[Chilli]

Nice job boys!!

[Doug Smock]

Congratulations on your new records fellas!!

[JIM MARCUM]

Wow!!! You guys are amazing. Special thanks for your FE & writing skills, Tony. It's a good thing I couldn't make it up - I would have ruined the "All five SoCal FE members in attendance put records in the book" as the only SoCal FE member with NO SAW record. But I'm working on it. JIM

[T.S.Davis]

Wait, I changed my mind. Brian, when you get a chance please post pictures of your n2 hydro. Complete with dimensions, AOA, strut angle, prop mods, shaft specific, lubricant, skill to build it................maybe just build it for me.
Fineeeeeeee...I'll try'n figure it out myself.

Tony/ Brian, sorry for asking what prop you were running. I didn't realize how touchy the subject was.
@stoneracing... are you sure it isn't directed at me. ha ha

@ts davis you are going to have to wait in line, he is already building me a replica of his record breaking saw boat. He is going to stay up late for the next month calculating the perfect pitch angles for a prop he is casting specially for the build. He expects it to beat his current record by at least 5mph. He is a real nice guy, all i did was ask him what prop he was running and he just went ahead and took on this build project for me. Can't thank him enough.

[T.S.Davis]

I promise nobody is hate'n on ya. I was just goofing too.

Although, I really would like to see pictures of all of these. Achieving that kind of speed is a mix of science, art, perfect conditions and a helping of luck...........did I just read that somewhere....

I so wish I could get to these events. Not because I think I can be that fast too. These guys have a level commitment I do not posses. Brian sets a record and then the boat disintegrates. ugh I'd lose my mind. I sure would like to go and study. Learn how really really fast is achieved. Those skills do translate to heat racing.

@TheShaughnessy: Definitely not, I read over my post before adding it and figured I'd better add the last bit. I swear they are still crying over on Jim's that someone won't share prop info - however, now the initial question has been changed to merely "what was the prop made of".. Lol - Gold obviously! Duh!

[T.S.Davis]

Unobtanium. Same stuff my cells are made of.

Who's the loud mouth big guy wearing orange shirt and Futaba hat.......................................just kidding. I know who he is.

For me (and I truly hope not to offend anyone), protecting one's go-fast stuff is more a matter of saying " We busted our a** getting these results, and we'd genuinely wish that anyone that wants to find out what that's like "come on down" to a race and give it a shot rather than just saying "Here's the setup I used-go do the same". You'll get all the help and encouragement you need which is way more than just finding the right prop. .

Tony, you said it perfectly. Brain and I had many conversations over my melted connectors, poor cooling setups and the lousy props I was using......change, run, fail, change, run, fail, change, run, break a record

However, the most encouraging thing I heard all weekend (and it was a disastrous weekend for me to be sure) was from Brian "you've come a long way Grasshopper, stay with it".

If you want the answers to the setups, come down and join the hunt and get your boat wet $$$$$

Also, my personal congrats to young beginner Kevin with his HPR 135 that broke my T Offshore record.....rock on young man

Well said. Some things just don't translate well on forums. SAW setup information included. And it's not to be rude, condescending or secretive. Any of the recordholders could write 5 pages worth of information about their setups, in detail, but that's just not the way it works. You have to go there and see it for yourself. Rub shoulders with these guys. Start small and work your way up. Plan on losing equipment.

All of the information one seeks will be shared...just not in the manner some think it should be.
