Thanks for the info guys this will give us a starting place.

Randy, how do you mount the uppers to the out drives so they are pointing straight and are even? Thanks. Nice build. Obviously you have great skills/track record for building if you were trusted with such a gem like this.

BTW, counter rotating flex couplers are available on the web.... L & R threaded couplers are cool BUT, MBP's are perfect.

I am doing my best work on this project. The HPR hardware is easier to mount and get stright. A lot of measuring and test fitting is necessary I am a 32 year Master Jeweler and Diamond setter, I Retired ten years ago. I have a extensive amount of tools that help a lot, a Fordom flex shaft is a big part of the equation. I start small with the holes I drill and push them the way I want them to go as I fit the parts. Patience is a big part of the build and on nights I am stressed the next day I do not work on the boat.

I knew I should have started 5 years ago as a polisher... I wonder if I can still try to get in... actually maybe it was almost 1o years ago I was talking to a jeweler about getting started in the trade or art. I didn't know that was your bread and butter so to say. Steve V. sells Jewellery correct?... are you two in cahoots? lol...

I worked a S&T Mfg. in Concord Ca. Steve is in the east. I was offered a job in New York at Tiffany and Co. by a agent in Walnut Creek but my wife will not move so retired I am. I started in the trade in 1971. At the time I lived in a commune in Boring Or.

what is wrong?

[ray schrauwen]

I don't see a picture, maybe it didn't load up or it's just me?

[ManuelW]

I can see the picture and it looks big, really big. I'd guess its a HPR 233?

How did this build turn out Randy? It's such an awesome looking hull...I'd love to see how it ended up.

Just throwing my hat into the ring when it comes to prop selection, if it's still an issue: I would favor the 2 blade octura props over the 3 blade ABC or propshop. Not only would the 4516s load the setup pretty hard, but they produce a lot more lift. Since the drives on these start out at a negative setting (they can't get to neutral without mods), it will most definitely handle better with the octuras. Also, if it's not a SAW cat (which I doubt it is given the extremely nice paint job), a set of x442s will likely be perfect.

After going back over the beginning of the thread and recalling the motor wind, I would DEFINITELY not run those motors on 6s with 4516/3s. I would expect to see current as high as 400A+ with that setup.
Personally I think those motors would be better suited for a 5s setup in this boat.
