Really Nice looking! Is that a JR radio or a WFLY? I noticed in the first picture that your stick on lead weight is being run radially up the sides. May I suggest that you put it all directly on the keel of the boat so that you will have maximum stability, especially in the turns. If its All as low in the hull as it can go then you will have the maximum meticentric height(as Dave would say). I would peel off all the tape that comes on them and stick it down with clear silicone seal after sanding the plastic where it will go. Just a suggestion.

Looking good, Sonar Tech! Do what Mark said about those weights. Detail where the water is coming in there with the SD -- I don't like that. Is it coming up through the top of the safety float-valve?

Not sure where it is coming in . less than a quarter teaspoon in about 20 mins . I also roll the boat over more than I should have. that probably did not help

That's likely what happened: the snorkel and safety float-valves unseated when upside down, providing a straight flooding path through the induction plumbing, right into the after dry space. Dumb-ass!!
You people!
RTFI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't make me come over there!

Yea I remembered too late about rolling and was trying to get out air bubbles. I am pretty sure that was the cause due to having no leaks all the prior times I have had it in the water trimming, I did the read the direction months ago should have review them duh!

You're in the area. We have an invite to run our boats at the big lap pool at the Jewish Community Center on the 10th. Bring your boat along and join the party. It's right off 264 at Wichduck.
