DKen you already out ran the gas boats with your .12 cc rigger last weekend. Ken has demonstrated to me that a .12cc is bad ass boat and that if you need an entry level fast boat the way to go is small boat with a small nitro engine that is less than 50.00 - 75.00 price tag. This is the real entry level that can be supported by the LHS.

Today started of not so good .busted the flex collar on the LOSI with GOLD K&B carb was going to try the LOSI today so I pulled it.an drop a novarossi .12 with a Raptor pipe .I think I must of over tighted collar was really looking forward to running a bigger prop.

The centerski worked great boat laid flat on the water was a little rougher wider sponsons helped it out.turn great

Control valve on water works great.

hunting more collars this week for sure.

Ken,

What size do you need?

1/4 x 28 to what shaft size?

I have quite a few in stock here in my shop.

I would not worry so much about more propeller as I would getting the pipe

and motor combination better. I ran a set up this past weekend that was

AMAZING and it was not with a lot of propeller on the boat.

Let Me Know Ken?
