Some Vid's & pics
Finally get a chance to show some video of one of my boats. Click on the link & scroll down to the SprintCat video.
That was my second time out with it and wasn't set-up that well at all. Balance a bit to far forward and prop was throwing a huge roost. Didn't bring any more for testing so played around with it as is. Maybe later, I'll move the IV bag to the right sponson and place it at the balance point instead of in front of the engine to help lighten it a tad.
*edit*, Sprint is running a mid mod 260 with basic stuff done & welded non-adjustable Jeroen pipe. Like said, its not setup for anything just yet but my play time is very limited.
My buddy Mark has his ArrowShark and another bud with his BlastCat. Mark's mono runs good. It was running mid 50's and turned good. This is with a clutch & new style Hanson quiet pipe.
Larger screen when you right click & save as...

ps,
the airboat is a work in progress. Mark insisted I bring it, so without decking & pool noodles strapped in oh & of course Aeroplate on the electronics, I ran it reluctantly. Was fun for a minute. LOL.

RE: Some Vid's & pics
Vids and pics look good mate thanks for the preview 
,to say you havent had time to play with the cat much it runs very well.Airboat doesnt seem to run bad either,watch when slowing down thats when they normally flip,if you drop speed to quick they tend to do a back flip [X(].

RE: Some Vid's & pics
Hey Everyone,
Thanks for the kind words about the pics and vids.
The picture credit goes to Jamie (Doubledog) with his awsome cam. I took most of the vids until I got to put the Shark in the water, then Jamie became the director. We had a really great time. The weather was perfect and the water was the same. The boats all ran great also. I have never seen an airboat before until I got to see the boat at Jamies house. Let me tell you that that boat is awsome!! Now all Jamie has to do is FINISH it!!! Hint Hint

RE: Some Vid's & pics
Mark & others.
I just got the invoice for two ROCKETT hydro's
Back to the Presidents Day run.
THAT WAS AN AWESOME DAY ~! Most gas I've burned at one time in almost three years. Shame I didn't bring the prop box down. Mark is the guru at film & edit while I like to stay behind the camera. Super good time again.
Btw, I've got to show a pic of that new cooling cap from Extreme Customs...

Get your crazy tail over here & supervise me! I'm excited about this one more than any other. Now we need to send Mark a kit to build in Kuwait where he'll be for the next year.[

RE: Some Vid's & pics
Well ive never built a hydro let along a shovelnose but yea i guess i shouldnt need practice to build from wood 
,im looking forward to building it too.Ive wanted one ever since i saw one they have to be one of the nicest looking boats let alone hydros that you can get.Ill be taking my time on this one though ,mind you i allways say that and once i get started its hard to stop .Send Mark one that should keep him occupied on his time off .

RE: Some Vid's & pics
I havn't left yet guys!!!!!
I think I will have you guys send me one so I will have something to do. I hope they have a place for me to build one. I'm going to build an airboat also if I can. I just liked the way they slide around all over the water.
