September 20th, 2003 Meeting Photos:
Great day for a float. Sunny, cool, light breezes, and possibly a record set for the number of tables set up at a club meeting. The Air Show was sponsored by Vac-U-Boat. More on that later...

 |
| Frank's mosquito boat hull is ready for the deck. Spray rails? installed helped keep the hull dry. | Quite an assortment of craft. | See what I mean about a record for table attendance? |
 |
 |
 |
| Paul messing around. | Needs smaller hands or bigger boats. | Chris is ready with the new Hot Shot Sprint hydro. |
 |
 |
 |
| At the end of the day it was zipping along pretty well. | Close of hot engine. | You can appreciate the size of the motor on this Chris Craft... |
 |
 |
 |
| When you see it standing inside the hull. "The Bosch" | Matt brought the only sub of the day. | Tug to the rescue! |
 |
 |
 |
| Kens a cruisin. | Later that day, the boat was found mysteriously run aground and abandoned by its crew. | Matt's new hull. |
 |
 |
 |
| This is a Cen Racing "Grey Thunder" model. | Shawn's boat zipping along | Rescue of the day. Like an iceberg, 90% of this boat is underwater. |
 |
 |
 |
| Shawn's table. | Sorry, couldn't run the air boat. But we thought about it. | OK, you got me. Checking the pull of a tug. |
 |
 |
 |
| Another scratch built hull in progress. | Hard to take a photos of this one. Since the motor stays cool (Bosch) just swap batteries and back out into the water. | Nice air show near the end of the day. No expense was spared to bring you this entertainment. |
September 6th, 2003 Meeting Photos:
Great day for a float. Cloudy, cool, light breezes, and lots of folks stopping by to take a look. Two meetings this month because of the mild weather. This first one on the sixth of September. The numbers of Fast Electrics is increasing. Fortunately, no collisions. Although, if this keeps up, we will need to set up a racing course and get out the stopwatch.

| Carey's Cat | As the day went on, these two boats seemed to go faster. | Ted's cruiser & David's Chris Craft passing it. |
 |
 |
 |
| My back! | Getting a look inside the cruiser. | Scratch built! |
 |
 |
 |
| I had several photos like this. Lesson: Hold camera, or transmitter, not both! | Cat again. | Magnetic towing line. Works, but would need to put magnets in everyone's boat. |
 |
 |
 |
| Another high speed pass. | And another. Blonds have all the fun. | Scott's Wave Chopper. |
 |
 |
 |
| I think David's added a few more details. | Ken's scratch-built trawler under construction | Inside Shawn's boat. |
 |
 |
 |
| The Bosch motor everyone's talking about. 5-poles, 12 volts, monster torque. | Stern of the same boat. Clean setup | Another boat from Paul? |
 |
 |
 |
| Another look inside. | Deck of Ken's ship. | Cockpit of David's. Where are the "Action Figures". |
 |
 |
 |
| Hot off the press: "Vac-U-Tow" Tow Boat. | John brought a float plane. | It was a boat for about 15 seconds. |
