Mean Machine water damaged

[DISAR]

Thanks, it took me some time to make the model and make this shape and place it forward where the motor is, but I think it came out quite nice. The mean machine is an "all time classic" boat, I would never change it.

Ive been told three seperate times that it is shipping on that afternoon..
Orderd over a week ago.
I allready orderd all the other parts for it elsewhwere and im sure that the other parts will be here before the hull ever will.

Call Remy back and ask what is going on with your order.

The “sale” of the mean machines seems to have been a fantastic one where a lot of people have got lucky as they managed to get some real good mean machine hulls at a very good bargain!! A real pity that I missed out this time and from the discussion here, I am sure that I must check out on these “water damaged” stuff when it comes up again!!

I like this hatch better the the original and the one from Steve (sorry Steve). DISAR see my pm on your hatch.

Thank you for the compliment D&D!

i personally love my mean machine. havent finished the build up yet. but its a gorgeous boat and a great deal. im going to build my own hatch out of carbon really soon. whats a good rudder for one of these? i have through hull pick ups annd a speedmaster strut. i dont need one with a water pickup but i guess it doesnt really matter

heres some pics from wheni laid in carbon



mine now has a ul1 motor in it. but debating on running an outrunner i have sitting here.

[Brushless01]

Run the outrunner man it will haul.

[ls1fst98]

haha i actually have two, but i doubt theyd fit and if so even stay on the water.

[ls1fst98]

haha alright, looks like its time to modify the motor mount so the larger screws will fit the slot. then get a new coupler and thrust bearing

swordfish 120 esc or the turnigy 125?

OP, sorry to kinda hijack. guess i need to re open my build thread

I run the Speedmaster rudder with the water pickup. I just called them and they recommended the correct rudder (I did shorten the rudder some). I run a New 1515.1Y at a best GPS speed of 58.5mph, but nornally it runs in the 57s. Not back but wonder if I should have gone with a motor with more torque. It doesn't seem to like anything over an X440-3 prop.

I got it wet today!!!
This has been a long wait and a long build but we got it in the water.
Ive been playing with the big gasser as of late.
After a few bad starts and all we reached a nice full run and speeds were at 47.5!!
Happy so far, still more in it.
