These might be available sometime in the future. That all I can say on that topic.

PS it is not me

Yes, I know the full story. We'll see how that whole affair turns out.

I've got a 40 boat from the same source that was their personal boat we're doing some touch up on....always loved those late model Jags.

The pipe mount is custom made. The pipe tip holder is sleeve retained to the pipe and stays with it forever more. (I have made a number of them for some other pipes as well)

The carbon fiber parts work out better then I had hoped. (so far) plenty of adjustment.

I tabled the boat last night and did the initial setup on it. I will check over everything soon and start with the tank that's in the boat. (Still need to build the new one)..LOL.. lazy I guess.

I charged the battery's last night and did the final radio setup.

I typically don't use 3rd channels in a boat but big B made me put one in.. LOL.. anyway my fail safe is set to richen the boat as well as pull down the power if it kicks in.

Don't think it will run a lick, sell it to me now and avoid the pain.

[Grimracer]

LOL..

 

[Greg Bonahoom]

Looking good Mike! Any road trips out to Ricks on the calendar for testing?

 

[Grimracer]

Yes.. we are trying to get a weekend opened up for just that

 

[Grimracer]

I am having to make a radio equipment change in the boat. The throttle and mix servos I had in it were a poor choice (that was on me).

I damaged one and because I got them so long ago I will just replace them with more modern units.

So.. the entire tray had to be removed and a complete redo is underway.

Update when I can.
