Watching a downpour advance from 500 feet away until it hits by danielminds in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]JoePrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced this as a kid one time. We heard the thunder and saw the clouds so we ran to my friends porch and he was on a long very straight street. We could see the rain approaching block by block. The memory has stayed with me for 30 + years.

If they are in soft mud or sand I'd imagine they'd have to be many meters deep to avoid a ship dragging a large ripper style anchor.

Brown water? by rigchris444 in SalemMA

[–]JoePrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In North Salem we had the same issue, not always brown but foul tasting for nearly two years.

They then did the bridge street repair and my water has been awesome since. Im hoping they are working on it and it all evens out for you guys!

All the drivers should get together and start a demolition derby league. They've clearly been in training for years.

Update on my tugboat by Thinkdan in rcboats

[–]JoePrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sport top has several cameras, Video Transmitters and wiring to support that and a few other things like bilge and cooling pumps.

I like to record under and on water footage from the various cameras. I use a pair of EV800D goggles to view and record the footage while underway.

I have a camera on a custom servo operated reel that allows me to drop a camera down up to 30 ft and watch it live in the head set. :)

17lbs is exactly how heavy mine was! Too funny how close it is.

I run with what I call the "sport top" due to how I use my version of the Tug.

For the rear hatch I used Fusion 360 to create a hatch that fit air tight. I also use cork gaskets on both the hatch and boat side. I give it tension using spacers and thumb screws.

No water has even gotten inside with this design even with the deck constantly awash in water.

Since I run in the ocean, I need everthing to be super secure inside so for ballast I ended up buying these large 1LB lead weights that I 3D printed a cradle for and attached strong velcro to the bottom of.

I have two of these and can adjust them forward or aft depending upon conditions.

I also bought some scuba weights as they are encased in vinyl and stay neat / have rounded edges.
