NOT A TECHNICAL QUESTION
(this is in the wrong forum, but I'm not allowed to post in the correct one) Whose decision was it to give us access to all those 'hawt' babes at the bottom of the images pages? Seems somewhat unnecessary to me; I've always been able to find my own, with no help from my 'club'. Not to mention they'r...

...But for the beginner the best advice I can offer when docking is DON"T TOUCH THE THROTTLE. Take your time, if you have to do it over, do it over. I really agree with Brians suggestion, especially if your prop has lots of pitch, remember how far the boat will move per prop revolution. In theory m...

John, if you're looking for flattie dressup parts used, check the classified section of the HAMB. Lots of flattie hotrod guys around. +1 on the HAMB recommendation, and while you're there check out the monster Cadillac flattie built for Bonneville! Radical sounds! Wish my Scripps sounded like that....

Casey, sorry about your dilemma. Shoot an email to the head guy, Joe Martell. He will mail you a Constellation Club patch and a tube of silicon caulk for the gaps in your bottom planks. jmartell@suckyclub.com Hell, I could never even get an "I Don't Care How They Do It at Tahoe" t-shirt from the guy!
