TFL Hobbies "Popeye" Hydro: P-Sport Hydro

[Jlov]

I have my Popeye hull on its way!! I was able to find one at Ampeaterracing.com. They have gel coated white hulls for only $120 and Tom Castellani was kind enough to bare sub zero conditions in Michigan this morning to ship it to me only hours after me paying for it. He is a gentleman and a scholar for sure. I will use this great thread on the Popeye to aid me in my build. Cant wait and thx for all the great advice already from Tim and Chris. I will def take the short trip to you Chris and do some racing when its done. Thx Jeff

I'll set it up to run perfectly on ice!

[ron1950]

it would probably come back with maple leafs on it aah?

[Doby]

You could be so lucky, but more likely it would have checkers on it!

Hey Chris, have a question for you. I bought the rudder with dual pick up like you suggested. My question is do the two water lines that come in thru transom come to a t-fitting (like one in pic) once they are inside hull? Ive tried to look at all the pics you posted but can not see how water lines run inside your hull. Thx Jeff

nothing wrong with checkers...after all u are the master of the checker board boat

[ron1950]

jlov...with two water lines into the boat the easiest is to run one to the esc and out the side and the other to the motor cooler and out....no plumbing nightmere no need for drano or a t bar...

[Jlov]

Lol Ron.....So I will have two water outlets then, one on each side of hull? Thx Jeff

I have the same front plate, but I don't route water in it, mine is running cool and especially I have a single water pick up, I don't want the water to go thru this. It goes to ESC and then motor jacket, then out. Most direct heat transfer.
I understand if you run two lines then this can be used.
