I don't think I'll resort to an ad, and I just heard from a guy with kids that lives a couple streets away who is looking for rides. Annoying part is that last summer, a couple times I setup a couple people to come, then they cancelled last minute. Aargh.

At least they didn't come for a free ride, trash your boat, not help wipe it down, etc...

I need to get speed set figured out. I didn't think it could be that complicated but it doesn't seem to work that hot for me.

Do you have a display with set speed on it?

My kids would love to drive the boat. But rangers may not appreciate a couple of 8-year olds driving on the water.

I will have to see but I think my wife would stand there or sit right nect to them, she just hates to run the controls. 14 and 12 are a little older but the rangers may not like it.

Do you have a display with set speed on it?

It's a little 3x3, I think, screen. It seems that I set it and I had read on here to drop the throttle all the way down. But is seems that the speed doesn't stay it wanders. Probably operator error.

With my SpeedSet (it does display set speed), I turn on the toggle switch, set the speed to desired, push the center button, then accelerate. It will begin to back off the throttle as it approaches the set speed, then I just push the throttle knob all the way down.

Luckily, I haven't had the issue that a lot of the 2009 owners have with it dropping out.

[dingleberry]

The other option is to accelerate to desired speed, then push the center button. After that, push the throttle all the way.

One time, I was pissed because I couldn't get SpeedSet to work. I was all upset and cursing.

After I got home, I realized that I had never turned it on with the toggle switch.

Amazing - even Gadhafi looks like he is done. Major officials quitting, speaking out, etc. Sounds like big portions of the army have stopped following orders to attack the demonstrators. Sounds like he will be gone soon.

Dingle, I can't recall if you are involved in scouts?

my boys just started...not sure if they will take it seriously yet

We are going on a winter camp out this weekend. I have a father that is going to take his 10 year old Webelo. He is planning on taking his 8 year old as well.

What are your thoughts if he should bring his 8 year old? I know my thought but was curious what others thought. I can not find any information one way or the other.

[dingleberry]

I don't know. If he is the only one bringing a younger child, I would probably try to discourage it. If it is fairly common with that group, then it may be tough to convince him.

[skippabcool]

He is the only one that has a younger child. In the past parents have brought younger kids, it seems to be a good time to bond.

I enjoy scouts but some of the crap that goes with it can drive you nuts.
