   Almost 10 months after the Original incident, I finally got out last night for the first cruise post repairs.... SHE FLIES!!!! I've never felt it run this strong before.. The launch struggles posted here are completely gone (most likely caused by my damaged carb.) There's still some things to tidy up but for now it seems the boat is back in action.

Sorry for the poor quality photo its a screenshot of a video

The shaft alignment basically took all day last Sunday. EXTREMELY tedious process constantly checking and adjusting and checking and adjusting, but I finally got it.

NEW:
Carb
ACME 540
Tune up kit

Special thanks 
Kevin - Hollywood, for dropping off new spark plugs
Rob - Jonny Quest, for the great deal on a basically new carb

	The smile on your face at her first run must have been priceless I guess
