78.671 mph p-mono

[mike martin]

well thought I would post some pics of my p-mono set the new p-mono record at saws last week this boat is amazingly sturdy at 78 mph its a 25.5 delta force with a new 1512 and castle creations hydra 240 this boat also holds the n-2 record at 68 mph.
I can't wait to run it in Q

Great job mike. Wish i made it up there for it. Anyone got any video of it. I seen it set the n-2 rec. in sept. and it was screaming i cant imagine another 10mph out off it. Very impressive

Now put a 1521 in it and let's see how it can really go!!!!!!! It must have looked awesome, a boat that small, going that fast. Must have been something to see.

Mike you must have worked some magic to keep it on the water at that speed. Great job!!

[ozzie-crawl]

thats 10mph faster than i can legaly do on the motor way with my car
i have a df25 copy but when steve gets some more in i will buy a real df 26 hull

[Raydee]

I am amazed that you can keep a 25" boat on the water at those speeds, good Job!

Congratulations, that's amazing speed! Plus the fact you pulled it off without mishap! I'm sure that many of us would be happy with 2/3 that speed LOL.

I have a question that may seem silly, but I'm not a mono guy. How come these DF hulls are capable of more speed than, let's say for instance a H&M No Step 2?

Is there a difference in hull design that I'm missing? Angles? Balance?

Thanks

As a final thought, I can't see the prop you're using with your setup

I think ken got some video I,ll have to see if he will post it

there were plenty of mishaps please don,t think it was a easy task just look at the hatch it had some overnight fiberglass repair but persistence payed off in the end

the df hulls have nice aero dynamics but so do alot of outher boats I don,t know if it couldn,t be done with with a H&M no step 2 with the right setup and balance

prop I think was a ABC 1818 I'll have to check my notes

[Flying Scotsman]

That is an amazing speed for that hull. The water must have been like glass. Congratulations

That is great speed Mike, you're definately a pro. Congrats on your record.

[DISAR]

This speed with a mono hull of that size is not easy to achieve. Very nice!
