38" H&M Intruder twin to begin

[bigpapa]

got a 31" awsome awsome boat

[Rumdog]

2" sounds good to me. the farther back, the more steering you'll get, and with twin drives you'll want a lot!

That one SWEET ***** brother J

You like now, wait till we get her wet!

[rcboatfan]

love that hull

[Jesse J]

Anybody know of struts that are 3" that are adjustable from the side? Speed master are adjustable from the top, and the ones I have listed are maybe just long enough.

Nobody is commenting on this question: Is the rudder too far back when it is 2 1/5" behind the props? I am getting the idea nobody is sure enough of their experience to state. In which case I will assume that it is NOT a problem and stride forth.

The etti versions I have coming are sweet. I am pretty sure from all indications they are the same as the tough racing vesion. I am getting some in stock. They can be used with or without bearings. Just seeing if I can put the larger 3/16" bearings in them...I think I can. They are just slightly over 2.5" long. You just need to tell me if that will clear the set backs of the hull sponsons With shaft and DD you should be at around 2.75 or slightly more.

[Jesse J]

Thanks, Jeff, I can't wait to see these struts. the setback is not more than 2.75" so the props will be making nice unrestricted roost. If this is the only requirement, then lets go for it!

As for bearings vs bushings, I will be looking at 33k rpms as my max (thats on 6S). THIS IS GONNA ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with all statements regarding when going with a top quality hull to go with grade A components. These sound like my choice for struts.

Just checking the hull out Jesse , will be a very cool build . just mail me the cut out templates when you have what you want in a mount and I will do the rest , the measurements HAVE TO BE EXACT

[Jesse J]

Right you are. Working on the template. Will email it and post here to get more feed back. Thanks Peter,
J

[Jesse J]

here is sketch with dimensions. I was thinking of something that is tied across the tunnel and even bolted there, leaving the motors "floating" in the sponsons. This way I could adjust the placement exactly equally. Here are dimensions, I will work on drawing what I am picturing and post soon.

[Flying Scotsman]

Just along for the ride, this will be an interesting build.

[Punisher 67]

Jesse my mill is setup in inches can you make the measurements in that please also , that mount is what I was kind of thinking of..........Coool

Excellent detail Jesse ...............thank you

[Jesse J]

You think that was detail, try this. And I will make you a version in imperial units and send it in higher resolution.
