RE: Senior Project custom nitro drag boat
Just my opinion, it looks like a .18 will move it out just fine. With that hull design it's not going to want turn well with out a skeg, I would get the smallest center skeg you can get, within reason of course. and set it up like a mini crackerbox. There are a few companies out offering hardware suitable for small nitro's. I would get a srtut like what is used on a miss vegas, and run the stuffing tube out the bottom so you can run the prop submerged or semi submerged, the sv27 uses a stinger drive which wouldn't be suitable, will it work yes but I think in the long run you would get better performance out of the adjustable strut. hope this helps, keep everyone posted on the build
