actually she will run on plane for about ten minutes at a time. The
limiting factor right now is the controllers we started with but we are in
the process of upgrading both the controllers and battery pack

we had her out on Hagg lake west of Portland for about four hours and we
were running on plane for about 40 minutes of that time and the balance
running at cocktail cruise speed.

While the performance is limited at this time we feel we have a niche market
that is unfulfilled at this time. She really runs better than you would
think.

I apologize - I was being a smart ass.

That is quite an accomplishment.

Congratulations.

Still think it would run better with a couple of Rolls Royce twelve
cylinder Merlins though. :)

Hey Tom, have you ever seen that monster custom built wooden hotrod powerboat at
Harbor One Marina? I think the name is Outrageous, which is appropriate. My best
guess is around a million bucks. That might be low. It's not my type of boat,
but it's breath taking just the same. About 40 feet of highly polished and
tricked out perfection.

Yes I have and you have the name right I think.

If we're thinking of the same boat, it passed me once as I was exiting
out by Saybrook Light on the way to Hackett's Reef.

You could feel the power through the hull of the Ranger.
