Looks great. Did he mention what setup he used and any results?

That's hot!
I may just have to get one. I got a toy sport triton and the quality is awesome. Dare i say better then my H & M boats.

Taylor, the Toysport boats are manufactured to a higher quality than H & M boats. I have 3 H & M hulls and one Triton...no question as to which is better quality.

Josephs boats are beautiful and built using a cnc / cad process. I will post a sneak peak at one of his projects that he has on the cnc drawing board.

My syncron has endured more crashes than I care to write about. Not a stress crack or problem anywhere. I wish I could say the same for my Drifter S, Drifter and Viper.

In fact this thread with my prior knowledge of H & M begs the question of how to stiffen my M1 hull.
I have looked at carbon fibre weave, but it is really expensive. Any other answers?

We have two Tritons and one Sycron in the club that have been through hell. Blown off, stuffed, launched off buoys over and over again, and not a single gelcoat crack.

Pretty remarkable!!! Check out this vid. Two Tritons and two Titans. http://www.rcuvideos.com/item/BV4ZFZVF9YYVKWSC

I thought you Jolly fans might like to see my 'work in progress' version of a Twin Jolly.
I bought mine as a bare hull from Fastelectrics ( thanks Andrew ) and have made my own surface drives from KS stainless tubing with speedmaster sleeve bushes inside.
The stainless brackets welded to the tubes have slotted mounting holes so a small amount of trim adjustment is possible and they enter the hull through flexible rubber sleeves.
The thrust is taken by the mounting brackets , not the rubber sleeves.
Inside are 2 Feigao 8XLs with Castle Hydra ESCs from OSE ( thanks Steven ).
The rudder is a bit of a hybrid with an Aeromarine Laminates mounting bracket , which fits the hull perfectly, and a speedmaster blade.
Power will be 2 X 12 IB3800s with lipos planned for the future.
Don't know how fast it will go but I don't think it will be slow !
Regards
Graham.

awsome job post some vid when you are done let us see that thing in the water......................

[Steven Vaccaro]

Graham thats outstanding work!!! That should scream! What props will you start with?

For reference, This is the setup Joseph is testing in the twin proto
2 pcs LMT 1940-11 (1425 rpm/v) 2 pcs Schulze 32-55 WK
and 6 cells LiPo 4600 (or 22 cells) with Graupner K40 left and right.

I have looked at carbon fibre weave

I just got a very nice piece carbon fiber weave. Let me know how much you may need and maybe we can work something out. :)

What weight and weave???

I am very interested

[SJFE]

Weight of the fabric is 670grams per square meter, 2X2 twill weave. I bought a 45x12 piece and will use about half of it if that. Very thick stuff top quality.

Thanks, for the quick reply. I think that is too heavy for my application. Stiffen.. easy Doug .. My M1 Superecat
