Did you take the boat to Elsinore today???
I seen him out there. Boat looked GOOD!!!:thumbsUp::thumbsUp:
Pics??
Wazzup GRADS?? Yep made it out today. Took the kids and better half out. Weather was awesome, water was cold but perfect for a cat.
Boat ran good but still have some serious dialing in to do with props and tune. Ran my 30p Merc Lab prop and it just doesn't work. Way too much slip. Boat pulled harder from middle to top end with a stock 32p.
Dropped the boat off at Menace to have him go over a few things that I found today. Between Dustin, Unforgiven, and myself we should get these SCX drives figured out.
Met a board member today, JoePump1. Nice guy that recently bought a gorgeous Lavey Craft. Talked with him for a few then burnt some fuel.
Here are a couple of pics from today.

Have you got more pics of the boat???
or speed numbers?
Right now the numbers are very disappointing. Hopefully Dustin will be able to figure out why she's not running as good as expected.
Did I tell you my experience with a SCX?
The SCX lower is a bit of a nightmare. I don't believe it will ever work as good as an sc lower. That being said I think there is still room for improvement. We are going to try a larger diameter prop and possibly a five blade. We also have a list of things that need to be fixed on the boat that other shops have dropped the ball on or simply fallen short on delivering what they claimed.

SCX-4 doesn't make since because I have little children the love jumping off and swimming around the boat.
Dustin HELP!
