Perfect Hull for a 4074/ 2000

[chipgibbs]

I have a Leo 4074/2000 and need hull to put it in. I'll use a 4S1p 5000 pack to run it and a Seaking 180 to control it.

What's the Perfect, Fast little hull for this set up.


Thanks for any ideas

Proboat MG, FC cheetah, small mono? I would say anything in the low 30" range and smaller

[Heaving Earth]

There are several boats that would be good. What's you budget? Any preference on hull type?

[chipgibbs]

I have a Revolt and a Cheetah so a hydro might be nice.

Randy,
Which hull is that? I have looked at your page before and there just isn't enough info. Some of the hulls shown don't even give the length.

It is the SMJ 30 (Smokin Joes) It is not on the site along with others. I had a lot of info on a server that went down.

Randy, Is that boat a legal IMPBA Sport Hydro?

[RandyatBBY]

Chilli I have read the IMPBA rules below and I do not see any thing wrong. I think it is.

I know it is NAMBA Legal.

Sport Hydro
General
1. Records and racing will fall into the N,P,Q,S,T classes.
Boat Specifications
1. Boat must be inboard powered with only one motor.
2. Hull must be a three (3)-point full-bodied hydroplane configuration and resemble a limited or
unlimited hydroplane design of past or present. These hull types, Outrigger, modified outrigger,
tunnel, or canard hulls are not allowed.
3. Boat will be painted/coloured in the sprit of racing and must include sponsor's name, logo, and/or a
racing number affixed to hull. A local, national, or fictitious sponsor name is acceptable.
4. Boat must have a driver and/or simulated enclosed cockpit.
5. The three riding surfaces of the hull will be considered to be;
a. The propeller and will be referred as the rear riding surface.
b. The aft, lower most part of the two sponsons, which may or may not be equal distance from
the bow of the boat. These two points will be referred to as the forward riding surfaces.
6. The forward riding surfaces will be located within 50 and 60 percent forward of the transom for the
overall hull length and measured at a 90 degree perpendicular to the hull centre line.
7. Picklefork hulls shall not have open areas ahead of the forward riding surfaces totaling more than
25% of the total hull length. No other hull vent(s) are allowed.
8. The width of the bottom of the transom must be 65% or more of the width between the forward
riding surfaces. On a shovelnose hull that has a tapered transom bottom the 65% rule will apply to
the hull bottom at a point three a one half inches forward of the transom.
9. Only one strut and rudder is to be used. The maximum strut size is, 9/16 inch wide and 3 inches
long. The strut maybe mounted under the hull or to the transom. The strut must be mounted in a
fixed position when the boat is running on the water
10. All running hardware must be of a suitable size and installed in a manner that does not add to, create
another riding surface or add any lift to the hull. All running hardware and installations may not be
aggressively oversized for the intended function.
11. The stuffing tube will not be considered as a ride/lifting surface but must maintain a cylindrical
shape throughout its length. Where the stuffing tube exits the hull a single triangular support as
viewed from side will be allowed as long as its primary purpose is to house the stuffing tube and the
dimensions don’t unreasonably exceed that purpose.
12. Transom cutouts, cutups or bottom extensions are not allowed.
13.Rear shoes are not allowed.
14. Air dams that extend to the rear may be a maximum 1/8 inches wide.

Thanks Randy, Rule #7 is what I was concerned about. I've seen a few similar designs where that was a problem.

[RandyatBBY]

It is allowed 25% of 30.25 inch boat 7.562 inches or less and it is 7.5..... so it under that and not over.

[Chilli]

Excellant. Thanks for the #'s.
