[JMSCARD]

Mine has a 2215 instead of the 1527 ..... Still need to actually run it... lol.... theres a thought....

BTW very nice build you have going there no question... cant wait to see it in action, as we just know you will video it for us !

Thanks Boaterguy

Gary I've seen your thread and that SS is flying! I hope I can get mine dialed in to run good even though I don't expect speeds like yours since its more for oval running and a 1.5D wind. I think mine is around 10 lbs with the 5000 6S2P, but I think the weight of yours is a good thing to keep it down with those speeds.

Jason, I really like the paint job on yours, did you paint it? And man you have to run it, I want to see a video with the 2215 in their, should be insane also.

haha... I know its gonna be run for sure... the paint is West Systems... and NO I didn't paint it... Sandy Allen did... "Cat-Boi" was his username... its pure utter perfection... in fact its so pretty thats why I hate the thought of running it... but I am gonna do it! In fact I just got the New 6s Packs for it yesterday... :)

Thanks for your comments Guys.
Sean, I'm building it for sport running since we go out to the pond with the guys to rip around and everyone has something different to run. And I think Peters Sniper would swamp it

I first saw this boat a few years ago on Raydee's You Tube video and loved the way it ran, so it's been one that I've always wanted to build and and run.

Ken

It will make a great running sport boat. 10 lbs is just right for the weight. High 50's to low 60's will be a perfect speed for fun and duration. My nitro version is running right around 60 and it seems like a handful at that speed.

Ken

I don't know Ken , that is going to be a very fast hull when you have it setup . I think the Punisher is due for a spanking......................

Jason I also love your paint scheme

Lol Peter, I might have to use a paddle from my rescue boat .

Jason, I'll be waiting for a video or post on your Run.

Sean, I'm glad to hear about those speeds that's where I'd like to see it run on ovals.

Just added some hatch locks. Tape will still be needed to seal it water tight but just did this for added security in case.

I used 2 brass thumb screw nuts and J/B welded a 6/32 brass screw in each one and 2 O rings to seal the holes on the hatch. The 90 degree carbon fiber pieces are cut from a hockey stick handle, then epoxied a piece of plywood to it that holds the blind nuts.

Update on my build.
Finally have the paint finished, it took a while to have it painted but the guy did a awesome job. The color is inferno orange same as the 2011 Camaro, because of all the angles on the boat the pearls and metallic really come through nicely. Now I'll wait for a few days until the clear is cured then can mask and paint the windshield and get the graphics off to the print shop.

[LarrysDrifter]

Beautiful boat! I have to get mine going. I'll be referencing this thread for your good ideas. Great job.

[Punisher 67]

That is absolutely beautiful Ken , awesome job and beautiful weed free grass also Ken I am jealous........................

[ksm2001]

Thanks guys for the comments. With all the rain we had in the past few weeks I thought the yard would be covered by water to run the boats on lol.

[Gary]

The boat looks great !!!! Cant wait for it to see the water.your going to love it !!!! I used to take my time making them look great aswell but after a few major crashes its just was not worth it any more. I just crashed it again at a best gps speed of 95mph and the rear transom cracked and broke open real good and took on water. It did land upside right so I got it back to shore real quick wich was good LOL. Thats the first time I saw the transom crack.......must have caught it just right.

[ksm2001]

Gary, thanks for the comment, 95mph is some crazy speeds and alot of force when things go wrong, did you get a video of it?

When I saw the paint on mine I felt like Jason (JMSCARD) and the comment that its so nice I hate the thought of running it. I'll run mine conservative but would like to see high 50's to 60 mph, but then again once I get used to it I will probably want to push it a bit more each time like most of us here.

[Gary]

Yea the boat comes in at 12lb 13oz so when she tumbles ...........she tumbles !!! I tell you what she gets some insane flight when lifting clean off the water LOL. Keep yours at 60-65 and its a dream to drive....you will love it !!! No there is no video. I have to get to the lake really, really early to beat the fisherman or other boaters because I need the whole lake and dead flat water so 5:30 am is not unusual which really sucks. No one getting up that early to video LOL. anyway I can run two sets of batteries through her. 18.5 volt 65-130c Thunder power, and have almost the same gps reading, 93-95 so its pretty consistent. I would love to do a SAW event soon when I get really consistent at the return run through my own wake.....Not to good at that yet.

Great work on the hatch locks!
