An update, http://speedonthewater.com/boat-rest...tponement.html.

The boat should be back on the water for testing early next week.

That's to bad, looking forward to hearing and seeing more about it and hope they put it on YouTube and not just facebook. Thanks for the info Matt.

Postponed again. No mechanical issues, just ran out of time thanks to other ongoing projects.

The plan is to go again tomorrow morning. Speedonthewater.com will report the moment we have anything.
