Hacker Craft [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Gravman]

We took YEOWZA out for a run this morning. We had the park to ourselves and I managed not to collide with a turtle. They were all over the place and watching the boat run. I wanted to see how she would perform with two people on board. Runs flatter which is good for performance.

I got a couple of shots of the boat. I don’t know why they transferred out of focus. Sorry about that.

Excellent job. She seems to sit perfectly whether at an idle or up on plane, and a beautiful area to run her in.

Thank you, yes we do have wonderful lake to run the boats. We are very lucky to have a place about 20 minutes from home.

Let’s see if these photos are any better.

In the first 2 photos you can see Jimmy Stewart’s scarf fluttering in the breeze. Didn’t expect that to happen.

Last photo shows water dumping for coolant to the motor. Don’t know if it was really necessary but the motor does not run hot.

We are in the process of moving house. We decided to put a model on display. This is a first for us. We have 6 models and it was a difficult decision to choose which one. The First Mate made the final decision and I said yes ma’am.

You know what is fun? I will tell you. Getting the protective paper off of the case parts without touching the plastic. Fun was had by all involved.

I need to put up a small overhead light but that is for another day.
