He is standing behind it. And we will run it before it goes back in. Too much at stake with what I've blown on those powerplants.

I was once really into it and it's all I could think of. It's pretty much a distant memory and a pipedream at this point. Most fun I had was towing it around and launching it once.

Spent a fortune on a high end build/project, that doesn't run, and I have no answers. I've kind of officially given up and am too disgusted to even care. It's a stupid boat and that's all, nothing more to me.

I've got more important things to worry about than a toy at the end of the day. Business has me pretty occupied and I am pouring my time, energy, and thoughts into that right now. To hell with that boat, not letting it get the best of me by simply walking away from it.

Hey ICED - nice manifolds in the video! Oh yeah, interior looks great too!

We need to do a photo shoot together next season, same paint layouts, it would look neat. You coming here or am I going out there? Or both?

Great idea! We need to get Tim to Go Pro us running side by side, that would be killer.
I liked the area, probably be up there again next year, maybe Mild Thunderer will make it up this time too.



Two cigs same paint side by side .. woohoo !! I like that idea

Every new build has gremlins to chase, if you've only idled the boat, you aren't done chasing them! It sucks and will put you into a deep depression if you let it for sure! BUT... the day you get a full run out of the boat you will be the happiest guy on earth!....... If that was my boat, Id be idling out to the party spots just the way it is... just to take it out! Its beautiful!!
