Raj,

It looks FAN FRICKEN TASTIC!!!! And it also looks to be a great riding hull, the attitude in the water looks about spot on.

Where do those little billet "fuel fills" come from? (the thru hull variety) any web links? Thanks!

Brett, thanks. This boat does not have the filler that you are talking about. I think what you are seeing is one of the exhaust tips that exits out the side of the boat. As far as the fillers go, check with Justaddwata.

xxxboatworks. Where are you running?
At my top secret private testing facility (ok, it's actually the lake behind Warricks's hobby shop). I have a few good holes that I run at without being bothered. I really don't run boats anymore for fun. Most of my lake time is to test run a boat before shipping.

Nice boat....those decals or paintjob??\

i like hoe you hid the exhaust, gives it a nice scale look..

you say you drive in the lake behind warricks??? i go there now and then to get hobby supplies. hope im there when you testing out another boat, always wanted to see one of your creations running in person....

anyway, what setup you have in it?? what are the dimensions?? what kind of speeds are you getting out of it?

All paint...no decals. It has a inline zenoah with a single MH$ s6 drive. The hull is 65" long and it runs over 50.

i know this has probably been explained before somewhere 20 pages back on this forum, but, how do you make motors inline, and what kind of tunign would you need to do to get them to run the same???

I added some pics (to my first post above) of the inside while I was building it. I'll try to find some finished pics of the inside.

Raj,
Received the GTX Hull the other day
Awesome..
Can you give me some measurements for CG? Also how far down from the top of the transom to the top of the S6 Outdrive?
Or from the lip where the deck meets the bottom of the hull? Any pics of exhaust setup? Thanx, tom H.

Tom,
ok, I better get those exhaust pics out to you. The S6 drive should be mounted so the point of the "bullet" is about 1/8-1/16" above the bottom of the V. This will set it up as a surface drive. I'll take measurements from the top and get them out to you.

What a tub!! Even with an inline and all those pipes, still tons of room to spare
