Tom...not sure what went wrong with you here but you should have went back and refreshed your memory from the entire beginning.Anyone who did or does will clearly see you are off this time.Yes...your smart,yes you a pro RC boat builder and all that good stuff,Yes,I DID appreciate your advice...

No dude...DO NOT talk to me that way.You have no idea who your talking to but I know EVERY forum I EVER joined is to expect arrogant,know it all,Ego maniacs.It is part of the forum society.I had patience through this entire project.Came here to ask for some help,not some over thought,racing nuts...

Dave...was never looking for miracle,just wanted to get the 15 dollar boat running as it was built the best it can run.Not looking or interested in clubs ,racing or trophies .Just some fun is all . I think I did well not breaking the bank and have no plans in doing so.Time consumed is more...

Terry, this is not my intentions to argue or tell you who is right or wrong.You know more about this stuff than I do for sure and that is why I came to this forum to get expert advice. But let be honest about all this.I posted my boat purchase and deal and everyone said it was a nice well built...

Well I see you like to talk WAY more than you like to listen so I wish you luck with it. And if I took what every boat guy told me in the 3 groups I joined...would need to take out a home equity loan on my home to get this boat running :( Nothing wrong with this boat...just needs time at the...

Somehow we got off topic and we are reinventing the wheel on this boat...somewhere I need to find a point where I realize it is impossible to convey information using text.I laid out this boat best I could starting on post #1...how we got to the pipe being too long I don`t know.I was not looking...

Terry, I know you are experienced...this is not the question at all. I started this thread WAY back when I first got the boat for a mere 15 bucks.Other than everyone telling me replacing the bearings are a must,I went and did just that.During that procedure the con rod was found to be beat.So...

Yes...there is a pressure line on exhaust to fuel tank for pressure. I think what happened is our previous conversation was lost and we are starting all over again way off target :) I do not expect anyone to re-read all the posts previous to this point...but we went down all this a long time...

Hmmmm...I am pretty confused at this point.I was told 1000 things and even here on this forum.Did many things and this was never mentioned once.This is the same pipe when I got it...old as heck not new.Nothing is new on this boat except the bearings. Not sure but you helped me out 3 months ago...

I am going to glue the water tube back on the rudder...and get it to the pond and test it until I run out of fuel :)

Pressure fitting? There is a rubber like fitting on the engine port and the metal pipe slips into that with clamp. Here are measurements...is this right ?

An OPS guy called me from Texas and we talked for over an hour about the boat in great detail.He has TONS of nitro and OPS and said he retired from them some time ago and sent me props,glow plugs and the carb for free.I am looking at the glow plug he sent and said it should work.McCoy MC-9 ? He...

Well...so much on finding past history on this boat.It is endless sea of details. But I will sum it up...the boat we all agreed was already setup to run as is.That is where it left off on this thread and other groups I joined.After a run through,greasing of shaft,new glow,new bearings and using...

Terry, It has been some time since we discussed this boat...I would need to look back myself for all that info. I was under the impression we already went through that stuff and was at the last step of setting the carb to run rich and tossing in the water then going from that.I will need to go...

Just to refresh someone memory of this project -

This thread has all details but this boat was purchased used at a garage sale and setup by looks to be a pro that previously owned it.Images and such on previous comments at the begiunning here.This is what we determined here and on various forums.I had rebuilt the engine as everyone said it was...

Finally took this boat out for a first time run...for me the first. I took advice and set it up rich until I could see how it behaved...then bring it in to tune until it ran faster and cleaner.But sadly,after the first 1.5 laps it bogged out and upon retrieval,knocked the water feed off the...

Haha...yeah it sure is. I need to see about plugging the over flow drain.It has rusted over the years and releasing too much water at low level.Boat cut right through it but a boat with a prop will never make it there.

Been awhile but had issues with my mono boat remote control.The battery holder had some sort of issue and had to make a battery pack and power connector of my own.Works great now and hoping to get it to the large waterway we just discovered.Still working on how to get my retrieve boat...

That was a good test spot as the creek slowly runs to a nearby walk bridge...easy to get it back that way but still too narrow...the mono gonna needs a lot more.Still trying to sort out a good spot where I can drop a row boat in to get it.Think I found a spot...no one locally knows much about...
