It's good fun trust me.
If you did a season racing side by side with me, airtours, Brooky and the whites who all set off at almost the same time, it's close racing.
The fact that Helen wins all the time is also due to everyone else breaking down. Lol. All credit to having a boat that works regulary!
Admitedly some things need tweaking but its been the only way to race different classes together for the last million years so something must be right.
By the way have you still got that 18 rigged for racing? That was a nice boat, should have been fast!

Ah I love a bit of pre-season windup, keeps the winter blues away. Better get Sumo set up for a long drag Will as cleugh dock is almost a kilo long, Ted Walsh should get up to about 125/130 down there

Who are you tech team? James?

Not heard anything about switching docks yet. Its not going to be a load of shite straight up and down is it?
Sounds like the big prop had better come out.

will ,you better hope for alot of left turns with all the filler that boat carrys down one side.dunoon 90 my ex partner took side and some of deck out on its first race hence layers of paint over years.

Don't worry about it Steve. Be easier to run 1 up with the extra padding on that side if thats the case.
Getting a lot of advice on this site. Any more is welcome.

Still got it, Had a problem on engine which took months to find, Been losing power all year, Lost a few more rpm's every time I used it, Swapped every electrical and fuel component over and still same, Turned out to be a bad earth, back up to full power now. May do a couple of races this year when weather gets warmer.

By the way you should have bought it instead of bidding me in the nuts, It must be one of the cleanest p18's left unlike Sumo.

Maybe.........
You'll have to come and race now. Throwing the gauntlet down. Slowest lap time buys the beers!!
Had the same problem myself, one week it work fine, next week it ran like a bag of crap. So simple but so bloody hard to figure out.
