Grim,

you're definitely right about not being able to gauge ride attitude from the way it sits in the water

another...wish there was another way to attach these that didn't require cutting the quality down so much, any ideas?

I didnt insure it so there no way of tracking it that I kjnow of........Im sorry about the delay Dude, you should have had it a week ago now. I really did send it, I promise..... Wont be the first time Ive lost crap in the mail. Keep an eye out for it, maybe it'll show up.

yea,

that's really strange, i wonder where heck it is?

the address was right......it isn't like a model engine carb's got hazerdous materials in it or it something. sucks that you did the work to bore it out then i never got to test it and tell you how it did.

I don't want to scare you people but I sent something small two weeks ago and got the enveloppe back yesterday. It was empty, and opened. (teared) I heart sometimes an enveloppe with a small part in it get stuck and or damaged in the machines which sort the post. >

I was thinking the same thing Oscar, but thankfully Joe got the Carb yesterday, and it only took 2 and a half weeks ;D

yea,

really weird- here's a comparison:

3.5cc engine carb in a little padded envelope package, shipped inside the country- takes two and a half weeks

32" fiberglass hull, shipped in a large box inside the country- recieved today, shipped on tuesday!!

why this is i don't know.... :
