MADD CATT -41" fantasim saw build

[Cooper]

And it starts again! Up on the block is a 41" fantasim hull. I'm building this with one purpose- to go fast, really fast. Starting the build is a standard fantasim hull, just picked off the shelf. This process may be long as I'm in cold weather and have three months until she can see her natural element. I am starting with serius 1520 twin motors but will end up with twin neu 1527 1y once all the bugs are worked out. Speedos will be castle creation 200 hv or swordfish 300. Haven't got them yet. Ill try and be as informative as I can and I wish the same from the members here. Everyone has opinions just as myself but I always entertain experience. I will try and say what will be done next and try to include as many pics as possible. (I always like the pics). Sooooo, I'll post some pics soon. :)

Nice and white hull! Hatch definitely needs some reinforcing. The whole hull will be reinforced.

Ok well like I said this is a stock hull. Everything looks good. For anyone that has not had the pleasure of a build I will point some things out that need to be addressed. One there is not a bare hull that you can buy that does not need work ( filling sanding). How much you want to do is up to you, how do you want it to preform and how do you want it to look? I'm not as interested in cosmetic looks but I do want this one to preform so I will point out some imperfections that are just part of the building. As these are bare unfinished hulls. The bigger the hull the more work required. A flashlight to show the weave and seam. And the pic of my finger is NOT a bad seam, it simply has no gelcoat paint there from a light sanding of the seam area from factory.

I did highlight some areas that are not that photogenic.

Like I said this is not something that has to be done but I'm going into this. This is a pic of the ride pad, it looks good with lights on but when you really look at it you can see the ripple of the mold or material. Either way these will be filled/filed flat

For a lesser expensive hull I think it is pretty good!

Ride pads are pretty symmetrical and very even.

Subbed. Best of luck with the build.

I don't think twin SF 300s will fit.
I have one here that isn't being used... If you want to see one in person and see how it fits in the hull let me know. I could ship it to you as long as you pay to ship it back.

Very cool! Good choice on the motors, the 1717's are a VERY tight fit. What stingers are you using?

Sf 300? Holy krap I use those with my neu 2215 2.5ys motors on 12S and never get warm. The are a huge overkill

...."I'm building this with one purpose- to go fast, really fast."

How fast??

You may want some motors you can spin really fast like 40+k RPM or so. Definetly don't need SF300, SF240 is more then enough!
Even T180 can get you going with the right motors.

Sf 300? Holy krap I use those with my neu 2215 2.5ys motors on 6s and never get warm. The are a huge overkill

Overkill? Well after reading Keith's post I actually looked at the dimensions, made some mock boxes and holy krap! They are huge!! I want the headroom in the amperage department.
