Dam... I was going to IM you too, but I diden't want to look too needy. Would have been a cool job. Well Doug I wish you the best of luck, I'm sure Tom's choice was a good one! (Figure I better get on his good side , he could delete my posts!) ;D No really good luck!!!!

Hi Tom I'm interested in the Moderator position. Does it pay well? ;D Just kidding. I know I'm new to your community but I have been in the hobbie on and off for years and would love to help others enjoy it too. I browse the forum twice day and would like to be a part of your team. Please...

I am building a Dumas Atlas Van Lines U-71 (36"Pay and Pack hydro). The instructions show to mount a small turn fin on the rear of the right sponson. However my U-1 has a large fin mounted on the bottom of the right sponson. Does it matter which type I use? I would like to use the same type...

Thanks Grim... I will have to give them another shot. Maby it got lost in the mail. Where in Wis. are you from? Any good ponds in your neck of the woods?

Hi what is your normal price for two blade 3/16" props? I need a few done but I don't own them yet! Waiting for Octura to send them. I'm just wondering incase I don't get them before the end of the month.

I live in Appleton, about 20 miles from Green Bay. You know... home of the Green Bay Packers. Well let's not even go there. As for boat clubs I'm not sure if thats what I'm looking for. There is one in Oshkosh (about 30 miles from my home) but I don't think they want me to join. I talked...

Ed I just mailed out a check for another rossi carb. This one comes from a different seller and he promised for it to fit. It has a barrel carb so hooking it up will be easier. But I wish I would have read this post sooner. I have heard of Geraghty carbs and would have tried one. Just...

Hey just looking to see if any one on the site is from my area. Would like to share info on good places to run boats etc.

Thanks for all the good ideas! I have a tuned pipe for the engine, but I would have to make a taller cover for it to fit. Thanks to you guys I'm going to make two covers. A larger one to fit the tuned pipe, and the short one and try some of your ideas. I really like to look of the shorter...

What about back pressure? Is there a great importance in having it? I had a prather with a inboard 3.5cc and once in a while the exaust header came loose. The boat ether died or wouldn't hit full throttle when this happened. As for the boat I'm working on... I plan to use one of thoes...

I have a hydroplane that has very little room for a tuned pipe. I was wondering if I could use a straight pipe to run the exaust to the end of the boat and then put a muffler on the end of it. I don't race I just run my boats for fun so loosing a few RPM's is ok. As long as it dosn't make the...

Wow! I am glad to see that I'm not the only one confused by the NR slide carb. I have a OPS .65 and was looking for a carb to replace the cheap single needle one that came with it. I posted a question about what type to replace it with on the RC Universe page. Everyone told me that the Nova...

I read once that polyester resins have a wax film that comes to the surface to aid in curring. Because of this I always sand old epoxy and clean with alcohol before I try to glue new stuff to it. Dumas uses polyester resins in all of their hulls. If you go with the same stuff to glue in your...

Hi I need a new carb for a OPS .65. It needs to have a .545 or 14mm neck. Please let me know what you got. [email protected] Thanks!

Re:Project 'Hydro-therapy' Thanks! I am about to place an order with Octura, your info came just in time!
