Hello Steve.

Just to know the 482 works for my hull.
I test it today and first thing in the morning is video and photos.

P.S. From now I will call Mart.... Dr. Mart

I have on gps 45.6MPH that is ok for me....Maybe with another engine it will go better, so far im happy it works..... Thanks to your posts for your 54 and Mart post about hes own build.

martno1fan

Hey only too glad to help mate glad its working for yaa ,45mph is a good speed for a 6 ft mono ,a few tweaks a bit more tuning change the angle of prop etc might eek out a few more mph and get you near that magic 50 .Where did you get that motor any links?,id be interested in one myself for a big cat i might build in the future,i have plans for a 50" cat i can scale to 65" which should be big enough for it.

s2sinner

Well....for me is just good enough that speed..... after all is my first build....For sure i will make some test tomorrow all day long and after that I will make the hull polyester.

The funny thing is that you cant see the speed in that hull because is big is not jumping and and and. Im happy about beileve

Here is the link for the motor [link=http://www.xingyue.us/product_gd.php?id3=323]XINGYUE USA[/link] that is in USA if you want closer let me know I will send you the link of my local dealer.

Just to know the motor needs a few mods but is strong enough. Tomorrow I will send more details about RPMS with the 470 and the 482 and and and...


Sorry Steve that im using your area here but Mr Mart reply on my post

Hi all, Took the boat for another run today to try and sort the right hook problem. It went well, but still wants to hook right and alot of torque roll, I did manage to drive through the hook and roll for one run only and got a GPS reading of 75.7KPH (47.03MPH)

So you all ready for Sunday at Malaga? Are you going?

jacob711

so have you moved the driveline over to the right ?, maybe it needs to be moved over even more, so are you guys going to be at malaga on sunday, i will be there but without a boat [&o]because of a stupid broken engine mount[:@]

STEVE MARSHALL

Yea I will be there. Some one has to start your boat for ya.

Macleod

And launch it...... Maybe I could use your tug for retrieval...????

Jacob, just repair it. You got to race Steve...........

jacob711

i broke the rubber isolater too trying to unbolt it from my broken mount and i have no spares and i wont be able to get one by sunday

Macleod

What size is the isolator? Can you post photo of the broken one?

jacob711

STEVE MARSHALL

Sorry mate I haven't got any spares. RC boat bitz on e-bay don't show the the pink ones in there shop. you should have ordered them 2 weeks ago have a look at these ones. (half way down the page) under hardware.

thanks anyway steve, it wasnt till yesterday that i decided to pull the engine out to replace the cracked aluminium mount, the nut on the rubber thing was seized up so when i tried to loosen it i was holding the other end of the rubber and it split in half lol

Squidhead Racing

I carry two styles (not those ones in the pic though) that will probably do the trick just fine, if not be a little more durable.

I will measure them up this evening and email you mate

Malaga Sunday, just waiting to hear/and decide what time I am kicking off on Sunday. I will let you all know tomorrow arvo/evening when I know what is happening (it is dependant on another member and his rescue boat vs present work committments)

Steve, good work mate, she is getting quicker, coming along very nicely indeed.

Johno

jacob711

ok thanks johno

martno1fan

Not bad steve ,i still say remove the dbl rudders and go with single offset rudder,offset the drive and that should sort it,the hooking sounds like you could have a hook in the hull have you had a straight edge on it yet ?
