    Some Visuals

    Some videos of these hulls in action

    Two yellow DF Cyberstorm 32's (one not running right & one {Tyler's} running away until the course totally chops up & flips at 01:45 , then the two white Insane 34's survive and mine takes first place : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0ixeztr-wE

    Next up : Tyler driving my old green DeltaForce 33 in a gas/nitro OPEN heat ; low frontal deadrise causes the stuff at 0:31 - I switched to a Cyberstorm after that & then to the IB34




    Here's my same green DF 33 running ahead of Bill M's Cyberstorm in the slop - both being stomped by a Lizard X :



    Confused enough ? Like Mike said, all good choices but none will remain totally stable in big waves. Again, I'd say that the larger the hull, the better it will survive in the rough.

    BTW FWIW Tyler's back running a DF33 in P-Mono & spanking us again

      Thanks Mike and Chopper.
      At the second to last race the water was rough. Not to where we had waves or white caps but enough for the Revolt to be operated at half speed while the other boats where maybe at 60/70 of there normal speed. I am searching to see if there is a boat more tame in the rough conditions then another. I know I would not be able to run at max speed but also don't want to be a hazard to others. I know the make of the other boats where a Cyberstorm and a Delta Force or a Rico. Of all the racing I did in 2014, there was only one day that the water was rough. This would be the boat I build over time as the rough water boat. I figure it would be a $800 investment. With building a Cheetah and racing cars (real cars 1/4 mile) I would plan out the build and then build it over time. I am going to the lake on Monday to try the Pursuit again. Maybe the water will be rough. LOL The speed I am not worried about, I can step it up. I am concerned to see if and how it can handle the rough water. I also understand there are no other boats in the water to make it realistic.
      Spoke to someone tonight about some tips on how to improve the speed. I was taking baby steps, I can take a big step forward and then the little steps.
      This sport is addicting - like most others. :-)

          That is about what the water conditions were at my last race. My Revolt was acting the same way.

            That's a great assessment Mike. Pursuit is about the same. I can probably get to 70 but driving it 70............not likely. Much over 60 at this size gets hairy quick. Up to 50 though, all of these should be point and shoot.

              Once again....thanks fellas, this thread is providing a wealth of information. I've been building boats for about 10 years but I can learn something new off this site everyday. I think I'm going to build a Pirate 35 twin for my next build. The question is twin 4s....or5,mmmmmm.
              Many thanks R.B

                  .....It's Air Jordan, the boat...haha, nice one.I do have a pursuit already. Just thinking if you were a little man in that boat, how high on a scale factor those waves would be.....I would imagine you would need to change your little man underwear afterwards.
