The Black Pearl P Sport Hydro 2017

I used to think of that old Whip like it was a Kenworth. Just plowing through what ever what was in front of it. Chop, wind, buoy, ducks, other boats. Come'n through!!!

My boats are like me HEAVY I make up for it with my great driving skills LOL LOL some more.

Too light a boat makes it difficult to handle any water issues. Even coming back and hitting your own wake can be an issue.

[Shooter]

I'm not going to argue. Some of my best race boats are tanks. They plow through the rough stuff and are always right side up at the end of the race!

[Shooter]

I think the key is to get that weight at the right spot. There's a big difference in turning ability between a heavy boat with weight all over, and a heavy boat with weight all at the CG.

[CraigP]

Agreed. Putting a bunch of weight in the back and counterbalancing it with weight up front just makes a see-saw. The boat will porpoise badly!

So another question on the Black Pearl (love the name) where is the CG.

[donthavta]

Sorry brain freeze ...Been away for two years I know were CG is

[donthavta]

I've read all 620 posts on the 5.7 . I have a castle 1515 1y how does it compare to the neu 1515 1y ?

[T.S.Davis]

Tyler races that on the regular. They're pretty good.

Thanks that will save $$$

Watch for a sale on Black Friday or around Christmas on the combo 1/8th Sidewinder and Castle 1515 1Y motor. ESC converts well to a good stock speedy control. Good for Limited class racing.

Thanks that will save $$$

My CG is 1-1/16" away from the back of the sponsons.
