Just an update on my new Arrow hulls,a friend took his for its maiden today with a 29 cc modded zen and on its first outing it was gpsd at 65.6 mph.Not bad for a first run .Hopefully he will get some video of his second test run,cant wait to see how she goes when he gets her dialed in with a fast prop [X(].

ps forgot to mention the motor is brand new not even run in yet lol.

My Feedback: (1)

Here's a very short clip of it shot on my mobile, this was the first run and had a bit a adjustment before it was clocked at 65.6mph.
The motor is a Zenoah 29 top end ported by me, on an RCMK bottom end with a 1mm RCMK stroker crank.
The prop was an ABC 2816/2.

Very impressive congrats on an awesome build

Thanks Daz,have to say that Lee and Eddie and Tony the boats owner take all the credit for getting her to that sort of speed top job lads makes my job worthwhile.

Very nice. Looks like it has great throttle response as well.

The bare hull weighed in at arround 7 1/2-8lb,thats the weight im shooting for on them and seems like a good balance between lightness and strength.Im not 100% with the deck though and might be changing a cpl of things to stiffen it up more because id rather not install a bulkhead.At the moment im using coremat to help stiffness,carbon works too but more expensive lol.The hull has lots of potential thats for sure,another friend will be racing one soon so we will see how she does.

Hi guys thought id post a few pics and video of a budget electric build on one of my Navaho hulls from a friend in Finland ,yea i know its the gas forum but thought you guys might be interested lol.
Twin t600 turnigy 880 kv outrunners running on 6s lipos,57 mm cr plastic props for first run and heres the vid of its maiden run,plenty left to come i reckon.Not bad for a budget setup using $30 outrunners lol.

New colour added to the list,heres a cpl of pics of a new deck and hatch sat on another white apache just to show the colour off,its going on a new hull tomorrow for a customer.Let me know what you guys think.
The colour is Magenta .

This hull really needs a twin with a spiltter gearbox (no overdrive).
We have assembled a few here on the continent and all of them (we used MHZ or Aeromarine 56" Apaches) performed with those setups very well, CG must be set to 29%, props pairs we used have been from propshop 7016/3 up to 7018/4 and a pir of 7020/3 (made by dasboata out of 7018/3), I think a really good engine can handle 5-bladers as well.
Due to the chine angle of 20...22 degrees a good centerdistance of the 2 drives would be 72...73mm.
Experiences with my own twin.
I do not know how the RCMK twin performs power, maybe similar if modified.

martno1fan

Most guys running my hull are using the single 29 -30 cc zenoahs and are in the mid to high 50s,fastest so far was 59 mph,compairable to a twin setup speed wise i would think with much less weight.I would also like to personally build one with the inline rcmk but im a little busy building the hulls at the moment.I think when i build the 70 version that will be the one to try the tiwns in as theres more room to work .

MATHO

70" needs a 3-cylinder.....

martno1fan

Really? i dont think its necesary the 58" doesnt need twins they bloody fly with a single 29 .I think twin 29 cc motors or an inline twin will push the 70" hull very well.

The less it weights the boat the less power you need so : no clutches,no pumps,no strange fuel tanks.
If it possible a cut down version ( only an inch ) should be some mph faster....oh..and a good stainless pipe.
German "style" gas boats are beautiful, in scale, well built but often too heavy !
To go fast you need a strong motor, a light weight boat and a good set up

martno1fan

Exactly .
By the way my Apaches are 4 1/2" from chine to top of deck ,sleaker = faster.The bare hull weighs 9 1/2 -10 1/2 lb depending on layup.Lightest ive built one was 8 1/2Lb that was the electric one which is a glass x carbon layup with no rails.
