more boat modding!! lol this should (fingers crossed) be it!

so....to keep the front down, i added 2 of these nuts and a smaller one in the very front of the boat (yes, it still floats, pretty well actually)


It make sure the front end doesn't try to go underwater when i let off the throttle, i added this to push the front up if it goes too far down


last time i tested it, the leaked bad and the bars on the side would drag in the water and with the extra weight, it would only be worse! so i took the bars off (knowing that their should be plenty of glue holding it togather) and taped up the sides and holes in the back boat (left the screws in the front boat becouse it would be way too hard to get to them and they are sealed from the inside anyway. not to mention that they are right above the water wile running and they dig in in curves and lower speeds splashing water up, should be a good effect)


then, to kelp keep the back down, i found 2 long, bent peices of pretty thick aluminum, so i put them on the back at a slight angle to catch and throw water up.



and done! once again. i will test it saturday!
