We ran this Wednesday with the TFL leg and a 2030 AQ motor. For an initial voyage I was pretty impressed. I thought it ran pretty well. The transom doesn't allow the leg to adjust up high enough......we think. Gonna throw a jack plate on there.

First race.........daa a a a Nats.

[ron1950]

they ever going to get a fe version ready?

[T.S.Davis]

Not sure how you mean.

This was a bare hull they sent that we assembled for FE as we saw fit. Servo mounting plates had to be figured out. Then routing of wires from motor to speedo. Sealing it all up. Same kind of thing guys were doing with the VS1. The VS1 was never specifically intended for FE. It just worked once setup.

The leg that TFL sells is very very similar to the OS unit by the way. Accept there is no adapter required. Motor mounting holes are part of the cast and machining. There was some trickery required to get the coupler to work though. We'll have to address that.

What Ron meant is when is the FE version going to be released for sale to the public. I just looked at a boat list that Monica just sent me a couple days ago and the Caudwell is on it as available now, ya might want to send her a note..

[ron1950]

monica has been telling me that the nitro version is out not the fe...someone needs to get it together

Ron when was the last time you checked? The list I just got has it listed with FE specs. Give me your Email and I'll forward you the list I just got, it has a complete parts list too.

This a hard concept for me to grasp. All my boats are parts and assembly required. My Outrage is a 45" gas cat so......."FE version" doesn't compute.

Terry, I believe TFL is going to release a rtr FE version.,

[T.S.Davis]

I think they might be waiting for some feedback from me actually.

[Doby]

So get on that.............
