[Rumdog]

Is it just the angle of the pics, or is it a very shallow vee?

Edit: Looks a lot less shallow in the 3rd pic

[towmissel]

You are right it is shallow. We will using 4074 motors room is tight, but vary do able....as soon as they come back from paint....I will post all the build pictures from end to end and a run video. The side to side CG will be vary low that's good.

Does Ivan have a web site ?

Manny

[towmissel]

benchmarkstudio@cox.net this is his Email that's all I have

[ron1950]

Without a cockpit or open cockpit it won't be exactly legel foe offshore will it? Just a hump with a black windshield would be cool

[towmissel]

I got the boat for heat racing....Ivan will build anything you want the man is a master you know that.....his thunder boats are works of art....and after I had to take bolt cutters and get one of his gas monos out fo a chain link fence...that it hit WOT...and the boat with a little hatch tape could have run the next heat ...I was sold right there I had to have one.101132101133101134

[ron1950]

ivan is such a master i would bet he could build anything....always have to admire his homemade wood trailer lol

[ray schrauwen]

Can't wait to here and or see how she runs. Nice work but, the shallow vee has me wondering how it will handle.

[ron1950]

waiting on the video myself ray.....
keven what motor and prop ya going to start with?

[towmissel]

To start with a Leopard 4074 2000 KV and a Jesse Lee x648101964

[ron1950]

wow thats a lot of prop to start off with...but i am sure u know what to do ....just for grins id start with a m445 but jmho,

[towmissel]

The drive (stinger) is high on the transom to push the nose down only 1/2 the blade in the water no tounge in the prop any how :buttrock::buttrock::buttrock::buttrock:

[ron1950]

so when is the water testing and video?

[towmissel]

Still waiting on some parts from over the big water (green parts are hard to find ) it will be soon. I will be starting on the red one this week.

[ray schrauwen]

just watching.... :cool2:

[ron1950]

Lol your too much....color coded parts !!!!!!! How did you ever find green parts

[towmissel]

Going green was the idea as the sticker says.....hard to find green parts and I can't find colored boots any place.

[towmissel]

The red one a vary nice looking boat.

[ray schrauwen]

All good. Ed Hughey was/is a master wood boat builder, prop guage maker, Flex shaft maker and hardware manufacturer. He is quite old now but, still around making flex cables for people. I may dig up some old photos and scan them to show you who he is. Photos are about 10 years old...


Is that good or bad LOL

[towmissel]

I looked him up and he was one of the pioneers of the sport. I like the statement but I'm no where close to the caliber of him. But the boats are coming out nice I think.

[ray schrauwen]

Wood boats are always beautiful. His were and yours aren't far off... Just get that thing in the water!

102519102520102521102522

getting there

[ron1950]

[towmissel]

This one is done

[towmissel]

103049103050

[ron1950]

wow never seen a p mono with all that weight in the back....

[ray schrauwen]

It's only 1P though so it's balanced fairly well.

[towmissel]

CG is 30% first test showed it was wet but in race water that's not a bad thing. CG was 33% on first test if it is lose now that can be fixed with strut movement. I will get a test in this week and post a video and you all can tell me what ya think I know it's fast but I'm still playing with turn fins and stuff like that. I can;t ask for help because this is the first one there has been no R&D done :frusty: . So we will take it easy feel it out. :bash::bash::bash::flame42::flame42:

[ron1950]

anything new on this boat?

[towmissel]

Yes I'm sorry working with prop no vid yet looking vary good with a M445 so far maybe this week we will do some more testing and some vid
:buttrock::buttrock::buttrock::buttrock:

[ron1950]

ya I find that the m445 seems to be the prop that ends up on a lot of my boats also.....trying some abc props on my lsh right now....

[towmissel]
