advice needed in choosing new hull

re

Part Time, you may want to look into a deep-V with high freeboard. Doozie runs Electro-Vee boats for that reason. He trips, flips, & spins them out and they seem to always land on their bottom. Given that the E-V is no longer readily available
[ & they're ABS], I'd check out the Aeromarine Challanger hull. At 31 X 9.50 inches they have a pretty high freeboard. If you mount the motor far astern to keep the batteries close to the hull centerline in front of the motor, power it with the SV system, you may have the right combo. It's sharp looking with traditional offshore raceboat lines & I'm thinking it should run in the high twenties.

the BBY oval master offshore has a good freeboard also.....and if you got the dough they have it in carbon fiber....sweeeet.

Put a 9 or 10XL , Cuda 125 in the Triton hull with a flood chamber and have a ball!!
We have two of them running in the club with Neu 1515 1Y on 4s 2p and they are blistering fast and self right within seconds.
They have a shallow vee but handle the chop pretty well.

Agreed about the OM. I have a rare 'glass OM 26 coming this week which I'll use for choppy water days with one of Doozies "special" 700 motors on 12 cells.

I run a Triton w/o flood chamber with 10xl and 16 cells. I may be lucky, but it's only landed on its top once. Handles rough water very well in my opinion.

Doug, 'yer readin' my mind ! Next project after the OM 26 is to transfer the running gear from my blowover-prone Titan 29 [ 9xl, Cuda 125, oops Hydra 120, Speedmaster] to a Triton hull. No more rescue boat hassles ; yahoo !!! :)

I hear ya. But I'll also tell you. I am killing those guys with my Titan 29 and the same setup.:D (fine tuned)
They tend to get a little too froggy knowing that if they flip they'll be back in the race. And the Titan is better in race water and the corners.

Man, That's sweet !! Wanna let out which prop you're using on the Titan ? I'm using an M445 [pending a data-gathering run with the now-installed Eagle Tree setup.]

Doug, off topic, but I just checked out your club site ! Super cool !! " Scale, Sail, or Rooster-Tail " ; I love it !:)

Thank you sir, we're working hard to build the FE side. It looks like this may be our year.:)
I'm running a x442 on my Titan with a 2200kv Neu. I can prop it up but run out of lake quickly. With the the 442 the equipment is loving life.

no youve had a sv27 blowover... or rollover?

re

Ah, those Neu motors ! Someday ! The 9xl at 1853 kv seems pretty happy with the m445 , but the EagleTree run will shed light.

Mich., the Titan 29 has blown over [ full hydro-like aerobatics] into some serious headwind. What a sight, but not kind on the goodies. :D

Oh I have blown it over, BIG, UGLY BLOW OVERS. That is where the " fine tuning" comes in.:D

re Big & Ugly

LOL !!!:D

D.Smock,
Those are the 2 nicest hardware setups I have seen yet. I prefer the Triton because of the flood chamber but the Titan looks like a handling machine. Gotta love the straight white hulls. EXCELLENT craftmanship!
