um i don't understand what your saying there but i know of a guy that does CNC modded zenoahs that could do what you want, but its not really all the motor that gets you there, its hull and prop etc. ive seen some people that may only reach 70mph with their boat but others with the same boat and engine reaching 90mph
Whom are you referring to there bout the CNC work Jacob?? Just curious

I wish Mart, too busy with the new job. Sitting in a hotel in Far North Queensland at the moment (past few weeks), keen to get home. Too many projects very near completion, unfortunately no new engines though. New job has me all over the world these days, good fun but very tiring

No probs, at all mate You have a great xmas too. I just gotta make it back in time or the kids will disown me lol. S Bends, no comments really, did it on a roundnose once, worked really really well, haven't done it on others and they worked really really well too. Never done a correct comparison.

That said there are always those whom swear by one way is better than another, what works for soem doesn't work for others. The way I see it is no matter how you build something, someone will always say it is wrong (and they have probably never tried it themself, of have little to no experience in things anyway). I say give it a try, if it works great, if not, change it out...................easy done. Nothing in this world is impossible

Even you keep saying 100 times the S bend is the best tube to run but you know what, your boat looked like it went in the high 40's or low 50's, it deos not make me believe that you have the best tube in it. again, I welcome anyone to show me the real proof and not just talk.

As someone said it before, this is a pointless thing, lets just do our own way and see them in the next video show off.

To avoid further confusion, CNC as posted in this thread refers not to a company name but to a computer controlled process known as "Computer Numerical Control". This process uses computers to guide a lathe or router to do precision cutting.

This is my rigger plan from the builder, it tells everything about the set up and the stuffing tube shape.

I'd call it one slight/gradual bend tube.
