Best self-righting boat???? Help!

[Gerwin Brommer]

Are we talking about this version of the website, and the boat ?

If so : I'm almost 101 % sure you need a floodchamber for flipping on lipos

Out of curiosity, are there downsides to the flood chamber other than taking up space?

Gerwin, this is the correct site. Under the MODEL section it states the hull is self righting and under the CELL section it states 6-8 cells nimh and 2-3s lipo. This really doesn't matter to me as my 26 H&M mono has a flood chamber which coincidently, does not work every single time. Thanks for your interest. BG

I have a Toysport Triton hull with hardware I'd be willing to sell if you're interested. It has a flood chamber for self-righting. Same hull as this:

Mine is blue and red. Can take pics to send if you're interested. Looking for $250 shipped.

somebody makes a big tall ugly hatch for the supervee that makes it self righting. Not sure where to get it but I'd be embarassed to run the boat it's so ugly with that thing on there.

Adamb :

Benefit of a floodchamber :
The hull is "stronger" , it adds more structural strenght to the hull.

ENCORE MAN :
It doesn't flip EVERY single time ???????
Strange ! Can tou post a pic of the hull, showing all the holes you've drilled to let the air out ?

[sailr]

Most of the flood chamber boats come with the minimal holes in them. If your boat isn't self righting you need one and or two things. Bigger holes to let the air out, more weight on the chamber side. I have seen people open up big holes in the deck and also add lead weight inside the flood chamber. SOMETIMES, if you have room, you can use a bigger heavier battery on the left side of the boat.

[Gerwin Brommer]

Yep !

And : the hole in the front, how close is it to the front of the floodchamber ?
If the holes are too far back, you'll keep an airpocket inside the chamber.

Do you run your boats at the 41st ST lake in Doral?

[Gerwin Brommer]

Depends on what you expect from a hull.
Speed like the mono
Or cornering like the eco

Thought you didn't want a flood chamber. That one has a chamber. Says so in the description.
