[racervboat]

That's what im hearing brother.Midnight fun run? will have the whole river and launch its all ours hahaha

I cant believe after all the cutting, grinding, sanding , painting blood sweat and almost tears he is worried about a little drop of rain !!!
the boat is going to get wet anyway so stop being a sissy and get it out.
we readers of this great topic dont car if the sun shines or not, we dont care even if it snows or frogs fall out the sky.
just get some poor soul to stand on the bank while you do a fly past.
we need to see this thing go and hear the roar of the mighty V4.

so just get a wetsuit or dry suit or even birthday suit and go test that boat

13 pages 8 weeks of reading, and your worried about a little drop of rain and cool temps ?
anticipation is killing us

come on lets see it moving .


( if it was mine I would no way get it wet, looks too nice to put in a dirty old river)

I did not want to go alone cause I don't have a mountable camera cant drive and film with just me.Yes it was raining and very windy not a very good time to go test it will get it done sat morning or sunday morning.Some people don't have the opportunity at the time cause they have jobs and a family to support so jack give it a day or so and we will get it done.

[olboatman]

Ya don't blow her over!!! I agree as to waiting for some good weather......then again if ya got a nite vision lens for that camera night testing would be fun AND dangerous!
