72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

Hi Guys
I have been watching videos of this boat and looking at all the cool photo's. I am working on plans to build myself one. it will be a twin 25cc rcmk's. will be a fun boat to build and run. stay tuned. Craig

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

If you dont mind i have a few questions. I sent pictures of that boat myself to 2 builders in the US to try to pursuade them to build the hull,but they didnt really like the hull.[:o] I fell in love with that boat when they first put it on the race circuit!:D My questions are 1) Will you be building a mold? 2) If so are you willing to sell a hull?

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

Hello Sir
I am just building a boat for myself. to do a mold would require permission from the Mystic boat Company. who I am sure would want a small fortune for the rites to do that. she is a very cool Vee hull. from what my friend in Holland told me step vee hulls do not turn well at all. this is why they do not want to build it. but I am. she will be a Beaut! think of all the cool paint jobs you could put on it. or air scoops?? you could really change it up. I am working on the hydro for now. so this build log will be slow for now. keep watching. once I get going she will take shape pretty fast. Craig

@ cconeill: sideview shows that cockit height is too much

Hi Matho
thanks for looking it over. it is nice to get more eye's on this to help get it as close to the real one as I can. working off of photo's is not the best way to draw plans?

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

hello Boss429 what do you think of my plans so far? craig

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

I made some changes. it is looking better. frames line up better as well. I will work out the bugs slow but sure.:))

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

Hi Guy's
I received my hardware from HOR Racing. it is a perfect match to my plans. the parts are very nice. looking forward to this build. Craig

Hi Guys
I am looking for 3 or four bladed props left and right hand. Bonzi sports has some, but I am not finding much else. also I need a 1/4 right hand twist flexshaft with a stub shaft on it. you would think this would be easy to find? could use some help. Thanks Craig

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee

Great facebook link .There are some awesome photos Thanks

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

Hi Craig look forward to seeing how your build comes along mate.One thing i noticed is your rudder,i have the same one here ready to put on one of the 47" hulls im going to be producing for electric setups,its only 150 mm long actual blade is only 125 so i dont think its long enough for your 72" hull.Your right though its a great bit of kit,identical to the German stuff at a fratcion of the price.

Hi Guys
this is not pretty. but I gain an inch and WATERCOOLING!! I may order a different blade. hor rudders can be modified:)))

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

Sorry to hijack your thread....

Can some one tell me the blade length of HOR rudder please?
I looking for a new rudder for my ct03, the old rudder is 150mm long so I wondering if this HOR rudder would fit .
mmmm got me thinking
Thanks Peter

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

hey guys we have hor products here in fla, same prices as hor site but shipped from us in fla. that scale rudder is only 50.00 its awesome, we just came out with our new c-68as well

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

Hi Wetsleeves
the hor blade is 5 inches long. the speedmaster blade I stuck in was just under 6 inches. I am talking to johnny about making a longer blade. I need a 7 inch blade for the lucas oil. lets see what happens. Craig

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

Peter.
You can try [link=http://www.hobbysupplies.com.au/Topsecret%20Boats.htm]HERE[/link] Good guys to deal with. Rudders about 1/2 way down

Cheers

RE: 72 inch 77 lucas oil vee
 

Thanks for the reply Craig. Looks like I might just buy my self a scale rudder.

Ghost thanks for the link, Ive purchased from them in the past.

Cheers Peter

Yeah, I'm not trying to steal any ideas, I love the scale and look though. it'd be a perfect addition to my fleet. Good luck on yours and when you are ready to share the bulkhead plans, please let me know. Thanks- I'm glued to this build.
