Darin, You always do such great work on all your projects. The old girl looks really good. I saved off all the pictures you posted into my collection of boat pictures. Hopefully we can see some action videos of it soon. Call sometime and let's catch up. - Carl

Hull and cowling only? This is a first. Kenny Mudd owns the molds to that boat and plans to supply them to this hobby for yall. I will let him know that you have apparently found a deck in perfect shape and you just need a hull and cowling to go with it. I can only guess what he is going to say...

When you start receiving money that totals over $600 per year, that's where they will send you the 1099. I have way exceeded the $600 income this year but have all but stopped using it. At the end of this year I will unplug my account with them as many of my friends have already done. They can...

Mike builds a lot of good models.

Joey, If I remember right we talked about the steering requirements for your THOR 450. My suggestion is to run the Spektrum S9120BL for steering. The radio box is built-in so it can not be moved forward or backwards. Set your steering servo in the rear 3rd section of the box and bolt the...

Rev 2 ready for VooDoo. Brent, if you have any decals send them to me so we can put them on this boat. We are still very happy with your wire drives!

Looking forward to seeing how things stack up in VooDoo.

Mark, I did what I could to help your Mod VP class. I put 36 years into supplying O/B boats for Nitro. What you have said is very true. This past year was my last year as a Nitro O/B Supplier. I am now concentrating all my efforts into Gas Outboard Tunnels and the Sport Hydro Class. I hope the...

James, It was good to talk to you yesterday. I know you already know this but you are one luck guy. I will see you this fall. Take care and don't push yourself too hard.

The THOR 470
