      when i painted my boat i only sprayed clear coat on the top.. not bottome.. the bottom is much more rough than the top.. i have also had a boat that was all clrea coated.. it seemed to have a lack of speed and performance.. i think that a rough hull is better imo.

        I sanded my sv s bottom sometime ago. It is true that a sanded bottom performs much better. I ve done almost the same mods to both my SV 27 and BJ 26.

          Yet at the beginning of this thread you argue and argue slick and smooth is faster??? What facts do you yourself have to state one way or the other? GPS?? Video?? You say in one post you used a gps GUN for speeds? Ive never heard of gps gun. Perhaps it was a infrared heat gun and the water temp was 64 degrees. These contradicting statements should honestly stop and let the truth come out. Im glad you are here on the forum and into these boats but you may discourage some coming in by stating things that are not true and they may NEVER see those speeds with the same exact equipment you are running. Even if you are obtaining these speeds with this equipment it is not safe and dependable in mostly everyones opinion. Thanks for letting vent and hope you take it from here!

            I think Hex is about 13 to 16 years of age and he's just having a sweet ole' time messing with most of us...

                    Just thought it fit in pretty good to the general theme here. Sorry to twist on your panties.

                      You did notice that what i wrote was a quote from a certain repeat offender didnt you??? Perhaps i didnt do the quotation process correctly.

                        Nah, you did o.k on that one mate.
                        This topic is one I come back to each evening for a f....in good laugh.
                        The whole idea of feather weight this and carbonite that plus "hallowed"( read: reduced strength ) is all bollocks.
                        Moving, modding and reducing stickers just costs me a new set of undies each time I read it.
                        GPS readings are good, but not fool proof or formidably accurate. They give an idea of changes in setup.
                        A very well know FE boater once said that the true speed of a boat is measured over a 300ft pass......twice !!

                        I really hope this thread continues as it is a fantastic read. Fantasy is the operative term here.

                        btw. I can not comment on the reference to the car as I know bugger all about RC cars other than I have seen a few that are dead set fast !!

                          My MPH results using the OSE charts

                          Hello! Well everyone take a look at the OSE chart and tell me if theres anything wrong about it...by the way all the charts in here (OSE) point to the same results after I input the info of my gear... OSE SV 27 EP MPH pic. of what I am supposed to be doing with the gear I have. LOL ,Can anyone please elaborate as to why a GPS, the charts here or a radar gun could be wrong? I know nothings perfect or 100% accurate. I am starting to think that I shouldnt let my self guide from any of those right? The results in the pic read 51 MPH. LOL
