STRUT
The strut can be tweaked to change the ride of the boat but only
experienced modelers should attempt this. If you are going to
tweak the strut, remove the prop shaft and prop. Loosen the
strut bolt. Move or adjust the strut, taking care not to lose the
alignment of the driveshaft to the motor coupler. If needed,
you might have to re-bend this area to regain alignment.

MISS SEATTLE HYDROPLANE RACING RULES
Boats must remain stock. Only hardware adjustments are
allowed. Sharpening and scuffing are legal, but changing
a prop is not. You are also allowed to paint or add decals if
you choose.
A heat race is 6 laps and typically consists of up to 6 boats
per heat. You can run as many heats per event as you like,
but 3 to 5 is typical.
To start a race, set a timer to 30 seconds. Launch the boats
and make one full clockwise lap. At the end of the lap, you
need to be on the right side of the start line and going full
speed. Being over the start line at the end of the 30 seconds
puts you in last place. Be careful not to “jump the start.”
Cutting inside a buoy AT ANY TIME will incur a 50 point
penalty per buoy.
Points structure goes like this.
1
st
place (per heat) 400 pts
2 nd place 300 pts
3
rd
place 225 pts
4 th place 169 pts
5
th
place 125 pts
6 th place 96 pts
In five rounds you have the potential to acquire up to 2,000 pts.
Good luck and good racing. Remember to place
