Joulesbee,
I saw 2 done with the turbine engine. 1 was found on You tube, the other was on WWW.MHZUSA.COM in the video section. The 1 on you tube was in a miss bud hydroplane thing sounded nice, was fast too. The other was a deep vee on MHZ wasn't as fast I don't think they were really into the throttle, by the performance it looked like just a basic test run, a couple of laps. Where did you get the turbine and how much was it, if you don't mind me asking, maybe interestd for a hydroplane project. Tom

Check out a HPR Cat http://www.swissmodelpowerboatteam.ch/ I saw a video of a 92" Cat (2.33) with twin turbines run around...quite a video. I tried to find it quickly this morning, but ran out of time. I believe the same group of modelers built and ran an Unlimited Hydro with a Wren Turbine... Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Can anyone speak and read german? I have a site I'm Interested in and its in german.

dr drip

Need some suggestions.....I have the engines to make a single, a twin and a triple. The single and twins are the 26 zenoahs from warehouse hobbies, complete with clutch, tuned pipe and water cooled. I was thinking on using the aeromarine 50" and the 56" for the twins. I have yet to find a hull for the triple....any big ones out there, the triple is also 26 zen, only this will be air cooled and clutch. I would like some assistance on set up....is the 30% rule in effect for these hulls....been quite a while since I built one. I have 6 struts and rudders, but am thinking for the single and twin, to use kanellos drive c-rotating on the twin.......any sugestions????

dr drip, if you look on page 4, 3/4 way down look for Apache57stryker43 post. I had the same question, and he answered it great for me, i am waiting for my engines to come. if you scroll through page 4 I have the black Apache its 84" custom paint. Boat was purchased through Bonzi. But try to find it through someone else I am not happy with the company. Also if your looking to go bigger www.MHZUSA.com has a 96" Fountain. That should be big enough for the triple. That will proably be my next boat, I want to do twin 70cc from Quickdraw. Tom

Wet-N-Wild

studdy, thanks I will try that and see what happens you should see the drives on this site very nice. Tom

Can anybody tell me where to get a shaft like this one?

nieto1124

My Feedback: (14)

That parts on that shaft are from the "grainer" or "Macmaster" catalogs. its custom built. dont think you really want it anyways. they look pretty but the u-joints cant handle the rpms. [&o]

My Feedback: (3)

The joints did ok with the RPM - it was the 14 horses that got to be a little much It lasted longer than I predicted - but not much longer.

The uni's and slip joint came from - http://www.sdp-si.com and ran around $65. Lasted Phil around 10 minutes of gentle running.

Then she went to a flex cable

Wet-N-Wild

Thanks it just looked like it could handle power instead of the flex. Just looking for strength. thanks again. Tom

Well i worked on the Apache Warpath to dress up the inside of the hull. I used Duplicolor's truck bed coating that you can buy in a spray can. It works really well and it looks sweet. Here are some pictures.

very nice JT. Hey , any truth to the rumor that your going to build a bigger boat?

Dreamin Hemi

How did you get such great shots?

Wet-N-Wild

It look s great, nice and clean. good job!

apache57stryker43

I thought about building a bigger one, 70'' expresscraft with a bit more power but i am going to hold on to my 56'' Aeromarine for now. I still have to reach my goal of 60mph with it. Thanks for the kind word's guys. Keep the Apache's comming!

What engine do you have in the boat now? any mods done to it?

apache57stryker43

Tom,
its the newest 35cc Quickdraw that has the steel crank and is in stock form. So far the boat has ran a best speed of 57.1 or 57.2, cant remember. Some prop changes, carb adjustments and the right water and it should be in the 60's.

JT

Wet-N-Wild

Nice, I am looking to get 2 of them for my boat. hop I can get the same speed or a little more from my set up.

apache57stryker43

Tom,
you going to buy two 35's or a 70cc inline going into a 1 to 2 gearbox?

JT

Wet-N-Wild

I am going to buy 2 35cc engines they are going to each own drive. Here is my boat.
