Sunglasses eh Spooky. That's a cool addition and should help keep the sun from the pilots eyes.

Glad to see that Doctor Harry is paying good attention to you.

Will

Hi Ye All

Well Doctor Harry has been looking after my old fruit Wavemaster.

Oh boy, he is looking the part and is feeling very elegant !!!

Hopefully we do the club's first Double Dip Day this week so the Doc can tick this one of the bucket list.

As for me self, I am fully kitted up ready to hit the water.

We both have a Spring in our rudders and ready for the canal.

Hopefully some pics and video soon.

Regards

Ye Old Spooky

I hear that poor weather and low tides have delayed your double launch, but hope you will both be getting your hulls wet together very soon

Hi fellow country boats

Well me old built shed mate hit the water on a lovely Spring sunny day.

Ye old Wavemaster cruised around and had a great time for first day in the water.

I said old mate that motor has to go !!!!

I will talk to the Doc and see was in his box of bits ??

Well for me, it was not a great day.

A nice cruising speed with big turns !!!

The Doc up the juice with a 4S Lipo and was getting cracking along.

But my top drive line bush over heated and me motor stopped !!!

Luckily I drifted a shore and the Doc had to do the walk of shame to get me.

So after inspection, oiling was not the problem and we are still working on it.

But all in all, it was a great day with warm water, sunny day and 20C plus day.

Regards All

Don't panic Spooky, Doc will have you sorted in no time I'm sure.

Hi Gentleman

Well the Doc replaced the the uni joint with a solid 5M to 3/16" coupling and top me up with oil.

Had a run on 3S fuel, but, not cutting it.

Replaced with a big 4S fuel and Oh Boy, I was flying !!!

I was fast on the first run , well over me old IC days.

On the second run, I was up on the plane and it was like one of those new turbo things kicked in !!!

I rocketed down picking up super speed and sitting flat straight on the water (well I think I was still on the water).

Me old shed mate Wavemaster is happy with his new motor.

He thinks he the fastest Kruiser in the south .

Also the new little lad, Sea Scout had to have a crack and put on a good show.

Dam noisy little fellow, but Doc is having a look at that .

Signing Off

Hi All Ye OLD Country Men

Well out in the sunshine today and 23C .

Nice mid tide and the water was cool.

The Little Diva had first crack the water and show some nice flighting runs !!!

I slipped in and after a check to see my new water cooling system was working.

Off I went with a dam quick run before kicking me turbos and I really showing off !!!

On returning to shore I had some water under me motor.

On testing it was found a very small hole in my cooling coil.

The Doc has another one line up hopefully for next week.

I do not think I have travelled so fast in me life !!!!

Hello Mr. Zooma

I feel like a spring chicken !!!!

A sleek little Princess has arrived in the shed from the old country.

It's set me rudder wriggling !!!!!

That cheeky Waverider was straight over to her and talking in Nor-Star English !!!

When I popped over and bowed, she said she was a bit shabby dressed .

I said the Doc will clean you just fine and you will look very elegant!!!!

Must say she has nice lines and being a gentleman I did not ask her age !!!!

I am going to raid the Doc's parts bin for some bits !!!

I found a whole new drive line with a lovely shiny prop, a new solid coupling on a 3648-1450kv motor for starters.

I think I am love.

Good to see and hear you Spooky! Great lines and good wake. I have a couple of your relatives in my garage who I hope to get out and exercised some day.

Hi Andy

Resized the photo's !!!

Thanks Harry, thats brilliant. Cheers.
Turns out the cockpit side spacing I had decided on from measuring photos was only half a mm out from the measurement you just gave me. Amazing how close I managed to get it from some photos, I measured loads of them though, then a rough guess at the end, ha ha😁

Andy M · « **Reply #48 on:** February 04, 2022, 03:08:17 pm »

Here is my plan side view. Can anyone spot any areas that are out? It was hard to work out forward hull shape from angled photos but looks quite close to me.

Andy M · « **Reply #49 on:** February 04, 2022, 03:12:53 pm »

I will start posting my build soon, should I call it 'scratching it with a Javelin'? 😁
