LOl,i run 2 of propshop props no probs at all.

[martno1fan]

The propshop props are butter knife sharp and are not properly sharp balanced etc you will need to do it yourself.Yes it says they are but trust me they are not.Ask dasboata he works these props and can get you anything you need from them and will do the work properly.Sure they will work as is from them but in no way do they come properly worked on dont waste your money unless you want to work on the props yourself.

Looking real good Jerry. Cant wait to see it run.

[HYDROJERRY]

Thanks Scott, its getting there!!!
New update,,,, i used two water nipples as water pickups because i had extras,, so i drilled a hole threw the bottum and screwed them threw the hull, then epoxied around them. Once they were dry i flipped the hull over and used a grinder and cut them almost flat but left just alittle lip on the backs of them to help catch the water.. I also cut a hole in the tail of the hull for some brass tubing, glued it in and put a baby rubber boot on the end and glued it for the rudder stick thingy to go threw and installed my esc's and some cooling tubing. Still gotta get my props and do my water outlets threw the hull then im ready.. Pics to follow!!!!

[HYDROJERRY]

Afew more!!!!

[tiqueman]

Jerry, just my opinion, and only because Ive tried it. Those pickups are going to do more harm than good. On slow boats, maybe under 20, great idea. But not for what your doing. Take them out and bend tubes like I taught you. They are going to cause drag and pull the nose down. I did almost the exact same thing on a SV27 and it killed its ride attitude and scrubbed a couple mph off the top end. I tried that, a Gundert, and then went with a bent tube. If nothing else, get yourself some of the aluminum flush mount thru hulls OSE has.

You could maybe try sanding it flush, then channel a little "ditch" going to it from about 1/4" in front of it, where it goes from nothing to 1/8" or so deep into the outlet, or inlet in your case. Fill the inside kinda thick with epoxy and start carving it out from the outside. Not the way Id do it on this hull, being carbon, but it would be more efficient than what you have. The more you have flush, the better and faster it will run.

Otherwise, that boats the cats meow man. Good job!!!!
