Congrats on the maiden voyage Wayne... Give us the blow by blow account from the pod..Did anything go pete tong? I will vividly remember the first time i hit the throttle for the rest of my life.

 

cool looking does
it have a crower glide in it

 

Awesome stuff .Congrats.

 

Thanks everyone ! it went really well, the only problem was with the clutch, Yes it's a crowerglide which the centrifugal side was working perfectly but the pedal for manouvering didn't work and when pressed the arms hit the clutch hat, I'm going to pull it and have a look,
After firing the motor i pressed the clutch pedal to come round through the water , nothing happened so i gently brought up the revs to manouver it, through the water and a quick check from my crew and i was doing my first rolling burnout with my hemi bus,
as this was mt first time in it i was only aloud to do a launch which looking at a slow motion video i used half throttle for about 40 ft and it did a 1.27 60 ft, i can't describe the feeling of the first launch in words but you guys know exactly what it's like !
My second burnout was just as great feeling as the first but when i stopped and got into reverse it wouldn't move , haven't investergated yet but i may have broken the reverser , I might change to a pedal clutch too,
What an awesome day and the best bit is i drove it for the first time on my birthday !!
Cheers !

 

Glad to see you get it running it did seem that you were having a clutch problem looks bad ass keep us posted
