The HV Fantasm performance vids

[srislash]

The boat hung a left as it skipped off the water and impacted upside down on the hatch. Of course one the ONLY cluster of three rocks on the entire beach. The result:



There were a few scrapes on the clear coat so a good healthy wetsanding of the hull was necessary(been wanting to refresh it anyway)as well as repairs and beefing up to the hatch. So two weeks later and VOILA:

[kfxguy]

Man you lucked out!

[srislash]

Man you lucked out!

Yes, absolute not a scratch on any hardware. I think the one prop must've skimmed some sand but that was it. It is fine.

[dmitry100]

Man... you caught some crazy air time in the last vid. The damage is from that vid right? Any water get in?

Can you post some pics of the inside of your hatch and the hull hatch area? I'm about to add hatch bolts to mine... wanted to get some ideas :)

[srislash]

No water in there Dmitry. And you wanted some ideas and pics, here are the blind nuts on the hull



These are the bolts with which I lathed a slot in for E clips to hold them on.




And the full bottom shot of the hatch. I use pins up front into the hull, closed cell door stripping for the seat and those chunks of closed cell foam are strategically placed to help hold batteries in place in the event of a crash(very important) should one occur, haha.

[srislash]

Oops, the foam and full hatch

That was one heck of a crash. The boat looks fantastic all redone, you really did get lucky on that one!

Hey buddy, glad to see you here. Yup, dodged a bullet there.

So whats the max mph that thing is clocking on the gps nowadays? Still running the TP 4050's?

Still same motors and had 102mph with the ABC 1815's pal. It's ready to go just waiting on weather and time to be good.

[dmitry100]

Thats a huge prop! Here I thought 1715's was too much for them... How much max watts you pushing on those 4050's?

[srislash]

The props on it at the time of the airtime vid are 1915's. I have been keeping a 47mm size prop and just changing pitches and rakes. I think with my PropShop 4717's I was pulling 4500-5000 watts.

[srislash]

So after a recovery period she is back with a vengeance folks

So I had trials and tribulations on this day(sun in my eyes) but mustered 114.7 mph! A new best

Great job Shawn...

[kfxguy]

Awesome! You need a longer area to run in!
