This is a race gathering in Europe. The boat pictured in Fuji's post has a battery disconnect on the dash. The club involved is 152 VO, google it -you will be amazed by the details in these very small electric models. I race RC boats competitively for a hobby, was easy to spot the details that stood out. These guys put on a complete replica of an old time ob race, complete diorama to compliment the racing. Very different than over here.
Robin , Im thinking your spot on , the disconnect is the dead giveaway for the Euro guys- and the attention to detail is 2nd to none.Quote:

Is this a case of the boat being faster than the truck,
or the truck slows down faster than the boat?

Dare I say in Florabama somewhere :rolleyes:
If that ain’t the goldarnbest best advert for the new Dodge Ram, I don’t know what is! It’s obviously got good brakes and some serious structural integrity in the roof.
Somebody ought to tell that fella he’s got his shirt on backwards. It only makes sense if that message is in the front, less he has eyes in the back of his head or sumthin.;)Quote:

Almost ashamed to say my first formal training was at the OMC training center on Miami Gardens Dr. in Miami in 1969, after this.......
Speaking as a retired Engineer who has stored hundreds of pontoons in his "other" career, I find it somewhat shocking that they set the pontoons directly down on the rack cross members. Point contact is not good for the logs.Quote:

This distributes the load and prevents deforming the bottom of the logs. Lord knows one doesn't want any hook in a log to scrub off speed!Quote:

Anyone know what this is and how it ran?
...the engines were a pair of highly cosmetically & mechanically modified Mercury 1500 inline sixes, altered to looked like a pair of much older white Mercury 800's. short shaft newer inline gearcases, the newer taller cowling wraps relabeled & to look like the older shorter cowling wraps, newer top covers trimmed to look like the older 800's trim, 70's power trim, paint,...the list goes on... boat was homemade...ran in the sixty's...http://www.fiberglassics.com/media/k...eeperTwins.JPG
Read a bit on it and damn sure not a over night project!
