Triton Power!!!

[Eyekandyboats]

Mine will be fast. I plan on Neu power as well. i want a 1527. nice lots of KV and long can to turn a even bigger wheel!

How long did it take for you to make that ?[/QUOTE]

I guess about two evenings.

I make my own gear whenever possible as to me this is the most enjoyable part of the hobby - making stuff.

The 'stinger' is simply a piece of stainless tubing with a triangular bracket welded to it, and two pieces of alloy angle for mounting brackets.
The mounting holes in the bracket are oversize to allow a small amount of adjustment.

The rudder standoff mount was a bit more involved as it is from a piece of T section alloy cut out by hand with my trusty hacksaw to a tapered profile, and more angle alloy for mounting brackets.
It's very light but I think I will drill some lightening holes in it just to make it look cool.

It's amazing what you can do with a hacksaw, drill and hand files. Just takes time.

it looks nice. But i think my boats butt looks hotter!
when are you going to put on you trim tabs and fins ?

[Ctonez]

...as promised, I took a few pics last night!
(see the "Behold!!!My Big Johnson!!!" thread)

here's my Triton's fine booty :

[G Doggett]

OK, so my Tritons butt is a bit bare without trim tabs and turn fins ( how embarrassing ).
What brand of adjustable tabs are you guys using, I might take the easy option and buy some rather than make my own.

My trims came on the hull when I bought the boat...I think they're Fuller's though. I don't know if he offers the carbon fiber version anymore, but the metal ones work as well.

[Darin Jordan]

The metal ones have some advantages that I'll discuss with you Corey when we are at the lake next spring... I think they'll be helpful in getting your P-Mono dialed...

[Eyekandyboats]

Yeah the metal ones are great, you can put a curve in them or bend the outer corner for different desired effects

Yup...I was thinking that too. I can't wait to run some boats again. I have the FE fever...real bad .

You got it Taylor! :D

see i do more then just look good!

Just bought a pair of Speedmaster Trim Tabs ( 2 1/4 x 1 3/4 ) which I have installed on its now not so bare butt.
Is there a prefered shape for the turn fins, I see some are curved back while others are straight down ?
I presume they shouldn't be too long so that most of the blade lifts out of the water on the straights.
