Great..Great work you made there. I think I would have used polyester...Glass/carbon does not really matter. It makes it possible to make a very thin/light and stiff hull. ( if you do not have acces t to vacum moulding).

yes Gill [ GRS BOATS ] produces some of the finest quality race boat hulls available world wide.

I am in no org...Was thinking that I just solder the ++ and -- of both the esc...68" I believe should be a "good size" where you can experiment with a lot of different setups...

One thing to consider, a 100+ mph boat that size has the potential to do a LOT of damage to life and property if not run on isolated waters. The kinetic energy is very high, and your liability in case of any accident could be huge. You will not be able to get NAMBA or IMPBA insurance for any boat over 60" in length. If it were me, I'd go with a 59.5" length. Performance-wise you will never notice the difference between 68" and 59.5". Well, actually you would, the 68" boat would be heavier and slower with the same power.

If all you want is 100 mph there are FAR easier and cheaper ways to get there. But then a 5-foot rigger would be cool to watch......

Jay, I agree 100% with your concern above. However Nevs is in Denmark so I am not sure NAMBA or IMPBA would apply.

Thanks Nevs but poliester resin was banned from my workshop many years ago due to the poor lasting quality....only epoxi would justify all my investments.
and yes good built fiberglass hulls can be as good as carbon ones.My new saw boats are made of fiberglass with carbon/coremat reinforcements in crucial areas and what I can say is they have survived a lot of fast flips with very few injuries. Gill

As I kind of promised..A very short test. sss 4082/1300 kv. 8s1p/5000/40c propshop 5014. The total lenght is 70 inch. The weight got a bit heavy. 6.5 kg rtr.

A lot of testing must be done to get it going.
