Rico Superboat Plan

How are you going to mount the motor

[Brothers 1718]

Those are nice motor mounts, did you make those? I was looking at the Stumpfab Lehner LMT 3O Series mount as it has 5-inch rails which my boat has.

[Punisher 67]

Yes I did I have CNC equipment , I had a look at the Stumpfab mounts and they look to be a nice basic mount - I always wondered how others
mounted such a large in-runner motor . Those are also a 5.0 inch rail spread in the pictures above . In post #4 Racemechanix (Tyler) we used to
work together on some of these mounts this is a larger variant on one of Tyler's designs . I have been out of making these on a larger scale for many
years but do leave the door open a crack on occasion .


So the one mount has the SSS 56154 that I bought earlier in the thread and the other is the Tenshock 64130 which is probably the largest thing
to ever roll out of Tenshocks line up of motors . The Tenshock dwarfs the Lehner 30100 in size but in reality the Lehner is probably still more powerful .

When the time comes can I purchase one of the mounts from you? Yours looks way better than the stumpfab.

[Punisher 67]

You bet for sure , I will pick up materials next time I am in Edmonton at the metal supermarket . The mount will be about a third $$$ more than the Stumpfab as
materials alone for this is about $40 - $50 clams , without carbon fibre plate up top its $10 less .

Thanks, man I appreciate it, I'd probably get it with the carbon fiber top plate it'll look super clean.

I spoke to the guy at Rico racing several months ago, who build these boats and was looking at the smaller version to your boat, i think it was a 48 inch offshore version with full carbon. but still not committed yet.

Gonna order a custom battery tray.

I love the biggie build. I was going to comment on you mentioning the gas prop knowledge. If you aim for the low mid 20k rpm then the gas props should get you close. It is just when you crank up the Rpm that you really have to size down. An brushless motor will push most any prop but it is what it does to the amp draw and heat that gets out of hand. I look forward to the build.

My knowledge of gas props is almost nonexistent, but luckily, I know a few gas guys willing to lend me some props and help get her tuned. I've come up with an interesting idea on how to monitor my amps and log data, using a Smart shunt. Victron has an IP65 500 amp smart shunt which should help log my data. It doesn't have to be a permanent fixture but a vital component nonetheless.

Thank you for the recommendation, I looked at the Hyperion Emeter 2 a few days ago but I discounted it as it is only rated for 150 amps and 300 amps for 3 seconds, which would require modification to get that and there is a high chance I might pull more than 300 amps for a prolonged time. Furthermore, It seems that I would or may have to look into cooling methods as it is built to be air-cooled. I don't know if I'm right in my thinking, please correct me if anything.

I doubt you will pull 300 amps for more than a few seconds. Acceleration getting the boat on plane is where it pulls. Once on plane things settle down in the amp department. But err on the side of caution and the meter is a really good idea for setting things up. Once your happy with it you don?t need it in there.

so it easily handles a lot more. you can also double up the shunts by wiring them in parallel. run these on my 12s cat pulling 295 peak amps. SMC have about the highest rated output of any battery. They put out about 200A at storage voltage. so if you are doing laps that's about what you want to prop for at the most.
