Congrats Jerry! It was great seeing you at the MCMBC race Saturday. Well deserved honor for a super nice guy!

Congrats Steve! I had the pleasure of meeting you a few years back at the Flint time trials. I learned quickly what a class act you are as you helped me, a total stranger, with my set up and gave me some great advice. Well deserved honor!

I got 24 pounds of pork shoulder on the smoker! Will be ready for lunch tomorrow! First come first serve. When it's gone, get a hot dog! Donations to cover food cost are greatly appreciated! See ya in the morning!

Hey guys, Mark informed me that he would be donating some goodies at the race! Thank you Props4u !!!

Jim and Joe, great to hear you guys are coming again! I will relay the info to our club secretary. Please send entries to [email protected] Thanks!

The Motor City Model Boat Club is honored to bring you the "Power Stroke Classic" Saturday, June 17th! This is a really fun race with a great bunch of guys and it gets better every year! Lunch will be served on site around noon with hot dogs, chips, water/gatorade, and yes, I'll be cookin up...

Wicked looking boats Dan!

That was a stock ABC 2719/2 38 bar. However, the boat seemed a bit flighty even with the fin adjusted to dig in a bit and a slightly negative strut setting. I'm gonna try a prop with around a 15 degree rake and see if that settles it down. If not enough, I'll move the fuel bag into the nose...

Thanks. Still need to get it dialed in but yeah, I'm very happy with the boat right off the bench. Thank you. I wanted to do something different and liked the snake skin design so I tried out hydro dipping for the first time. Very easy to do and inexpensive compared to airbrushing. Thanks...

Just finished up my new sport hydro and got a test run in yesterday. Sorry for the bad video quality. I don't know what happened there, but I won't use that phone again for vid. Just gettin a feel for the boat at the start but burned some decent laps near the end. Enjoy!

Great job! That boat is awesome! Looking forward to some video.

That's a wild design. Very cool!

Happy Birthday Chris! Looking forward to seeing you at the pond soon!

Well to each their own. The reason I changed over to the magnetic was because of issues with the very old school push/pull switch. For me its been very well worth it. I can't think of a good reason why anyone would drill another hole in their radio box to install an exposed switch when you can...

I've been using the Invisi switch from Electrotek in all my boats for over 15 years now and never had any problem. In fact, the first one I bought has been transfered from old boats to new ones and is still working great. Here's a link http://electrotekrc.com/marine/switches.html

That's just awesome stuff Terry! If I only had the $$ I'd love to do a vintage model Chris Craft with something like that under the hood! Hey wait, what's the current US to Canada exchange rate? Lol

It was a curved bottom fin. Yeah, I've tested Randy's new very slightly thicker titanium fin and it performs really well on the Backlash.

Thin titanium fins I'm sure work really well with smaller/lighter boats. However, for large gas boats like the Backlash sport hydro, I found that the titanium fin @ .060 thickness flexed way to much for my driving style to the point of letting the boat unhook, barrel roll, and eventually bent...
