    We were out at CFW a couple weeks ago & it's LOW.You have to use the main body & it's small.The dock wasn't even in the water.I guess it will be the river for the rest of the season.

    A bunch of us regulars from CFW are going to be at Putah Creek Resort for one last run, CFW is too low now to run. I'm sure New Years will be a different story . . . . . . Back to wrenchin on the flattie

    just got back from Camp Far West was a Beautiful day out there and theres still enough water there to have fun . its low but not too low .. was kinda nice only a few ppl out there and by dusk had the lake to our self . Boat Ran Awesome for a maiden voyage .. after breaking the motor in we made a few passes , still needs tweaking on the cav plates and the steering is alil poor but we were able to make some upper 80's low 90's mph passes .. the engine is definately under carbed with the 660's around 6800 rpm was like hitting a Wall but all in all the boat floats and runs and is manageable but will definately have to figure out the steering .. was my first V-Drive i actually got to Drive rather then being Bitch and what a feeling .. definately more motor then i was expecting but hey i had a freakin Blast boat rides awesome for a Flatty very Stable .. only problem we had was one of the soft plugs on the side of the carb bowl dripped alil which i swapped another one from a spare carb and after that Not one Issue was incountered cept the Steering sucks in it .. will be back out there for Labor day w/e since there still plenty of water to have fun in
