Steve, you need a new forum! Proboat Stiletto

[Raydee]

I have been dying to try a outboard...looks like this may be a contestant.

[Jeff Wohlt]

Wonder what the OB will cost as an item?

[Darin Jordan]

Standard K&B sized (.150) flex.... The lower unit is VERY solid... Designed to hold up to the power. I think most will be very impressed, and will also like the mounting system.

You can see a parts breakdown on the website.

This is great news!! Congrats Darin and Proboat!!!

Nice work!

Finally a good OB motor! The hull looks sweet and certainly seems it can take more power from the video I saw.

I'll get some pics posted of the outboard from a Production unit as soon as mine gets here. Should be next week or so. It's quite a nice piece that I think you'll find nicely adaptable...

I see about $123 with the cover

Wow... that is a good price... You won't believe how good of a price that is until you see this thing in person. That's great!

I didn't look, but make sure that includes the mount as well... it all has to be used together... Other mounts won't work.

Oh, and I think the cover is made of fiberglass... unless they changed it since the last version I saw. It's all really a very nice unit!

Now to wait and see what you guys are going to do to this poor boat to gain even more speed and performance...

performance question

Hi Guys,

In the demo video they show the boat running in a clockwise direction, however the actual Formula 1 Tunnel Hulls and similar classes run in a counter clockwise direction. Is the Stilletto set up to run a specific direction for FE racing or do you think it will run in both directions equally well. I cannot see any sort of turn fin on the bottom of the hull that would impede the performance in either direction.

On a side note: this boat looks fantastic and looks like the real thing even sitting still. I can not wait to get one. It is about time someone put together a good tunnel hull.

Thanks,

Rob

Except for a couple clubs in Washington, all oval model boat races are primarily right-hand-only turning. That is why you see it that way on the video.

When I was driving the prototype, I was able to turn well in both directions. It surprised me how well it turned left. However, the hull is asymetric and is set primarily for right-hand turning.

this is great!

Wow, Very cool. Great work Darin! Can't wait to get one of those outboards.

The add says you use two 2s packs . Can you use a single 4s instead, or will it effect the handling of the boat ?.
