Default Velocity dinner

Just a suggestion for another get together before you know it the holidays will be here and we'll all be running around like crazy.

May i suggest hitting the anappolis powerboat show on saturday then dinner at harris's @ kentnarrows.

Or we can wait till Feb like last year.

Well we are filling the voids in between hull with helium right now. Without the heluim we are 1 HP per 5.52 LBS of boat. Horse Power to weight ratio and trying to get to 1 HP/4.0# ratio. The guy's keep sucking on the helium hose and talking like Donald Duck. They're are about to wear me out. You really don't want to see pictures of this.

I'm going to come up there as soon as I get dialed in so I will be bringing fiberglass when I come. Sounds like I'm going to have to pass this time around. Have one for me.

VV be very carefull with this. I've tried it twice...once with helium. I used alittle too much and my 280 floated away like a birthday baloon. It's still up there somewhere.

The second time I used hydrogen. The out come was bad. BOOM. Burned my hair right off.
