it was a good effort by the meteorologist. Actually described Bills Expresscraft as the Proboat Hydro w/ a 2028 on 10s. eh, close enough

Ive seen it twice now and both were of the Expresscraft run

That's pretty neat stuff! Some national attention! Wish our club was a bit bigger! A friend of mine works for wkbw here in buffalo. I'd love to get some footage of us racing our stuff! Great stuff man!

Hey Scott! Did you crack open the "box" yet?

[ron1950]

i cant even find it on there at all.

[jj2003]

It may be done for the evening. I seen it about 4-5 times starting around 9pm and up until about 10:30. I havent seen it since. Very cool though.

Just gotta say, WOW, what a turn out today! Great to see so many new faces. I hope everyone got to meet Brian Watts from RocketCityRacing.

[RCKong]

He was misinformed and that's my fault I guess. Their message referred to "hydro" so I gave them all the specs on Ray's Proboat. Then after realising they might have been talking about the LSH heat sent them information on that as well. Don't know how the Expresscraft got involved in it since it's a long ways from a hydro.
But as long as the club name and location was right that's the good side.

Scott,

The yellow skunk cat is Brian Mohs aka mohsb boat.

Is it related to what we talked about some time ago when I mentioned ordering from overseas and you said there might be a chance that there will be more than one or two ordered? I'm trying not to let out the

here is the culprit on the trolling motor...$30.00 shipped for the part. certainly cheaper than a new trolling motor. It failed because all the wires were twisted up, burned thru the insulation and shorted it out. ahh easy to fix.

Since it's apart anyways, wonder if we could shorten the shaft by a foot or two. Should make it easier for steering with the control handle a little lower and by shortening it up would keep the motor end from digging into the lake bottom when it's dropped all the way down.
Just a thought...

The Sunday after Thanksgiving is the 4th Sunday and would be a normal run day. Right now the big question (in my mind) is will we have a working rescue boat for that date?
