    My new Gasser

    Man cannot live by FE alone..... Okay, he can but I still like to mix it up with the gassers on race weekend. So I replaced my stock Zen DF Sniper with a Aeromarine Vector. She has Speedmaster hardware hanging off the transom and sports a Huff Racing big block Zen, Insane Dominator Carb and CC Beast Pipe. I also added a Speedmaster waterproof locking toggle on the radio box lid. Bob Austin is doing a prop for me and I'm on the list for some Dick Tyndall turn fins. I cant wait to get her in the water but the brunt of winter is breathing down our neck so I'm going to have to wait a while.

    I'm also working on a new TS3 P-Spec (Smock) Tunnel which should be done in a week or two. I'll post some pics when I'm done.

      Some probably have thought that from the start Chuck. LOL

      Happy New Year to you and the rest of the Tidewater Gang. Hope you guys get your pond situation squared away so you can start running again!!

                  I love gasser's, that's a great looking boat! I miss my day's of running nitro, but the elecrtric stuff is alot more user friendly i think. I've never had a "weedeater" boat before, if the pond across from my buddies house works out the way we hope i may be doing a gass project next instead of any more electrics. Long story short, it's already a huge working gravel pit pond, we can run R/C boats on a it all we want when the gravel crew is done for the day and on weekends, but eventually the plan is a to make a full recreational spot out of it!
