remember when you made your first ark....neutral being your best friend ..meaning don't try to over power motion of your boat, if you loose track of what you and the boat want to do a lot of times it's just best to put her in neutral and re-group.....I was keeping in mind the Owner was new to the handling of this type of boat...not all of us was around when the USS Merrimack was re-fitted in to the CSS Virginia..... :roll: just saying...

Watch that granpa remarks, cause Paul and I represent that lovable word. :P Got my oldest grandson here as I type this, maybe I will bring him next year and point out the difference between real nice boats and not so nice boats! He is a quick learner! Or I will just bring his brother to terrorize certain people!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
