Insane Boats P-Spec Sport Hydro 1st run with Vid !!!

[properchopper]

First let me say what an honor it was for me to be selected by Jeff Michaud, owner of Insane Boats to be the rigger/tester/owner of the first P-Spec rigged boat. And man, it's beautifull - absolutely the finest piece of craftmanship I've ever seen in a FE boat - both the hull and hardware. Out on the course she just ripped, and I backed off in the turns, as was my habit with other boats. Jeff said :
" Just hold her wide open" and I did just that and she took the turns WFO like she was on rails. [I'd forgotten that when I run with Jeff's gassers they just rip up the turns wide open, and this boat was designed by Jeff to do just that !}

Setup : Ul-1 motor [ a workhorse I made from 2 kaboshed UL-1 motors]
( a fresh one should add more mph I suspect )
UL-1 speed control, servo, and Tx/Rx
.150 flex
Hyperion 2S 5000's in series[ Loaned by UBHauled-thanks Bro] (incorrectly identified in the vid as 2S2P
ABC H-5 trimmed to 44.79 mm plus some Sholund magic

GPS : 53.6 MPH

Jeff's got to crunch some numbers and then the pricing will be released. Start parting out your UL-1's now !! Or get your big motor/SC ready, either way. And do visit the Insane Boat website to see where the inspiration for this boat came from

Tony/ Just blown away

Looks good

is it hard to tape up the hatch ?
I always have trouble trying to get the tape to seal at the bottom before it goes up over the canopy in this style of hatch

Very Very nice!

Taping was a piece of cake - the seams mated really well.

Tony... loading vid right now, sorry I could not make it, I cant remember if I told you but it wsa my oldest b-day party (5), I think if I had left the wife and daughters today I'd be in trouble, just a wild guess, lol
will comment in a few...

ok...
that was very nice T... do you have the boat with you? I am bringing my DH out to race you, since now it seems that there is some competition... LOL,
oh yeah baby, I went there!

LOL
let's meet.

Looks like I'm going to wait up!

Its funny Tony, It looks like you used that prop I recommended to you. You pulled the exact same speed as my Woodstuff 28" does with the UL-1 setup and prop! Pretty consistent! Mike

Tony, Brad recommended another run day on my lake. He suggested Sat June 19th. Does this day work for everybody? We may have a couple of these hydros to run and I can set up some buoys on the lake for an oval course. Good to race it against Hull #1 with the Leopard 2200KV that MarkF has. Guess I can now finally post this picture of him and the Insane Hydro.

Tony,

Looking good my friend, I would like to see this hull in person. Did you get a chance to run it in any race water yet? I could bring my BBY UL-1 to Joe's house/lake and run it with you, but I don't think you want to start impact testing that boat yet!

It looks like it could handle some race chop pretty well. Did you run it with just the single 4S pack in the bow? If so was there a big handling difference?
Hope to see you soon.....

Yup, that's the exact prop that you suggested to me On my VS-1 it really ripped- I didn't even try to corner at full tilt Then tried it on the LSO rigged T29 with a BJ motor & after a slight cav, it fully aired out ! Good Stuff, thanks !
