School me on 55" Twin Cats

Killer deal man!
I wonder if the 46" Tsumani Pro and the 49" X-Hydro would be very competitive?
not bad prices if they have some speed behind them

* UPDATE *

I was told asking for a use IV bag was disgusting against disposal regulations as they are technically considered medical waste. They are also exposed to some potentially nasty microbiological organisms... Lol.. Guess I'll buy a new one.

I've been looking for them and coming up dry, I tried eBay, but the best I found was vinyl and polypropolyne drain bags and I don't think they will withstand fuel exposure. Wouldn't want a blob of melted fuel soaked goo in the hull. EEW.

Any link appreciated. Should be able to find them shipped, cheap I would think.

Haha, all good, I wash them out with petrol..

The hull is nice, well laid out and solid, but the decals are kinda cheezy up close and a couple of them were wrinkled. Not a big deal, but I'd keep expectations low until you see one first hand. The glasswork is good, but needed re-enforcement along the wood rails. The wood was unfinished, but no problem to polycoat.

If I were paying sticker price for this hull only, I would have been quite satisfied.

If you order a hull, tell him to make sure to add bubble wrap on the hatch!

Awesome, thanks..
I'm thinking of getting a RTR from them and see how it could do against Robert at NAMBA 20

Got the bags coming. Ordered a spare, only 3.50 each. Cool.

I'm having a hell of a time with the gasser today. I have blisters on my hand from hard starting and stalling today.

It started about 1/4 tank into this mornings run, it just stalled. Mid throttle turning and stalled.

Got it back in and no start. Pulled the plug and it was oil wet. So I torched it, pulled it through a few times and it started but stalled in a second or two. Repeated this process about two dozen times, until I just had to walk away.

Came back to it a few hours later and it fired right up. Took it out to the water and tried some adjustment to the H mix. Couldn't get it to take full throttle. Kept bogging down. Played with the mix some more, it felt strong and then just stalled out and done for the day.

2 smokers are so frustrating!

It's all rinsed out and oiled down. It's going to sit for a day or two. I think I fouled out the plug running it too rich. I don't recognize the numbers on the plug: HIX CMR5 http://www.gasgoo.com/auto-parts-tra...ug-H-CMR5.html

Still looking for a cross reference.

do you know what your carb settings are?

1.25 out L
1.5 out H

It won't even rev at 2 out H

There's nothing in the manual about lean or rich, so not sure which way to go.

Yep. I'm so there. In due time.

I really want to get some use out of the gas first though. It was running great until I started messing with the mix.

Got it. Time to call some local parts stores tomorrow. I'm sure there's a lawn & garden shop somewhere with one.

Thanks for the parts check!

No sweat. We should hook up and run some boats. I ran gassers a loooong time. Never raced, just sport boating. Heres whats left of the collection

I would start back at the 1.25L and 1.5H
and then start to lean out the H needle a little at a time, like 1/8th of a turn
to rich and it will just flood out

[FighterCat57]

Yeah, for sure! Next time you're in Daytona.

PVC rules the boating world. Seriously.

I'm going to let the Big Cat sleep for a few days and finish tuning the KOS-POS.
