Hey Scott! Congrat's on the baby girl mate! You are now in our secret little dads club. Yes I have to agree the toys do stop for a while once the first bub is born but it's all good. What am I saying we are having our third child on the 25th July!
I hope you had fun at the Brisbane event, I just could not get the extra leave off work to get there. Might see you soon as I have to come and get my trailer from Artie's place.
Your build looks good though, it should go hard. I am still working on my 6s mono, one of Davos seducer things.
Cath up with you soon.

Thanks Tunda.
Shane, I didn't race on the weekend, but I dropped in for a while for a look. I heard you've got another on the way. Ours was due on July 21, but she had other ideas! Will catch up next time you're in town.
CHeers,

Hey Scott,
Good to catch up buddy! Looks nice and neat as per usual standards.
Glad to see someone is still supporting the local 'supplier'
Cheers

How did you buy this hull???Comment

"Flooded stuffing box is done. It's simply a piece of 9/16" brass for the outer tube and 1/4" brass for the inner tube. The two are sealed at the front with a piece of plywood epoxied in. This allows plenty of adjustment at the strut and good support for the shaft. The alignment of the flex shaft came out really nicely, so everything will run smooth.
An extra support was also added at the front of the stuffing box. The boat will be put aside overnight now, and I'll do some work on the electronics."
Is the extra support attached to the bottom of the boat?

Rumdog, I got it locally from fastelectrics.com, but Steve should be able to get them, or order direct from Delta Force. They've been around for about 6 months now.
Chenige, the extra support is shaped to match the floor, and epoxied in place. See pics below.

First test runs yesterday (finally!). Could only test on a smaller lake in the area, but signs are good. No GPS, but speed looked good, handling was good, temps only warm. But the real test will be in race water with other boats. That happens next Sunday....Comment

Raced her yesterday for the first time and managed 3 wins from 3 starts!! There was some luck involved along the way, but the speed and handling are right up there (against a few Neu/Schulze powered boats). It did hook a couple of times when turning at high speed in the chop, but so did a few of the other competitors. Very happy overall. The 1717 has plenty of power and the YGE speedy is nice and smooth. Temperatures were only midly warm for the motor and ESC, and warm for the cells (XPS 5,000 6S1P). Prop was a de-tongued X447/3.
Hopefully I will get my hands on some photos and video of the racing in the next few days.Comment

Hi,
I saw you put a link up of your build,
In the Boat hull choices post,
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Very nice boat you did up.
Do you have any videos of it running yet ?
Looking to build a Pirate 35 or Delta Force Sniper 45 for sport running some day.
