I think that's a "Vacuum" Pickle! You got to much time on your hands, Bro! :ph34r:

Kevlar... it's what the well dressed Marine is wearing these day's. B) Well done, boys!

Here are a couple pics Ron sent, Semper Fi, the hull Phil used for the prototype is the 26" Finlay designed, Porter Harvey built wood hull. It was rigged and driven to a 2nd place finish by Ron Green at the 2004 NAMBA F/E Nats. Ron was flanked by Chris Castanza (1st) and Dick Crowe (3rd) in the...

Double post!

Hey Ron, now that it's out to the public, how about a few pics of your original that Phil used for the prototypes? Doug, congrats, I know you put a lot of work into making this happen, what, almost a year in the making now?

To much change to fast is not healthy for any sport. I oppose the hull restrictions because I can't see racing grossly overpowered small hulls. Number one, it's a safety issue IMO, number two it makes hulls obsolete built just last year that were legal. Before someone jumps on me and says I...

Was my club Larry, you get with the program. It's not my club anymore, I only started it. Most of my club left when the LiPo rule passed. They are all out racing R/C cars, MX, Karts and flying R/C airplanes now. Now you have only two experienced racers left in the club and only Randy has any...

How many people are left in the four major NAMBA electric clubs, Larry? I just thought Phil should know that the length rules are JUST a proposal... if that.

Phil, you might want to wait until these rules are actually voted in before starting on a new hull. IMPBA has said 2009 would be the earliest and so far I have not seen a NAMBA proposal for the length limits, so it might be premature to build a mold around those sizes.

Terry, I am not against length limit, I'm against length limits without power restrictions. Since he brought it up, I asked Mr. Jordan to name a racing organization that has a length limit but doesn't have a power limit, he didn't answer, I can't think of one, I doubt he could either. Length...

Are you insinuating that I have not tried LiPo's, Darin? The fact is, I have raced in Arizona, Georgia and the LA SAW along with all of my club races this year alone. The only time I didn't use LiPo's was at Arizona in LSH where they were not legal. Fact is, I'm sponsored by a LiPo distributor...

Darin, name one racing organization that has a size restriction that does not also have a power restriction??? Just name one? Restricting the weight of the cells will effectively limit the power a racer can use, 150 grams per LiPo cell will restrict the size of the "fuel" tank, reduce the...

For Sale: Hydrag 1/5 scale Drag Hydro hull, I need to help finance other projects and really hate to sell it, but something has to go, I just have to many projects in the fire right now. It does not have stringers installed so it can be setup to run gas, nitro or electric. Another member on...

Awesome, Steve! Good to have you back!

Thanks, Chris! I know they broke the records, but I don't know their times. Please give Chris Grim my congrats on his 124.3mph C Hydro record, that hauling the mail! here's a pic of Arne Hold with his 100mph+ 8 cell boat when he broke the record early in the week.

Chris, If you get a chance, can you post the electric O hydro record set by Arne Hold and P Hydro record set by Matthias Boese?

I had to leave after Tuesday's SAW trials but I just got news that the JAG's Team bumped the record to 140.9 mph today on the 2 way pass and had one pass over 141mph! I spoke to Joerg yesterday before his 130mph run and he told me that they were just doing a shakedown run yesterday evening. That...

I'm sorry for any hassle this boat has caused due to the shipping. It's off the market unless sold locally, Northern California or I will be at the LA SAW Nov 11-13 for the electric racing and can bring it with me. If anyone is interested in either locations, please email me at...

email sent, Ron. Thanks Dan

Everyone waiting on a shipping quote, I wont know until Tuesday, I went by the box shop today but they are closed on Monday. As soon as I have the dimensions of it packed I can give a firm shipping rate. Thanks! Dan
