That motor could pull that prop just fine IMO
as long as your not running to wet

sdsds.jpgmiss geico.jpghi, miss geico, mystic and black jack is 27 ", 29" repeated mistake .
27" distance from the bow - sponson. (sling portion is not counted)
CG 27"/ 3 = 9" from the sponson CG 9"
strut closer to the sponsor is more stable catamaran

hey wanted to say thanks for the help..my blackjack ran great first race..was not down on speed at all..ended up blowing over in second heat..running in pspec limited with ul 1 motor and m445 prop..temps after heat are 108 for motor, 99 speedo and batteries are at 110..thinking about turning timing up..but don't think its needed..gotta work on the blowing over in rough water

What cells are you running to be able to turn an M445 for 4 minutes with a 2030KV UL-1 motor???

[rayzerdesigns]

Not for 4 minutes..This is in sprint cat..6 laps..As for cells i use 2 cell car packs..i haven't tried to run 4 minutes yet..gps test coming today..

Trying to post video..but no luck

Robert, that's my boat you referenced in post #171. I have only run it a few times since the mod but seems like a winner so far. You are correct about support, I used a pc. of marine ply to hold the t-nuts in place and add strunth.

what bracket is that..did u just make it yourself??

strut closer to the transom / sponsor is more stable catamaran

Did you make a cutout to move the strut and rudder closer in?

[rayzerdesigns]

hi, miss geico, mystic and black jack is 27 ", no 29" repeated mistake .
27" distance from the bow - sponson. (sling portion is not counted)
CG 27 "/ 3 = 9" from the sponson

I have +45 mph stable, 4S, aq1800kv, aq 60a and M445

I do not understand this at 6S, the hull is not perfect, needs lots of work

65+mph Mystic on 2S.... Stock Strut location. Basic Sponson blueprinting.

Every one of my Miss Geicos (2), Mystics (3), and BJ29's (1) runs with little to no "Wa-Wa", and all of them corner like they are on rails. Nothing special done to them outside of the general blueprinting of the sponsons, and basic setup and prop-work.

The boat is NOT perfect, but it's not anywhere near as dismal as you make it sound sometimes in your posts.

Based on the props I see people using, most likely straight up with a basic balance and sharpen, however, I can see why some have issues...

[rayzerdesigns]

wow Darrin..thats fast..im gonna go to one of the saw events in march..im sure I can learn a lot..my bj 29 is pretty dialed..no complaints from me..its been a big learning experience..but that's the fun part for me..u gonna be in az anytime

I was there , I saw How Darin adjusted his settings during those few days, I was totally blown away by the man's knowledge and meticulous attitude towards this hobby.
Come on down next time and witness how these great racers work.
Oh, by the way, it is called a SAW event. I do believe it broke a record as well! Namba has all the records and I am sure they will be happy to supply to anybody who doubts this.
