My Delta force 26 SAW build for P,Q,S

So, your not going to show what the gps read?

[maddmatt]

Sure I'm going to show speeds. When I'm done I'll tell all the secrets. I've been building mono boats on and off since 18 yrs old. Mostly 2 stroke monos so I got a good idea to make them go fast. Tomorrow, I'll get her("WHITE LIGHTNING") fixed and do some better runs and vids. I only had a starter prop. Hopefully I'll get my better prop done and run some winning number. Today I was close to the 4s mono record!!! Real close!!! Its all fun. I'll never SAW event the boat. I live in BFE. I'm 43 yrs old and retired or as the wife says more like retarded and I enjoy playing w/ toys. Tomorrow, MM.

Cool, I'd like to see hosw fast it is! It's so far away it's hard to tell. I thought I was going to get rick rolled for the first 40 seconds or so of that video but finally a boat showed up in the water.

Someone said there is a SAW event in Flint, as in Flint, MI? If so maybe I'll meet you there.

The little DF 26 took a hard hit. We had some friends over for dinner and drinks. After a few drinks I decided to take it for a few passes. The lake looked so nice!!! Several passes went good till I decided to try my normal flyby. I missed judged by several inches and OUCH!!! Regarding the DF 26, it is a awesome little boat. Smooth water only at high speeds. It can take a hard aand keep on floating. I'm going to order a new hull and rebuild. Only the hull got damaged. I'm going to do some simple changes. I found a sweet spot to mount the stinger so I won't be doing a flood tube. Also the motor will lay flat in the hull allowing a straight shot out to the stinger. Heres the vid. Enjoy, MM.

man that sucks but its a funny vid with no sound..i can see the panic starting to set in when the rescue rig is deployed..where the hell is the rock? must be shallow way out there

At first I lost signal so the rescue boat headed out. After 50' it got signal. My good spektrum radio won't give full throttle so I've been using my kids proboat radio not the best. There is a rocky point which I clipped. You can't see it because of the branches. The lake is safe from turtles and underwater stumps or rock. I just have to stay away from the shore. I do it all the time to WOW the kids, thinking I'm going hit shore. This time I really gave them a WOW. Where I'm in the boat is between 6-10' deep. Goes to about 41' in the middle. Live and learn.

Wow that thing was movin!

[maddmatt]

I gps'd it at 69.3mph several x's w/ a change of .1mph between several runs. (Good for bracket racing)Very consistent! This run was w/o gps and I just bent up the m445 giving it even more pitch and also cupped it. It might be doing 70mph +. It ran great till I hit the shore. Next boat will be better and faster!! Once OSE gets some more hulls in white I'll build it again and stay away from the shore. MADDMATT!!
