      I'm thinking that the "4" was really meant to be a "5 3/4"... as in "25 3/4"

        Making it 1/8" longer isnt a big deal. Phil has a good boat in the 26" range.
        Next is a 29+ hull.

            I should have the 24" boats in about 4-8 weeks.

                are you thinking of using the same design?

                  Same styling. But now I'm thinking bigger than 29". Phil from Vac U Boats will have a 29 incher in the very near future. I will be working on a 32 or 33".

                    Phil has a plug for a 29, but has plans to produce a 34" boat. I'm think he's in a let's see what the rules do mode.

                    It's exciting to see all the interest in new designs!!

                          How would a Feigao 9L perform in something like this 24"? too small/big? good?

                            I would recommend doing a 32-34" Hydro for P/Q-class (4S and 6S) racing!! There are no competitive f/glass Hydros in that range, that I know of.....

                            Cant wait to see the final product in the 24" version!!
                            Nothing like keeping you lipos warm and your prop wet!!

                                I have a 9L in my Viper (24")... runs great.
                                I had it in my 25" Dark horse that went 61mph with that motor.
                                It gets a bit hot if you are planning to race oval.
