[srislash]

That little HPR is gonna rip(was gonna say F£Ybut...)! And yes you've a a small shipyard going there Shawn.

Lol, that's just a couple of what I have here right now, 11 including my personal boats. Need to get a few finished up and out of here.

Mike, came up with a name: "Pain in the Neck"
Can't wait to see the 99's in person, Andreas set the bar pretty high for us, be hard to beat.

I told a few people about the boat name, thats freakin' awesome lol.

Andy sure set the bar high Keith posted a few pics of the Hpr 99 on his facebook its mean looking and the inside is what you'd expect. Also Shawn searching composite envisions is dream like some of his material would look just insane in a boat. Idk if my next boat is going to have more color than the explorer or be really flat, almost a stark appearance but everything really heavy duty.

Combinations are endless with our boats, probably why we all can't stop lol.

Decided to head out this morning and run the 138, pretty awesome driving by the lake and seeing it flat as glass on all sides. Camera is crazy far back, its an Ion Speed Pro you can barely see the boat but you can still hear some rpm up high. 12s in this video.

Not the best video but 3:40 is a decent pass, and 4:55 is a funny crash, season is winding down but at least this morning was perfect. I really think the motors could take 13s no problem, but tbh I'd be more comfortable working up with props.

Very nice flight Mike. She is flying. Even with the camera at that distance you can see it.

Thanks Shawn I think next order with Mhz I'll pick up the 1/4" prop shafts.

Pretty nervous as 12s with big props will be over 120, if the 114 stays together at high speed maybe I'll try next season lol.

iridebikes: Those 3040's sound insane...

Any GPS clockings yet? Did you really run that thing with just x442 props (as mentioned in that youtube vid)... or am i missing something lol

[iridebikes247]

Nah the 442 thing was me being a d bag, they're 457s

I have gps'd this boat only a few times. 106.2 on 12s, on 11s right around 97.

I don't really see the point in running gps with this boat, the props are small and the only reason its moving is because I'm spinning decent rpm. In no way do I consider this a "SAW project," more of just a premium sport boat, this thing is standing still compared to whats out there nowadays lol.

The escs are still the swordfish 300 "old style." I have spoken with Manuel and he feels the speed is quite low considering the motors, others have said it seems ok. I do not think the escs are holding this boat back at top speed I gained 10 mph going from 11-12s so this seems like the proper speed progression.

I have owned this boat for some time and want to keep it going. The 114 will hopefully teach me a bit about high speed, technically its a stronger layup but my 138 is double cf and is much stiffer.
