I'm seeing if there is any interest in a set of Bill Fritz style motor mounts. I had to make a set for my hull and when I did this I made a couple of extra sets. They can be used in other hulls that would require the mount to be mounted throught the bottom of the hull. They fit in between 5"...

I'm going to try and make a mold this winter for my 88 Miller High Life (Circus Circus). I have never done this and was wonder what material to use for the plug (foam,bass wood, balsa,etc.). Also is there any tricks to make it symetrical. I have seen some post on doing the layups but can't find...

I have O.S. 9B card I would like to run on my CMB Greenhead. What is a good setting on the low idle needle to get started? I had thre carb on once already and it didn't seem to run well. I would like to try it again this time with a base setting on that needle.

I'm thinking of changing my 68 Bardahl to Miss US. I'm getting tired of fixing checkers when I get into a scuffle. Or if some has the paint codes that would also be a big help. I don't plan on doing it right now, but the next time some repairs are needed I'm thinking of changing it. Thanks for...

I'm in the proccess for the second time redoing the bottom of my 68 Bardahl to try to improve the attitude of the boat. It will run fine wide open but when I have to slow to a mill speed and try to bringing it back up on plan... forget it. The sponsons have been stepped and are currently 1 1/4"...

Well...Josh Stollfuss met me at the Ford pond on Saturday. I had a great time, even though the boat didn't get full lap. Before I had gotten to the pond I had lowered the strut a little and put on a 1460 to see if it would be any different from last Thursday. It did help a little and the boat...

Well yesterday wasn't that great for my first time out. I didn't get to see my boat run. I had a heck of a time getting it to stay running and when it did run and went to launch it turned into a submarine. Thier was a bunch of issues that made the day not very enjoyable. Have to collect my...

First thing I would like to say is thanks to Joe Wieblhaus for all his patience and time he has spent helping me get this boat where it is. If it wasn't for Joe I don't know how this would have turned out. He is definitly a great asset to this hobby. Allot of phone calls and emails. This is my...

I have been rebuilding a scale 68 Bardahl all winter and at the stage now where I'm ready to start painting. All this is new to me, even painting. The problem I'm having is with the original paint. The clear coat comes off real easy. One area that is causing me the biggest problem is on the...

I need just one good picture of the 68 Bardahl (checker board). I have a couple from the side. I'm trying to register the boat and it requires a picture for referance on the paint scheme. I would assume it would be a shot of the top of the deck or a 3/4 shot. This is my first time registering a...

Any suggestions on a good battery charger for home and field use. I'm trying to find one that is good for both uses. New to this hobby and trying to get all the stuff needed to start boating this spring.

Does anyone have a good photo of this boat. The Elam I'm looking for is the one that is white with blue graphics. I think it was the 99 version, but I could be wrong. Thanks Ray

I need a muffler for my 68 Bardahl scale. I will be running a CMB greenhead and a Steve Muck pipe. Any good suggestions on who sells a good quite muffler. Is the lose in power from a quite muffler really noticeable? I plan on racing this boat and don't want to upset anyone about how loud it...

WD40 I had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to...
