Woa, I'm actually venturing out of the cars section here.....

not much to report. modifications have been few, redid the radio box and got a new carb. but got to spend a few days running with my uncle and his boat, and there were a few good pictures taken.

we also used a GPS to find the top speed of mine....18.5mph. not bad, lots of room for improvement. and my uncle's is only a hair faster (despite the 2cc advantage on me).

anyway, pics:

that's all for now. I hope to relocate the gas tank to help shift the weight to the rear and bring the nose up (keep it from torpedoing through big waves), and build a tuned pipe for it (thinking through-hull exhaust :nod: ).

It's, it's.... a butt!
Lmao. Cool.
I always want a boat so that I could bother people in the pool, or deliver messages to people across our 'lake'.

Video?
