fightercat daytona build

[kfxguy]

Hang tight, I'm headed to go run mine. Has offset rudder. I think the problem is prop size and strut depth. Stay tuned and I'll have an answer.

Ok thanks alot dude i looked on your thread about cutting down the offset bracket because of your strut height. Ill be interested to see what yours does i cant really do anything to improve my boat until i get these problems soved

My Daytona would do the same thing. The offset bracket would drag until on plane. The offset rudder and torque roll has more affect on this narrow hull.

Did you ever switch it to inline?

The strut was level. Don't have the boat anymore, was a while ago. Here is the build thread from a few years ago.

Ok I have some info for you. Paying utmost attention as the boat it getting up on plane, it appears that the offset bracket drage in the water. Heck, it looks like it does even on plane. I plan on trying an inline on mine too just to be sure. Its a good bit off on speed compared to my river for sure. My best gps pass was 70.7mph. Pretty disappointing really but I'm just beginning to figure it out. It likes the strut high. And I mean high. I milled things so it would have more adjustment and it used all of my adjustment up, but every time I moved it up it got faster. I'm about to pull a data long on it shortly. I'll post my strut height in a few minutes.

Strut is .250 off the table. That's right, a 1/4". M645 prop

i cant open that for some reason, i am going to try the inline too how long of an extension are you getting i was looking at the 3 inch one from kintec?

hey guys so i ran my daytona again today and i payed close attention also to how it was driving and it looks like it is not the offset bracket it looks like it is the wing that the connector rod connect to. It looked like it was pulling it down for some reason. I will run it again tommorow to see what happens.
