Dave

Happy belated bday Dave.

I will not be attending Sunday. Too much going on w/ the possibility of the storm, so as of now Im imagining I will not be present.

[bill34207]

Looks like it's going to be a choppy day Sunday. http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/laun...=KSRQ&state=FL Dead boats will blow quickly into the trees and brush at the west end.
I'm willing to ride down and bring the rescue boat battery if there are a few definate will show's. I don't think we'll be doing any productive racing though. Might be better to call it a test n tune for the diehards and folks "jonesin" for a fix.

[RCKong]

Yea, I think I'm gonna stick around here this weekend. Looks like I will dig the generator out this weekend and get it running... I hope we won't need it.

[bill34207]

I checked the wind speed link again this morning. Looks to be starting off around 9 mph early (5:00 AM) and up to 20 mph by 11:00 AM. I've already labeled it as canceled for racing on the club website.

[osprey21]

Unless a couple of you hardcore types want to venture out, I'm pulling the plug as well.

[hebner]

Too windy for me.

[ron1950]

i was hopeing for a easy way to get my batteries to storage and to test a new boat but have to use the charger the hard way.....

[RayR]

I think I'll stay home and start planning out this new acquisition.

[ron1950]

[osprey21]
