You did a great job your self too.
I saw you just bought another one too. You beat me to it. What are you going to do with 2? LOL

yes i did!! but she's just gunna be my n2 oval boat....

Yah... sure... We'll see how you feel about that once you get it together and drive it! I have been racing a Dark Horse 26" in O-Mono and N2-Mono for two seasons now... Even with the major strake mods I did, it's still not able to fully compete with the DF... at least not in race water...

I'm actually thinking of using the Dark Horse for a SAW attempt, and keeping the DF for Oval duties! It just handles the water beautifully and drives like a dream...

You are going to love it!

By the way... I sent an e-mail to Doug... Have him forward it to you... Might help the build along...

[C.Smock]

thanks i appreciate it!!! just fyi the dark horse was what i took the n2 mono record with...and i had a 49+ mph o2 pass with it but ran out of time to tweak it in order to back it up.... awesome hull but it would appear as if i was quickly reaching hull speed... lol

[C.Smock]

john- get you a 25 df and we will have a build off.lol

[Darin Jordan]

You know... If I'm not mistaken, I believe that O-Mono has the same parallelling allowance that the rest of the classes do... at least in NAMBA...

DH 26" mono... two sets of 8-IB4200's in parallel... Extra juice... extra weight... suddenly... the hull speed is MUCH higher... Hmmmmm.....

[Rc1racing]

"awesome hull but it would appear as if i was quickly reaching hull speed"

What's hull speed? LOLOL

57 MPH El Lobo hull speed was somewhere in the 40s. LOL

[C.Smock]

haha!! go for it!!! i might have to give that a shot nxt go round! they are cool hulls it handled 60 well. but took some tweaking.... did you see the you tube vid?

[C.Smock]

thats true john ..... so0o0o that means my DH has like 75++ in it!!!:rockon: jk wow.... scary thought. lol

[Rc1racing]

But you never know. I will have the El Lobo going at the next SAWS race that's for sure. 60MPH + here I come.
I like the idea on the build off too.

[C.Smock]

well getcha a df 25 ordered!!!! lol

[SJFE]

I know exacly what Casey is doin with that new DF.... :-P

[Doozie870]

Sometimes I think you saw guys have money to burn, but then I look at a horse that I have over 20k in, thats made under $300 total in two seasons lol. Rock on again!!
