    My SV in action

    just some quick pics from the other night.
    SV27 race prepped, stock motor & esc
    two 7.2 3000mah venom batteries
    JR radio equiptment



    The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

    Wow! That looks good. What kind of prep work did you do?
    What prop?

      all the hardware was removed off the transom adjustments were made and they were reinstalled with silcone. the hull was blue printed, and the c/g (balance point) was adjusted (the battery boxes were completely remove in favor of velcro, and the c/g is about 3" fwd of stock). those pics were with the grimracer 42x55 two blade metal prop

              Yes I will be the cat killer. (obrien and I know Reggie and the cat killer boat well, he was on a fountain team pit crew)

              my best friend (obrien) has a blackjack, stock for stock we are a even match so we'll see what a modded future brings.

              the pics were taken with a cannon digital XT and a 300mm zoom lens

              my best freind was opperating the boat.

                just like our cars and full size boats, we can't leave well enough alone. We will make these faster just like everything else we get ahold of. I will do my best to represent the Blackjack crew and hold off the SV as best I can.

                As far as the real cat killer goes. that boat is sweet and very fast. I was clocked in a race at over 180 mph.

                    The boat in those pics are running with crappy venom 3000 6 cell ni/mh batterys? WOW!!!! I have an old set of those and my SV shuts off from low-volt cut-off or something if I go over 3/4 throttle and mine are rebuilt s x s with deans connectors, noodle, and bars. But your boat seems to be going pretty well. Pictures are decieving though. Lets see some video!

                      The shots look great, but how did you get it up on plane with the Venoms

                      Otherwise, great looking boat, great looking pics

                        my venoms no longer works, they lasted about 20 runs now they are junk.
                        my trinity 4200s are also on the way out I have one dead cell out of 12.
                        I am going lipo but it will be a while before I can fund it.
