Do you ever sell 2S and 4S 6200's?

[MarkF]

I sell 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s and 6s 6000s. The 2s sold out last week but will have more coming in a few weeks. I reorder every month.

Whoa! Look at that bend!!

I was assuming that was some sort of optical illusion?! We never had that much!!!

Best to look at the website to know what I have and don't.

You will love your 45. These hull's have so much potential !!

I am very much looking forward to running the boat. I am setting it up to race at the nats here in Las vegas.

Mark,

Not sure what side you ended up putting the rudder, but Larry and I had a discussion in another thread regarding this and I thought of you.

We were discussing the rudder creating lift while turning (assuming it isn't angled inward).

The theory was that a right hand rudder would be more susceptible to the boat riding up on the turn fin during small left turn corrections. My current boat clearly had this problem. I moved the rudder to the left side and the condition is much improved. Thought I'd share.

New Pro Boat hydro has rudder on left side as well.

I have a straight 1" rudder and it's mounted on the right already so I will try it there and see what I think. I also have a very hooked turn fin.
I just got my motor and mount and I'm now ready to finish the boat. I hope to be ready to test in 2 weeks. I will let everyone know what I think after I test.

Cool. It's a great sport hydro. Mine ran awesome on smooth water, but it was a handful in chop (very wide transom).

I used to mount my rudder on the left like everyone else, until John Finch wrote the following some years ago. Since I started using a hooked fin all my hydro rudders have been on the right.

"I used to run all my scale boats with the rudder on the left so it held down the right sponson in the turns. Since I am now using cupped turn fins to hold the right sponson down, I mount the rudder on the right. The problem with the rudder on the left is it makes the boat blow off the water when you make a left hand adjustment because it pushes down on the right sponson and the left sponson lifts, thus blow off! Torque is trying to lift the left sponson as it is. With the rudder on the right, when you turn left, pressure is put on the left sponson to help keep the boat from blowing off the water, so you can make left turn adjustments easier without fear of blowing off. Hard left turns are a non no, but rudder on the right works better. John Finch"
