Todays Boating

[ashley needhamParticipant @ashleyneedham69188]

Tested the Griffon on Tuesday and both motors were fairly well balanced. It went ok and got up on the plane however this is something i DONT want…it needs to stay flat as speed. I have cut some channels in the base to stop the water bunching up prior to planing, also made much bigger rudders.

I need to change an esc in the bus I think to even out the starting issue. It still goes alright though….its dead fast.

Also, a boat which I only thought needed ballasting still has a flooding issue and needs some mods….ho hum.

The longtail however is now finished and has not only a driver but a passenger as well! Thanks Trev, another charity shop find. Tropical leaves adorn the Battery cover and I now need a couple of polystyrene balls…thought I had some but they may have been thrown.

Ashley, are those the things which help you to float on your back if you fall into the pond?….
