The boat was the first RC thing that I got that was nitro powered. Needless to say, that engine did not get broken in properly. I started it up and was in love with the sound of the tuned pipe it had on it and was on atleast 3/4 throttle the whole first tank, yet somehow it still runs great and is super easy to tune. For about the first year I never touched the needles and was running the boat extremely lean, then one day I decided that I would mess with them and the boat nearly doubled in speed. Whenever I run it at the campground I get a big crowd because it's just so loud and it's not too often you see something 3ft long going 35+ mph. When we had our boat I ran it out in the Barnegat Bay and Toms River and the boat would constantly end up 3ft out of the water. Just thinking about it makes me want to get back into it, but it's just too much money. If i wasn't in school and had a good paying job I would get back into it.
