[Hor2012]

Hey what is the design??

Aquamarine makes the hull I believe it's the pro challenger hull

[Doby]

Have you run it yet, or are you quoting Fine with your claim?

[Hor2012]

Yea all weekend I just orderd some 5s batts I've been running on 9s this weekend and it's fast fdm rested the boat with 10s and it's gps clocked at 60mph

[Make-a-Wake]

Yep, challenger 48...................good lookin hull. What's the mojo..............5692?

[Hor2012]

Picked up 2 more boats all rtr this weekend from Chris fine. And started painting one So there is 3 now all from the FINE group love does guys always there to help

Just curious what fine powered your rigs with , Any chance of getting a closer look And what did he charge you for the boats . I don't want to come of like a dick but 60 mph is really not that hard to do .

This is the list of everything in the boat the prop has been upgraded to a octura 452 sharpen and balance. Deff goes more then 60mph. Running on 5s2p 5000 45c

[Punisher 67]

Is it 5s2p or 10s2p . 5s2p on a 900 kv motor and a x452 would need devine intervention to see those speeds.......LOL

[Hor2012]

I'm running 2 battarys 5s 5000 45c with the old prop it was gps at 61. With the new prop it pulls more amps but I didn't get it clocked yet

[Fluid]

Clearly the OP is running 10S1P. While the 52 mm prop is relatively small for a boat this size it certainly could reach the low 60s, particularly if the stinger is mounted low enough. Let's not dis the OP's boat just because the builder is not popular. If he's happy with the build - and he obviously is - that's what matters. I can't wait to see how the boats will look painted up!

I asked a legit question - 5s or 10s - and I am not dissing his boat regardless of builder . The LOL was added for the sakes of a bit of humor clearly . what only the great Jay can ask questions . Hor2012 I hope you didn't take any offence to the questions but I always run two banks of 10s in my boats that are that size ( 45 - 48 ) two 6s cell packs and two 4s cell packs . So you are only running one bank of 10s then or better put two 5s in series .

[Fluid]

Another one for the Ignore List.......

[Hor2012]

I'm running 5s in s with the 452 prop I clocked in today at 67mph

[tlandauer]

:thumbup1:Awesome!

Whatever...............:laugh:

Very nice speed - I was not aware Nemesis made a motor that large

Pete, the nemesis is a leopard that is re badged for fine design.

[Punisher 67]

Got it thank you............:tiphat:

[Rumdog]

Congrats on making the list..

[Punisher 67]

Proud member Rum - thanks for the club welcome.........:tiphat:

Sorry to hijack you thread hor2012...........:blush: . If you have a chance post a run video

[Doby]

We should start our own club....

[ozzie-crawl]

To join he needs to send me his DF sniper :lol:

Working on a twin cat but nearly went the largish mono route,not sure i made the right decision, the DF snipers look so nice.

[Pwb201]

Good luck with the boat, seems cool and I might one day get into v bottoms..
However I need to say this, fine design is a red flag, with false accusations on speeds and tips.sorry I had to speak out on him hope this doesn't piss any one off but the truth is the truth..

[Hor2012]

Proud member Rum - thanks for the club welcome.........:tiphat:

Sorry to hijack you thread hor2012...........:blush: . If you have a chance post a run video

I guess as long as you are happy with the boat, thats all that really matters...

PWB201--- the GPS doesn't lie, nor do the results of my testing and tuning. What is your comment based on? Did you purchase a boat from me? If so, is your speed off? Let's tango anytime. Again, GPS doesn't lie...... unless..... it's sour grapes cuz' you're tired of looking at the back of an FDM boat flying by? 30-plus years experience-- how bout you? Regards, Chris Fine

Relax old man. You own and operate a store so you should expect criticism. The way you handle business.

[Doug Smock]

Phillip, Chris, you guys need to settle it outside the forum please.
Exchange email addys, phone numbers, whatever, but this is going to go no where in a hurry here.:nono:

:focus:
Thank you sirs,
Doug

Well I have to say first and for most if the owner is happy than there is no problem. On the other hand I have seen a few of the boats Fine Design puts out and am not that impressed. 60MPH on 10S 48" hull nothing to brag about. I will not question the validity of the speed as it is 100% possible. I have 15 years of experience and run a 44" MHZ on twins that will do 80MPH of 5S per side all day long.

PS - it will out accelerate anything Fine Design has in that class as he very rarely does twin setups.

Setup if you are one of those i need to know people:

MHZ Mystic 44" Carbon/Kevlar
MHZ Rudder
MHZ Stingers
MHZ Hardware
SeaKing 180s V3
Leopard 4082 2200KV
L & R 450 3Blade Cleavers

GPS speed on 4S 5000mAh per motor - 60MPH
GPS speed on 5S 5000mAh per motor - 80MPH

Hor2012

would like to see some more close up photos of interior of hull and of transom to see hardware used. looks like it is running pretty good.

PS - the new paint job looks killer, are there going to be decals applied. would love to see a photo of finished hull.

[Punisher 67]

Yes I am curious on that also and at what price the total package was - Please don't take this request wrong as I understand a person has to factor in there time building a boat I am just curious what a package costs as opposed to someone doing it themselves .

Pwb201 I'm not sure why this needed to be said on this thread? The poster Hor2012 was only trying to show us his new boat. Not get a bashing about the company he bought it from. If you have a problem with Chris, he's a phone call away. you are also welcome to post your own thread about the boat you bought from Fine and the reasons you are so upset about it.

[Pwb201]

My apologies Steve, couldn't help my self this time. Won't happen again. FYI Steve I did try to call and work situation out with J O but was not successful. As are lots of people I meet on this forum and at races,but again I'll leave well enough alone. After all who needs a hobby store in no mans land when all I need is right here on this forum.if you'd like to hear my side I'd be glad to have a private convo and tell you the horror story I went through.

@ electriconly, I have that set up as well exactly and I dooooo believe I had it first ;)
