Seems like that powerhead should have been matched with an SSM and then the whole thing should have been mounted on something that could handle all that horsepower. As I recall, it turned out to be too much for the Checkmate. Gordon gave it a heck of a run, but it didn't take a big miscue to send the little boat up, up and over.Quote:

I see the other tunnel shot in my folder, but it doesn't transfer to manage attachments for some reason. I'll post it if I can get that figured out. Here is the V Twim! :o
you are lisping again ;)Quote:

A few times I have written a rather lengthy responce to something only to lose it when I click submit. The "you are not logged in" bar shows up and when I log in again, what I had written has disappeared. :mad:Quote:

This new format has all of my pictures in one big folder. I have to go through it page by page to find the shot I want to post. I finally just decided to post the written words and then go back to edit the post with pictures if and when I found them.
Anyway, sorry for the no pictures with the post, but I'm doing the best I can with the limited skill I have.....Jackie, this one's too easy for you to mess with.....just keep a lid on it! :D
Don't worry about Jackie......He's never known how to post a picture
Do you have any more photos of Molly and her boat?
