I dont know if i can really start this but o well.

I recently recieved my cen wave shark arr from www.offshoreelectrics.com and am having a blast with it. it goes extremely fast stock 20+ mph. i can get about 5-7 minutes out of 7cell 1900 batts on the 775 motor. i am using 2 towerhobbies servos and a traxxas radio. everyone else on the lake loves it and wants one now. i measured the speed by running it alongside our 21' larson runabout. this thing gets a lot of air on the waves so i decided to jump our own wake and managed to flip it [X(] everything was ok though. not too much water got inside and everything still works. We are planning to take our trip to lake Shelbyville in illinois in a few weeks and im taking my wave shark with me. we live a block away from a private 600 acre lake (Spoon lake or Oak Run) it is also in illinois. so it was a sin not to own a rc boat.

that was my story so lets hear yours! Send in pics and tell what hopups you have installed and also give your opinions on the good/bad qualities of CEN EP Boats. here are a few pics of my wave shark without the rider. i will try to get a video of my boat up sometime next week.
thanks
John

How do you post pics? I upload them and then click "ok" but nothing happens.

click preview before you upload them to see if they are there

The Shark is the fastest of the Cen Hulls. Think its fast now put a 700bb turbo and 16cell and hold on!
Make sure to tape the hatch all the way around the rub rail. It makes flipping fun and less work drying everything off inside.

Also if your planning on jumping waves use Velcro tie down to hold the cells in. They will get loose.

I changed the title to Unofficial as it is not endorsed by RCU. No problem as I'd rather see all of the questions and comments in one place than scattered throughout the electric boat forum.

The Wave Shark is faster than the AquaJet? On your custom 700bb boats, how much faster is the Shark?

Pagemaster

When all the cen hulls are powered by a 700bb turbo, the wave shark is the fastest.

Haha, you're avoiding the real question! How much faster is it (when powered by the 700bb, same cell count)?

after the stock motor is shot i will buy your upgrade package for the wave shark. how long do the stock motors usually last anyway. i have about 10 runs on it so far

Not trying to avoid anything, its posted on my website. 2mph

wow theres about 10 other posts on this page about cen boats how come people wont post their questions in here

hellomynameisdookie

Because this is a thread, not a forum. If everyone keeps asking questions in here then it will be next to impossible to find any information through one huge long thread.

Ugh I hate these Tamiya connectors. They have gotten so bad that the power won't go through without putting pressure on them. I have finally warped them. I will have to switch to Dean Ultra before I get better pictures or video of my AJ.

Bombers_410

how long did the tamiya connecters last do they outlast the motor, how long does the 775 motor usually last?.

im going to shelbyville tomorrow. its a 40 mile long lake in southern illinois-so theres big boats and hugh waves.. im taking my waveshark and lots of batteries and chargers-o and the video camera so ill take a good wave jumping vid and post it up when i get back.

They will last you about 10 - 15 runs until you start seeing problems until they get so bad they won't even make a connection. But it depends how many cells you are running. You can feel when its time to replace them. They will loosen up and it becomes very easy to unplug them. I don't know how long a 775 lasts. I had to used it to replace the burnt motor in my starter box and now I use a 700. It should last you a couple years though.

Bombers_410

couple of years thats awesome. so like a few hundred runs but by then ill of gotten the 700 anyway. if the connecters go bad i will make them fit anyway that i can[:@]

Shelbyville was great. . . except for a few tubing injuries. but thats over now so here is a video of my wave shark 775--Im loving it!!!

Your boat can really fly! I wish I can make my boat to go that fast!![:@] Oh well. Great vid. Matt

Bombers_410

its stock... lol

Wave blaster

ya I know. I am just waiting for product support to e-mail about which motor will work in my boat. Because the stock motor for my boat is out till about mid -august.[:@] Just wondering if the Sundancer or the riptide motor will work. Matt

Bombers_410

try the 700 bb turbo from offshoreelectrics.com or the ss1 i think its called..

plus my boat was on 14 cells wich is way faster than 12

Wave blaster

I don't think my boat could handle a 700 motor. Plus it won't fit in my motor mount. I will maybe try a 600 though. Matt

Bombers_410

o what kiind of boat do you have?
