50" Hydro Build

[Make-a-Wake]

Yep i have a cooling jacket, its earlier in the thread, made it myself and it works just fine and no leaks at all. Man, i gotta get a new prop but im torn here.........i think the 6717 may be too much pitch.............i think i need a 6716 or 6815 something in that range.............not even sure if they are made in that size..................im even looking at an octura 470/3...........

I know im pulling close to 200 amps, so i cant go gonzo on the pitch..............i need a medium lifter.

200amps just blows me away

200amps just blows me away

Why brushless?
Wake do they make a 1467? an octura 1667 would be close to your 6716. Its definately a lifter prop. what your angle ? 0 degrees?I believe you have a hog setup and yes I agree that steve is selling about the best HV high current esc you can get for the money.

the big neus and that castle seem to be our best bet at going up against the other countries high high power setups. I like it wake I like it 200 amp continuous rules Im a little dissapointed in what the US offers in high power esc's. How does the 2028 run with the castle HV 240?

I just hit the "buy now" button!

Prop is ordered.....................

Total, i think the 240hv and the 2028 are a great match..........

Why brushless?

Just lots of amps!

I forgot to mention the prop i got is a 6516..........i talked to Chris(Dasboata) on the phone a couple minutes ago and he told me i needed stainless so he's sending a stainless 6516.........he thinks it will do well and unload the motor for max rpms.

On a side note, i ran some other boats yesterday with some RC buddies, and Stringfly took a few shots of my Pursuit in the chop.......he got some big air with his too!

Thought i'd share the pics of mine..............i think they're cool.

They look better if you click on 'em and enlarge them.

you will like the 6516 and you should see the dif, the blade on that prop and the one on the 2028 are like night and day different. now we just need the vid

Got something in the mail..............!!

Chris sure is a quick shipper, and on the phone with him a few nites ago he told me several times that his reputation as a skilled propman as well as a very fast shipper were his biggest concerns.

The SBP 6516 is almost a thing of Beauty polished to such a shine, kinda hate to stick it in the water..........

I lowered the strut 3mm and will have a run tomorrow with the 6516!!

I lowered the strut 3mm as well(down away from the hull botton), that will give a bit more lift as well.....right? I need to get it riding even up on plane, it rides with the rear down more than it should from what i have heard.

[Make-a-Wake]

Holy smokes!!

This beast is gonna hit 70 with this 3 blade once i get her all setup.

Lowered the strut and maybe shouldnt have since i threw the new three blade on, one adjustment at a time and i know better

Anyways..........tough getting on plane but once there the motor is screaming, whole different sound to it, its revving out now, but it is "hopping", need some input please.

Hit 56mph at 3/4 throttle max...............The sound is SO different compared to the last vid..............listen for yourself, its a "scream" now.

Setup help now needed with the 3 blade, thinking of moving the strut back to original position.

[Brushless55]

YES!

Really hydros need to hit the water running,in other words launch with the prop spinning this gets em on plane imediateley.Try her with the strut in the orriginal position first see how she runs then and adjust from there would be my suggestion.Launch with the prop spinning enough so when she hits she takes off rather than bogging down.Looks like its going to be very fast for sure.
