Default My Boat

My boat is starting to come along. all i need to do now is mount the rudder asembly and mount the top back on, and get rid of the crappy motor that is in it now, and figure out why my esc i have in it isnt working right. it keeps needing to be reprogramed every time i plug it in.

I wish I'd had more time to give this a try Charlie, it looks like a ton of fun. I'll have to find a boat pond out there in California!

Default ready to go

OK we are up and running. We got the course laid out and the drivers stand and pier in.

We have had a couple good days of racing and are having a blast.

I took some video today and will have it on my web site later tonight.


We have nailed down a schedule for this year.

Racing/Practice 1st and 3rd Sunday every month 9 to 5 ish

Practice 2nd and 4th Thursday evenings every month 6 to dark

Anyone interested in racing boats can email me at [email protected] or call me at 608-770-6205


Come and check it out.

Default So Far So good

We are having a great season so far.

Our big race is on June 26th and 27th. It is called the Sardine Classic.

But is there any chance for us nitro guys in teh south central WI area? I'd even go as far as Rockford if there was a place I could play with mine. This woman here is being a complete btch to anyone with a boat at the lagoon. Might have to file a complaint with the local zoning comminsioner about here running a PRIVATE business on public land.

Default Lake Marion

It sucks you dont have a place to race. Where do you live?

There are no Nitro or Gas boats of any kind allowed on Lake Marion where we race. The lake has a few people like the ones you mentioned who do not like us being there. However in our case we have the Town on our side and they love the fact that we use the park so it makes no difference what they think.

We only race electric but I will ask around and see if there are any nitro clubs in the area.

Come out and check us out sometime.

The Fastest Radio Controlled boat in the world is now Electric!!!
