central rc 51 victory

[ls1fst98]

so i got a 51" victory cat from central rc. i am trying to lay out the drives on it as it will be a twin powered by 2028s on 8-10s depending on how hard i want to push it. it is the light layup with carbon added while in the mold wet in wet.
heres a few pics with theboat and my daughter in it!

my question is i have these drives:

the issue is to get the shaft center inside the sponson better i was thinkgin about shaving off the inside mounting hole and adding my own mounting hole in the center of the drive. would this be doable? or should i say something i could do safely?

that thing is gonna be seriously underpowered huh?

only a little....but i think it will work...

What's the width of that hull? Got any pics of the bottom side? That's some serious power for a 50"er. Twin 2028 are used to power the 72" mystic fine and that's a huge hull compared to yours.

the boat is 16" wide and 51.5 overall. it has a flat ride pad, i will upload a bottom pic after work today. i know its a lot of power for the size but after talking about it with a few people it seemed to be a good route to go. i had considered the 72" boat but the consensus was it was a lot of boat for an electric power. we are guessing at 80mph on the 51.

its just a few inches shorter than an hpr 135 but wider. and people use 2028s in those

Plenty of motor, it will fly!

Josh you have a great motor selection. I power a 135 on twin 2028s and love it. If anything it could probably take more depending on your goals. You wont break speed records but itll be far from slow.

Thanks Scott, after many texts back n forth I knew I made a good choice.thanks for all the advice.

Well A person does, LOL. Nice choice there Josh. Like Scott said, most likely won't break speed records but it'll be a great ripper. Pull like a mad beast. I have the stuff for a smaller BEAST here, A R-42 and twin 1717. Grins

I think you'll really enjoy it. These hulls are way different than the more scale SAW type hulls, 2028s are a great match for it.

Thanks guys, I was never doubting my motor choice. Main thing was mounting the drive. If I could shave that ear off and add a third mount hole in the center below the center mount hole.

any thoughts??
