well i have had it wet a couple of times now and have had a few dramas.
First run i had made a small shroud over the carby but it was still sucking in water in the carby and stalling.
Second attempt i made a dodgy cover over the carby with an old juice container, this worked and i managed to get a few 5 minute runs.
Third attempt some water got under the tape that holds the radio box lid down and my reciever got wet so i dried it out and cleaned with some circuit board cleaner and it works fine again.. lucky
Fourth attempt the pull starter cord snapped.
Fith attempt was today, i made a new carby cover, fixed pull starter and also leaned out the low speed needle a bit witch made it rev a bit sweeter from idle. got a couple of 5 min runs speed is ok but it dosent seem to be reving right out. i am not sure if i have the pipe length right it is also a bit rich up high. it did stall a couple of times also. im not sure if it might have got a bit of water in the carb or if i got some interfearance and the failsafe kicked in.
I also noticed that it seems to hop a fair bit in the turns. it is fine on the straights but as soon as you start to turn it will start hopping.
I also lowered the prop a little to get the rear out of the water a bit as it seemed to be running a bit wet. so at the moment the prop is just below the sponsons.
here are some pics

Quality is a bit low but it will give you a bit of an idea.
