    Spinning the props outwards is the way to go for handing. This has to be the largest rooster tail I've seen from an R/C boat. I need to move the CG back, she is running a bit wet.

        This boat is amazing. I'd love to build something similar, but I dont have the budget... wish someone made a slightly smaller version!
        Still in dry dock... But planning to get wet soon.

            So, are you happy with this twin setup? What was your speed?

              I feel the sameway about rc's in general. Mostly off- road large scale. But I like boats also.
              Here is what I'm woking on currently.

              It has a 22'' wheel base and only weighs 17 lbs with the SMC 9400 2s lipos on board to run a 4074 2200kv leopard @ 4s. It really is one of a kind!
              twissted from speed. Lead, fallow or get out of the way. Copy cats in back of the buss!!!

                This hull ran great with twins but turning was a bit sketchy. Because of how high the stingers have to be, one prop would come out of the water in a sharp turn. I think the steps didn't help either. Now, my twin 45'' DF Sniper handles awesome with twins. The struts are much lower on this hull and there are no steps. The Outerlimits served it's purpose. It was a fun boat that I built more for scale. I don't think I ever put a GPS in it. I've sold the boat since. Kind of miss it though.

                          What are you geeting worked up about? I posted what I'm currently working because I enjoy building just as you do.
                          Would it help if I built a tow hitch and trailer and put my 1400 cat in the photo?
                          I just like building sorry to piss you off!

                              It's a SAW setup with twin Lehner 2260s.
