78.671 mph p-mono

[mike martin]

well thought I would post some pics of my p-mono set the new p-mono record at saws last week this boat is amazingly sturdy at 78 mph its a 25.5 delta force with a new 1512 and castle creations hydra 240 this boat also holds the n-2 record at 68 mph.
I can't wait to run it in Q:o

[Mel279]

Got any video of it?

[line6]

Great job mike. Wish i made it up there for it. Anyone got any video of it. I seen it set the n-2 rec. in sept. and it was screaming i cant imagine another 10mph out off it. Very impressive :tiphat:

Way to go, Bro ! :rockon2:

[Bill-SOCAL]

Now put a 1521 in it and let's see how it can really go!!!!!!! It must have looked awesome, a boat that small, going that fast. Must have been something to see.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Mike you must have worked some magic to keep it on the water at that speed. Great job!!

[ozzie-crawl]

thats 10mph faster than i can legaly do on the motor way with my car:w00t:
i have a df25 copy but when steve gets some more in i will buy a real df 26 hull

[Raydee]

I am amazed that you can keep a 25" boat on the water at those speeds, good Job!

[Meniscus]

Congratulations, that's amazing speed! Plus the fact you pulled it off without mishap! I'm sure that many of us would be happy with 2/3 that speed LOL.

I have a question that may seem silly, but I'm not a mono guy. How come these DF hulls are capable of more speed than, let's say for instance a H&M No Step 2?

Is there a difference in hull design that I'm missing? Angles? Balance?

Thanks

As a final thought, I can't see the prop you're using with your setup ;) :laugh:
:sarcasm1:

I think ken got some video I,ll have to see if he will post it

[mike martin]

Balance Balance Balance and some good luck:thumbup1:

go up a prop and add some weight?

:sarcasm1:

there were plenty of mishaps please don,t think it was a easy task just look at the hatch it had some overnight fiberglass repair but persistence payed off in the end

the df hulls have nice aero dynamics but so do alot of outher boats I don,t know if it couldn,t be done with with a H&M no step 2 with the right setup and balance

prop I think was a ABC 1818 I'll have to check my notes

[Flying Scotsman]

That is an amazing speed for that hull. The water must have been like glass. Congratulations

[tth]

That is great speed Mike, you're definately a pro. Congrats on your record.

[DISAR]

This speed with a mono hull of that size is not easy to achieve. Very nice!

[properchopper]

Thanks for reminding me; I have to bring my DF 33 P-Boat to the D 19 SAWS tomorrow; not to try to get close to those speeds; they like me to use the boat to chase the ducks away from the lights :doh:

no prob..I just wantd to see where the fron of your motor was in front of the transom.....i'm bullding a 25" copt right now...i set mine at about 5"....I think cog is about 8"

[blakybob]

I think that's the same boat you ran in Valdosta isn't it? That thing was rock solid every run. We were all absolutely amazed how well it was balanced. Nery nice work and congratulations!!!

that should be good I think mine is 4 1/2" but i had to add a little weight to the front

Blake

yea Blake this is an old thred they bumped up

I hear maybe May for the next saws I think with some new cells I can get her over 80mph

[blakybob]

Looking forward to next time. Hopefully third year's the charm for me. See you there!!!

Blake

ps. sorry for the typo...Very nice work....

[mickvk]

First, congrats Mike.

I'm trying to understand this section of the NAMBA rule book.

P ... Power Limits: 10.1 to 15 Volts nominal, any chemistry.
Maximum of 2 packs in parallel. Maximum capacity of 10,000
mAh

Does that mean P class competitors typically run two 7.4V 5000MAH packs in series? Thanks. -Mick

[Doug Smock]

You could two 2s 10,000ma packs in series, or two 4s 5000ma packs in parallel.
Hope that helps.

what Doug said

in NAMBA you have a 10'000 ma max
IMPBA has no ma rule
