Genesis catamaran ???

[lomdel]

Please post a Genesis twin conversion thread. I would love to see what hardware, mounts and methods you guys employ to do this conversion.

[Alfa Spirit]

This is not a conversion I bought the hull painted with stickers, no hardware no motor and no hole in the hull

[tiqueman]

I think it would work just fine. Just remember, the less volts and more KV, the higher the Amp draw will be. Id think youll be 130ish on Amps with that set up on CR 442s.

This Genesis catamaran is a real beauty

[Rumdog]

What are your speed goals? It is a pretty big boat.

[Rumdog]

I want one. Bare hull. Not even painted.

[Rumdog]

Does anyone know if stingers will fit on the sponson transoms yet?

[Make-a-Wake]

This may help...................?

[Rumdog]

Got a shot looking straight at the transom?

[Alfa Spirit]

Please can you give me this?

There's not much room for a strut hanger on the transom. Looks like if you took the rudder and moved it over, only 3 holes would line up with fiberglass.

Thanks for the shots guys! Yikes, not sure what stingers may work with this hull.

[Alfa Spirit]

Thank you very much, the stinger must be 120mm / 4,7" long

[FighterCat57]

Thanks for the shots guys! Yikes, not sure what stingers may work with this hull.

45mm wide sponson transom
24mm tall distal sponson transom
38mm tall medial sponson transom
99mm sponson transom overhang

It's not looking good for stingers. It's looking like struts, however the transom doesn't have enough room for all 4 bolts if using the same size strut hanger as installed stock.

Also note, the transom is not straight, it is convex curved.

I think that it will be very difficult to find 102mm long stingers for the Genesis.
In that case I' ll use 3/16" Metal Drive Shaft well glued in the hull and a flex between the motor and the metal shaft

[Jesse J]

so you adjust the drives from inside?

[Make-a-Wake]

Hey Jesse, i think he will have fixed shafts that can sit low by using the flex couplers inside.

[Dragonturbo3]

Could you extend the sponson (Spelling?) on the outside?

[Steven Vaccaro]

so you adjust the drives from inside?

Yes, the newer Jolly Cat drives are adjusted from the inside.

yes you can! my 29" mono home made drive line is just like that!
tu veux la même en français Alain?

[Jeff Wohlt]

So how do you adjust from the inside? I thought they were epoxied in. It would be nice to see an inside pic. I had this set up on several monos and it seemsed fine. Even if they are not adjustable...it is not hard to get them set with a slight neg angle and would be fine. Then just adjust the CG with cells.

[Alfa Spirit]

Do you know where to buy stingers long enough for Genesis hull, parts like MHZ but cheaper

[FighterCat57]

That's a nice setup Alfa!

Why not just use dual struts?

you've got to find someone who can make it for ya!...

[tiqueman]

Yeah Ive searched extensively and all the ones long enough have too large a mounting surface and will not work. Your more than likely going to have to scratch build something or run some type of struts. Personally, Id go the scratch stinger mounts, struts and twin cats just dont mix.

I have one of those on a mini rio. Those are waay too small. For micro set ups.

[justintime2w8]

I am thinking rcmk hydrolift 1100mm hardware, struts and rudder. Mr. Park said they should fit.

[tiqueman]

HYDROLIFT!!! I didnt even thin of that. Great call Justin! Did you get specs on the stingers? Mount plate dims and lengths.. could be on the website.. I havent gone yet...
