The JVD 20 Sport Hydro

[Dasboatman]

Hey JD,

And I thought the weather man said you were experiencing warm weather up there, Thought it was you dragging the weather up from SOCAL, and the sympathy generated by those of us that read your earlier tests at 34 degrees that help with some decent weather. Darn weather persons, just can't get it right for us boaters. Great weather here yesterday and today - time to go try to get a Scale boat painted. Good Luck with the boat JD. CHEERS !!! Bob

Hey JD,

It looks GREAT !!!

Looks like you like to paint as little as I do. I have been shoting paint this past week too to cove up incisional scars on a developmental Sport 40, and get white onto a new MHR 8255 Scale boat. On my way out to wet sand the bottom of the Scale boat and hopefiully get a couple more coats of white on it. Top is good to go, just needs red, blue stripes,graphics, and clear coat.

I don't even want to hear the temps you'll have on the 15th - Har, Har !!!! CHEERS !!! Bob

Here's how I test to see if my radio box is water proof. It is.

Jerry,

The propellers will go out today and you will be able to test them next week.

Thanks For The Order,

Heres another vid of JD's boat from our snow run today.

That thing is going to need a parachute if it gets much faster. Am I seeing things or is JD standing in the water?

I haven't quite perfected the "standing on the water" ability.

I'm still working on turn fins/props to see if that will correct the hopping in the corners. This is definitely still very much "a work in progress."

JD thats really awesome. I like those lines. Beautiful prototype.Will you be selling them?

 

[shoboat]

Tony,

Some of the hop is from the propeller.

I just finished two new ones for Jerry to try.

I think the V-Cut will help that hopping.

Looks Like Winter Here,

Jerry,

So do you have an update on your set up?

I have a few more options in progress.

Any film?

Thanks,
