think back scott I paid u a check witch you didn't cash for many months and then u said u found it somewhere and cashed it

Same discussion weve had 20 times. I don't know why you receive emails from my personal email and not from the club email. Its the same contact for you in both. Check your spam folders. They never get kicked back so theyre going somewhere.

I honestly don't remember. You have to imagine how many people I talk to each time Im out and collections between splash fees, new members etc, so forgive me I cant remember. As I said, regardless, No one is paid for any amount of months in 2014, all members dues are due. Bill H, Jim S and Chris L are the only ones current at this time.

**tiqueman** · 12-21-2013, 05:27 PM

Im not trying to give you a hard time Ron, I just don't remember.

We'll see how it goes, we may not need to mess with it. I did some tweeking on it, I squared it with the hull and took some of the curve out of it. I think the main problem was it wasn't square with the hull by about 3/16" I also moved the rudder out away from the prop, with that dual pickup rudder it's real close to the prop the way it was. So much so that it would hit if I didn't shorten up the end point. Also moved it up to even with the top of the deck which in effect shortened it by about 3/8".

I am out for tomorrow.
Just got home.
Nothing ready yet.

See you all next time.

I DID fix the wiring problem(s).. as to why it's still so anemic, I have no clue.

I have the 'old' motor and will bring it.

That's kinda what I was thinking, all I saw there was a table full of RTRs

**sailr** · 12-23-2013, 01:51 PM

A bit off topic but look at these DANBURY RACERS. Jeeeez would they be a blast to drive!! There might be some at the Tavares Classic boat races in mid January.

Very cool! I had a 10' hydro with a Merc quicksilver 10hp when I was about 23 years old. Went to one race. Couldn't get the engine to lean out and never got her on plane. I dropped out on the second lap. Haha. Next thing I did was flip her and almost kill myself. Fixed her and sold it. Had a baby on the way! SOMEWHERE, I have pics.
