Best of luck Bob.

These were awesome in "the day".......haven't seen many around for a few years. Looks like he was running an older style foot with a nose cone and they had a tendency to lift the rear of the boat......they went to a "hatchet style" later and they were a lot more stable.

Fred........finally getting around to opening the package from you tonight. Received it on the day that I get my device turned up and that kinda wears me out for a day or two. You certainly didn't have to send all the addional stuff.........just getting the lower unit was more than enough...

Don.......saw these run a few years ago at the WTC and people who haven't witnessed them in person don't know what they're missing. I came back home and immediately got ahold of Mark to put one on order. Because of circumstances beyond my control, I haven't had a chance to finish or run mine...

Bob.......it's a shame these haven't caught on up here. These are such a rush to watch and they put on one heckuva race. Get ahold of Mark Poole and get one ordered.......his boats are some of the best I've seen and you shouldn't have to worry about meeting the rules if they do take off up north.

Walt......I'll take it. Thanx, Ron

Mike did a super job on this one.......like the lines of it much better than a Hemp boat.

Doug.......am interested in #15 (Angle Blocks). Please give me a price and will send money order out next week. Thanks, Ron

Hey Mike......actually, many of the full sized pro boats (500cc and above) used the bracket method for the turn fin mounting. Many used two or more fins attached to the bracket to help hold them in the corners.

Radio South.......not lipo but have had excellent success with MKIII this year. Went to it because of compact size and replacable plug tip. Had used the MKII but a bit bulky and had problems with Futaba charging jack. http://www.radiosouthrc.com/thumbnail.asp?cid=16

Hey Mike.....does $50.00 sound fair to you on the Hyperformance Lower Unit assembly ? Thanx, Ron

Leisurely cruise around Lake DePue on a Saturday afternoon:

Hey Beau.....try here: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCR64&P=Z

Just added info for live feed.

This is a two hour drive from Chicago and IMO the best show on water. If these don't make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end, there is something wrong with you......the sight of a dozen 500cc Runabouts coming down the chute and into the first turn side by side is something that...

Wet and wild

Hey Joe......how did J.Michael Kelley and J.W. Myers do in Detroit ? We were pitted across from them at the '08 Stock/Mod Nationals in Whitney Point,NY. They still like to get out and bash it with their "knee jockey" counterparts on occassion.

Have an Irwin quiet pipe......send pm if interested. Thanx, Ron

Chris and Terry......thanks so much for the info.....I have a few boats to get done and have been gathering stuff together so everything is here when I get started. Mike.....sorry for stealing your thread. Like I said, I have to get going on getting some paint work done and had the same...
