:unsure: Good one, I found sone of the green stuff, only two sheets but about ten five foot by three inch by four inches. I wonder how many sponsons can be made from these. Yeah the green stuff is what they nail or glue to the exterior and render. :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: I am one of the little pigs who made his house out brick. :woohoo:

Hi Isuzu.

I think that your skiff made some impressive testrun.
Mostly regarding to speed and stability in turns.
Only thing is that for me it looked kinda unstable when running straight. But I guess thats the way of skiffs.
Maybe this could be corrected with a couple of strakes at the bottom?
Anyway: Dont try the same thing in rough waters with a skiff, if you want to compete with me some day. (Now it's me pickin' on you) :laugh:

Cheers! :cheer:

Woodie.

I can take it Woodie, and welcome it B) Right now, these nights have me screwed up. But at the time of the video, I found out I have too much negative pitch in the prop now. Started out, it jumped straight out of the water, so I put about a degree and 1/2 of negative... too far, need to back it off a little bit. Should be fine after that. B) Don't worry about me challenging you with this one though... Don't want to blow over and watch you speed away :silly:

That's what I like to see just a little ?????? bit of friendly rivalry. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: How does the saying go? My black cat is blacker than your black cat. or words to that effect. :laugh:
Also it sooooooo good to see that this small???? jousting competition is not getting ouy of hand :woohoo: :woohoo:
I hope you guys realise that someone with a hugely loud voice is going to have to say, "ready, steady GOOOOOO" It has to be heard from Denmark to Texas. Talk about the shot that was heard around the world. ;)
Hey Is, You reckon your more than ready, what about us poor guys on the sideline waiting for the challenge of the decade. :woohoo: :angry: :woohoo: I can say that becauseit's almost the end of the decade now.
Waiting for more.
Moofy.

Or should I say...."now that would be the MONO's ass!!!! Here's to ya Woodie!!! :laugh:
