All done. Since this is just a prototype for the hull design I haven't started with the cowl design. Once I get the boat working OK then I will start work on it.

It did good! Generally I don't worry about going fast on the first day of testing with a new saw boat...I just like to check out all the other things it has to do. So what I know is: it floats, it launches great. It drives real nice at idle speed, it turns great without a turn fun (maybe one of the nicest driving saw boats I have ever built), it is very smooth during acceleration, and it runs perfectly straight while accelerating. The water wasn't really good for going fast, but since everything else was going so good I let it eat once. It looks like it has potential to be fast, but I think I'm gonna have to make some adjustments to keep it on the water over 90.

No Donna was busy, so I was out there by myself. Next time it is all her though!
