    Wow - thanks for the kind words . I work hard to deliver strongly built, well tuned builds. Takes time, lots of attention to detail and some creativity thrown in for good measure.

      FINALLY got my second outing of the season today... All I can say is WOW! This boat was incredibly fast out of the box. Had a hard time keeping it on the water, but I think I am just a few adjustments and a little work on the COG away and it will be awesome. What a great platform to start from. Nice job! My Fe30 was out today too, and that boat is just consistent. Thanks Tony! Bring on the Skiff!

        Thanks again Sir. Every boat needs a little fine tuning of the settings to find the sweet spot for your individual running style. Enjoy

          Here is a video of the Mean Machine that Tony set up for me. This boat really moves! I hit the thermal barrier at the end of the run, so I'm gonna have to prop it down. Tony did a great job, and thanks to my special someone for taking the video. We lost the focus, but you'll definitely get the idea!

              Steve,

              Thanks for posting the vid - It's definitely rewarding for me to see one of my builds run so nicely - Your MM is WAAY fast & corners on RAILS - I really hadn't expected it to be that fast To unload the powerplant with that prop you can raise the strut vertically a bit ; 1/8" to even 1/4" BUT probably easier to prop down & test.
