    Twin electric SAW outrigger, looking for hull suggestions

    Hey guys,
    Looking to build a twin electric SAW outrigger and am looking for hull suggestions. I'm pretty open, but need to get at least 75mph out of it, and prefer it to be a composite hull. Thanks in advance.

    Hey Randy, why don't you field this one for him. The twin rigger you designed last was sweet ... does anyone have any contact info for Randy @ BBY in case he's been off the board for a bit ?, Thanks

            Thanks for the link. I've seen that video, and your boat looks fantastic. If you have one to sell I'd be interested for sure. Have you converted any others, or have a recommendation?

            Thanks for the info. I don't have the time to build from scratch like that. Do you know of a prebuilt version, or fiberglass equivalent?

                    Should be easy to achieve well over 75mph with single setup on a rigger..Why twins?

                      It wasn't a conversion it was built to suit the gear inside. My advice is get together the motors, batteries, esc's and servo work out what room you need then chase up a hull to fit it. Intlwaters has a few nitro riggers for sale. But you need to know how much room you will need.

                        None at this time (subject to change without notice). Just want something fun.

                        That is a fine looking boat. Unfortunately I can't read the details on your site. Will these be for sale?

                        If one is good, two is better right? Mostly, I like the sound and the extra water thrown from the second prop. No real technical reason.

                          Thank you for the suggestion. I will start looking into a electrics package that I would like to use.

                            Why do I sense that my buddy, ProperChopper, is having a complete melt-down offline right now??
