Had some water cooling problems....changed brass tubing built into hull to large dia tube, drilled out rudder pickup to 3mm cleaned cooling jacket and nipples... and after this run removed outlet buttons... as long as I have a straight shot from head and muffler water flows... running good now!!!

We had first race at Stony Pond 5/18-5/19.. entered BULLITT in thunderboat class..took 2nd kinda by default.. but I finished with no bouy hits,bouy cuts and was consistant... Had problems with exh. manifold loosening up... now have a GIZMO offset one to try..KEEP IT ON PIPE!!!

Here is round 2 N.Y.S. Championship series @ Stony Pond

todays results were promising...who knew the 4 head bolts needed to be tight??LOL.. noticed there was exhaust gunk in engine bay and the exhaust manifold was still tight..duuuhh.. spec on the piston to head tolerances are now at .015 not bad.. new gasket and ring,sharpened,tuned and polished stock Zippkits prop,put Joes new pipe on along with a gizmo offset manifold (so i can remove with out pulling engine) new o-rings and moved the strut back to plans height first run and up 3/16' second run and we are in the running now!! dialed in and crankin!!!

next step, break in a new ZENOAH so it can run in district race and put trusty X-Force in a EASY-V for the kids to learn how to go fast!!
