    29-32" Best Deep Vee Hull

    Hi Guys, What would you consider the best 29-32" Mono Hull on the market today?
    I am considering replacing my Titan 29 and would like your usual advice. Thanks

      Having great luck with the Delta Force 32" Storm as well as the Aeromarine Titan 40... Both are VERY nice running hulls in race conditions.. Cant comment on the Rico31,, but have heard really good thing about it.
      Nothing like keeping you lipos warm and your prop wet!!

        What are your plans for motor and cells?
        I had a titan29 and now have a rico29 and df33. IMO the rico and df handle better than the titan29. The rico is heavier than the df which could help in rough water.
        I think its a toss up between the rico and df

            The 31" Rico and the 33" DF are close in speed and handling but rougher water the Rico handles better especially in the corners. We proved this in the roughest water of the year in GA.

                DF29" is a good choice too, I have a copy and I really like it!

                      Hi Guys, Planning on using Neu 1515-1Y and 4S or 6S Lipos. I am running in P-Offshore and presently I am using an Ammo 36-50-2300 but a similar Titan 29
                      with the Neu always smokes me in the straights and also some DF Knock-offs
                      from china also with Neus or Hackers also smoke me. I think there may be a
                      29-33" hull out there that is better than the Titan 29. Thanks for your advice

                        you might have some prop slippage or motor overloading with 2200kv at almost 50k RPM on 6S depending on the prop. I'm considering a similar setup, let me know how it works for you.

                          Checked the DF29 and DF Storm and Rico 31, I am going towards the Rio 31. There is not much
                          difference from my Titan 29 Hull, just a shorter freeboard. Maybe I should just re-power my
                          Titan 29 with a Neu 1515-1Y and Hydra 240 ESC and go to 6S Lipos. Maybe this will be the right
                          combination. May have to prop up to a 642, Presently using an X640 Octura.

                              It may not look like it but the small differences between the titan and the rico do make a difference in handling. The max speed the titan29 can reliably go is in the mid 40s mph, the Rico31 or DF would still be stable well into the 50s mph. A 1515 1y or 1521 1.5d on 4s would put any one of these hulls into the low to mid 50s mph which would probably be too much for the titan to handle.
