I know that Tony from WHH is one of many who scribes numbers on the side of the case. I think you will have better luck if you can upload some pics...

M&D Design motors are top notch. They hold many records.

As the Dyno sheet shows, 5.8hp@18000rpm, I like this number, good motor man, What boat are you going to put it in?

5.8hp @ 18,000?? I like the 6.6hp @ 15,500. This motor is a torque monster! Not sure what it's going in yet. So many boats! So many boats! HAHA! Something light with a BIG prop I suppose. No rush, I have all winter and other boats to keep me busy. Brian

Yes, I like the high band horse power, if my mod 260 has a 7 or 8hp@18000rpm of the output, I said if, I think I can use it to spin a 9" cupped prop for my rigger to get more speed.

The AC Razor is a faster hull than the Lazor. Already have a Razor, check out my gallery. I currently have 2 AC hulls in my collection, both very fast - and both well built hulls. Don't know much about the Hurricane cept their being built at RC Boatworks these days as are many other hulls out there. I have a friend in Oklahoma that got a bad Hurricane hull he hed to return. It had about 2 extra gallons of resin inside the hull. It weighed a ton! Brian

Only 2 Brian? The R42 makes 4 for me! But then I never like to sell them, just too hard to part with.

Well Mike, It would have been 3 AC hulls for me but I sold my 4 year old Blast Cat to Paul M in March of this year. It was hard for me to sell it too but I needed the wall space. That boat won first place in the District 20 finals last year. My R42 spanked everyone in every race and took me to first place overall in Gas Cat this year. The Razor won all 3 races in the last race of the year in Open Mono. Thats only because I just finished building it. Next year ought to be interesting. One of my boating buddies was so impressed with my Razor he had me set him up with one for himself.[X(] ALways good to hear from you Mike! Say hi to Johno if you see him, will you? Brian

Are you going by actual facts or just hear say??? A/C boats are made like a tank!!! I have know people including myself that have run the same A/C hull for 3-4 years in real world heat racing. I am not gonna say that you can tear up a Lazer hull, but it will take a great beating before submitting. Hurricane boats have been made by 2 different companys over the years. They are now built by RC Boatworks, they do excellant work and also build the Whiplash GV for Blazer Marine. Before they took on building the Hurricane Aeromarine Laminates were building the hulls. I like Aeromarine's boats and actually own a few, but all of mine were ordered with extra glass in the decks and gunnels (sides) because of the fact that there boats ARE made weak and prone to getting distroyed in a impact.

Please research facts before slamming someone who builds great products,

JC

John, You gotta lighten up! LOL (just a wee bit) Some people JUST DON'T KNOW that AC hulls are purposly built to take a beating! Andy builds them as tough as he thinks they need to be, then he sends a prototype hull to ACLazer (aka Dom Mauro) in Ohio to test. Dom takes the hull and builds the boat, then he tries to break it! If it breaks, the reason why is fixed and the end result is the bulletproof hulls that we get! Until you've owned one, all you can do is watch your own hull crack and fall apart while the AC hull keeps on kicking your butt year after year! HAHAHA!

Mart! Hey bud! I have the M+D Cast motor in the R42. The Razor has the engine out of the ole Blast Cat in it. I sent the motor back to Matthew at M+D and he worked his majic on it. It's a monster engine now! Brian

Once you try a M&D Mart you will be hooked! I have 3 so far and all have been real goers. My Cast motor is in my Lazer, 260 in my R42 and the old 2 port sits on the shelve, might find it's home in the Wildthing one day, just too good to sell.
