Hope to solve my straight line issues by blueprinting the hull and removing some pretty severe hooks. Srislash recommended 3M glazing putty for the task. I put on 4 coats, sanding with 220grit in between each coat, and did a final sand with 400grit. Still have a few low spots around the end of the strakes that I'll try and build up tomorrow morning on round two. This was my first attempt at blueprinting a hull. Not too hard, just messy.

Use a decent primer Ryan, well just hit it with primer. You are likely to have the odd pinhole/air bubble and they are easiest to deal with at with primer

Will do. Too cold for paint work at the moment so that step will be a while.

Afternoon Guys, Newbie here, Just bought a Voracity, still stock, running 6s. I found in a box from years ago an X442R, and an X437/3. Can either of these be used on this stock boat without burning up anything? And is there a forum thread that can explain to me how to calculate props for myself? Thank you for your time.

The X437/3 is really to small a prop on a 36" boat, the x442R prop is of the wrong rotation ( clockwise rotation ). You can't run the motor in the clockwise direction as the flex shaft is not wound for clockwise rotation, if you try running it in that rotation you will unwind the flex shaft.

More like a 447/3 on this boat

Yep, good prop on this boat.

Thanks Guys, I will pick up a 447/3 soon

There's the rub, the Octura version is hard to find as the mold has been broken for some time now. You can get a 450/3 and have it cut down to 47mm, with a little more pitch than the 447/3.

I am running the Leopard 4092 1730kv motor w/ABC 2214-10-50(2) prop polished by Dasboata with my new Turnigy 180A ESC. I installed new adjustable trim tabs & turn fins from RCBB. With my GPS I am getting right around 60mph and the boat completely loses control and constantly shoots to the right at high speeds. I measured the new trim tabs and they are both level to each other and they are set just a mm or two down to help dig in. Any idea why this setup it making my boat go way to the right? The radio and rudder trim is calibrated to 0 but I have to hold the steering way left to keep the boat straight. At full plane/fast speed it shoots way off to the right. Arrover ran this setup on youtube with an off the shelf prop and got 72mph with no mentioning of the boat raking to the right at any speed. My boat should have been faster than his with Dasboata smoothing mine. Any ideas? I will try my previous Octura x452 prop on the new setup this weekend but last I checked I couldnt get past 58.2mph.

My Voracity pulls a little to the right and even after I make adjustments on the radio it still pulls. I started to look at the stock rudder and noticed it's not perfectly straight.. but a bit off when they drilled the holes
from the factory. Did your boat pull to the right at all before these mods? I can't imagine the trim tabs causing it.. I also have aftermarket trim tabs I bought off here.. the expensive aluminum ones.
