Thanks Joe, I've only got 2 props right now. I've used one already and worked fine at the proper height. The other is a 2 blade prop I haven't tried yet. I might just stick to the 3 blade that...

Hey Ron, I'll be starting out with one of your props you made for Mercguy. I don't know anything about it except it seems to work pretty good!!

Thanks MH and Dave, I've got a paint store close by. I'm going to pick up stirring sticks and I should be ready for this weekend. I just got the tools to check the height and angle and noticed I...

What do most use for shims to raise the motor slight if needed?

Just need some seat time, or should I say kneeling time? Maybe I'll pick up a 102 midseason so I can run CSH as well. I'll see how it goes. Thanks again

Thanks Dave. I don't know of any clubs over here. I think Tri Cities may have something but not sure. I know they race the unlimited's on the Columbia so they may have some kind of club over...

Yep, I picked up the 80 from Daren. Super guy to get lots of help from. I think I've asked him more questions than most, since I'm basically getting started by myself. Weather permitting I might...

Patrick, thanks a ton. I would really enjoy getting together and doing some testing. What I have right now is the basics to get on the water....Boat completely rigged, Y80, and a couple props. I...

Sounds really good. Keep me posted. I'd really like to come over and attend and bring my 13 yr old son. I can't quite tell how excited he is to do this stuff, but I'd really like to do it before I...

Thanks again Ron. I just wish spring were a little closer. I was hoping the warm fall would last a little longer so I could take it for a spin over Thanksgiving. If it stays as cold as it is I...

Shoot me a picture, Daren, I'd love to see it when you get it done

I'm working on it...;) Ron, it just jot here today. It's very light. I'll let you know how it works out when I get a chance to try it. Thanks

Nice touch Ron! :D Definitely want to protect the goods.

Ron - I can sure see why you need it. I think I'll just rent a U-Haul and put the miles on their rig

Thanks Daren, I updated my list. How are your boat projects coming along?

Jeff, you won't have to worry about snow in the Kent area. If anything it will just be wet. It gets a lot colder on the east side of the mountains where I live.

Legal gas was mentioned. What would be illegal - if you mixed it with something you were not supposed to? If you fill up a tank with regular gas are you in good standing? Geeze, the more answers I...

Yep, Daren made sure I was setup to race. Just need all the incidental stuff like helmet, cut sleeves and pants... The list goes on.

Seems like this initial stuff is a bit spendy. Thanks to Daren he got me into a boat very reasonable. I'll just work on the other details a little at a time over the winter. Thanks guys - looking...

Jeff - nice touch!!

Not lacking in confidence right now. I'm actually kind of anxious - kind of looking forward for spring already and its forcasted for snow by end of week. Daren, I think you...

Do most of you camp out at the race site, or do you usually find a close by motel?

Thanks Bill, that's huge!! Not just the list, but to have this information. There's so much stuff to get I don't think I'll be getting it all in one shot. I do appreciate you taking the time to...

For all you seasoned racers.... does anyone have a list of things to make sure you bring along to a race. Besides all the obvious: boat, motor, gas, prop & pins, helmet and safety gear, what are...
