I read this somewhere, I don't remeber where. When you choose a lightweight hull there are 3 main points: Strength Weight Cost You can have any 2 of those together. If you have an extremely light hull, that is very strong, its not going to be cheap Likewise, A very light, low cost...

lol, plug, plug

Toluene is great for getting the glue residue of your ski when doing mats. The problem with 'most' octane boosters is they are not guarenteed to work everytime. For example, if you boost 97ron fuel to about 99, most of the time you will get 99 some of the time it will do nothing. If your...

For low end the ports are wider for top end they are higher.It is possible to get bottom end back on a race cylinder with the likes of water injection. Most builders port differently, talk to a builder with your requirements. I personnaly prefer an engine that accelerates quickly rather than...

I don't know the full story with WD, and to be honest don't want to. But why does everyone think it is there personal mission in life to rip this guy apart everytime his products are mentioned. A lot of people seem to have been ripped off or had to wait forever to get his stuff. The majority of...

If I knew before the comp, I would tell the rider who was cheating to follow the rules and make sure they are legal. After the comp I would give the rider the option to come clean and admit to cheating, If they didn't then I would protest. The rules are there to be followed and there is no room...

I watched a show on Discovery last night 'Megamovers' and they raised a B25 bomber from the bottom of Lake Murray. You should contact them and recreate your story

Took me an hour to read this thread, what an amazing story! Really glad you finally got your boat back, the suspense was killing me. Hope you get that thing back up and running soon. Stu

Found a pic

lol, I had loads of trouble learning this trick, bruised shins, split chin. I eventually learnt to do it by first doing a can can out to the side, I kept doing this until I got used to the sensation of hanging of the back of the ski. It hurts a lot less if you get it wrong when your legs are...
