It is nice to see some of the gas/nitro hull manufacturers making FE hulls.

We have Insane Boats, Seaducer, BBY, ProBoat, Aquacraft,and Phil Thomas launching FE friendly hulls now. VERY COOL.
Did I leave anyone out?

Tony,

I've decided that I'm kind of done using wire in most of my heat racing boats. I'll save it for the SAWs or 2-Lap stuff. Just been too much of a hassle for me most of the time. Might change my mind later, but cable is just so much simpler to deal with and way less tempermental...

I know, I know... I keep wavering back and forth, but after the hassles using wire in my P-Limited Hydro, and a lost VERY nice H10 (sorry Brian), I switched to a .150 cable and it's SOOO much simpler to deal with, with little/no loss in speed. It's all a matter of using the correct lube. Have to lube it for EVERY run, but otherwise, it's been a lot easier.

We're going SOOOO fast with our P-Limited setups that there really isn't much of a need to go to full P. However, it's nice to know that it can be done with the same hull. Will make traveling to bigger races a little easier.

Darin, based on your clubs atendance at last years nats and this years registration, you guy's must have small shafts.

Hi Chris,
She'll be my Club Sport Hydro normally. But the Whip needs some love, so the Insane will fill in for EA Sport Hydro when the refurb happens.

John,
It's been hinted one of my current fleet will have ot go. Wanna buy a cat??

Jeff would like to hear everybodys thoughts on what they would like to see next.

Can't help myself....."a real sport hydro!"

I know that you are just joking around, Alan, (at least I think you are...), but I'm still not understanding why some hold this sentiment...

Looking at this boat in the pics aboved compared to the Whiplash... They look very similiar in most respects. If people consider the Whip a "real Sport Hydro", then I don't see why the FE30 wouldn't be considered one as well. It meets all the rulebook criteria, which is the part that counts. The rules say it has to be of "limited or unlimited" design, if I recall correctly... Looks in the spirit of any number of limited designs to me...

Personally, I'd like to see something like THIS come to market...

Geezzzzzzzzzzzz Darin, what are the details on that thing? Looks like a monster waiting to take off on that first pic.

I'm not exactly sure... I've been trying to find more pics. Pretty cool, huh?!

[johnf]

It's absolutely insane. Fitting for the thread. LOL

I know that you are just joking around, Alan, (at least I think you are...), but I'm still not understanding why some hold this sentiment...

Not really. It and the whip are not "in the spirit" as far as I am concerned. The design is that of a rigger. Vented hulls where outlawed by some factions and having seen one run I can testify that the vents make it run better than a conventional sport hydro. The same can be said about the layout of the sponsons on this and the whip hull. The whip was bad enough but the insane is extreme in this regards. The hull you have pictured has other sets of rules to which it's design must meet. They may not be as applicable when converted to model boating rules. I doubt very much that the modern hull Darrin has posted would fall into the 25% rule.

[detox]

When I placed my order with Jeff about 4 weeks ago, he also asked what other hull designs and length may be of interest to FE boaters as most of his stuff is gas orientated and he perceives the FE market as a new venture........suggestions?

Douggie

A really nice looking 30"hydro would be cool. Something that is easy to tape and use less tape (NO HUMP TO TAPE OVER). A nice fitting lid that lays flat. Something with larger size battery compartment. Slightly wider sponson ride pad width.

Too many mono hulls out there. Please no more monos.
