You said your balance point is at 12"...Do you mean from the transom or from the back of the sponson?

Get a pool noodle and cut it in half long ways the lenght of you lipo's and wedge it on top of them between the upper deck to keep them from any movement, just the velcrow could let them bounce a little and give the boat a slight upper jolt.............like your style bro ! Your trying to provoke a speed war....HaHaHa !!!

I start at the very rear where the rudder mounts.

**LarrysDrifter** · 03-01-2011, 11:06 PM

You should measure from the rear of the sponsons.Same place where a stinger would mount if it were a twin drive.

I was just thinking if the hull was not square the very rear of the boat would be the best place to start from.

what kind of rudder is on there??

Is from Fine Design.

84 mph with a Leopard 4082 doesnt compute in my little brain...

In theory all he needs is 6S and a v942/3 prop to get there. It would be a SAW-only setup and would stress the ESC (what ESC is he using?), but it is possible in theory. I doubt the boat could set a record but it might hit 90 on the GPS....but not with the CG so far back.....

I will show you how i balance my boats. First you need to run the boat and find a good spot to start from. Then make a mark on the boat where you balanced it at. Run the boat and check your speed. Now move the batteries only a 1/4 of a inch at a time. This might take some time to find your best balance. Also your prop angle needs to match your balance. Think of your prop as if its drawing a straight line. If your prop angle is to high, you will have a nice rooster but this will not be the fastest setup. This might help some of the less experienced.

Big LOL............

Make sure you have continuous vid of the run with the GPS in the boat so we can see this fast boat perform up to your expectations...................

Nice Yamaha!!!

**Howard Lee** · 03-02-2011, 12:41 PM

What is the fastest that someone has got this hull up to? 70mph

**LarrysDrifter** · 03-02-2011, 12:46 PM

Me,that I know of.75mph and ran out of water. No air dam. It's the silver cat in my avatar.

**Howard Lee** · 03-02-2011, 01:45 PM

Do you have a video at that speed? I just want to see how it rides the water.

**johnson22456** · 03-02-2011, 01:48 PM

It's on the last page of his build thread, a few post down from yours.

**LarrysDrifter** · 03-02-2011, 01:49 PM

Last page of my build thread. It's titled Larrys 32" twin cat. It rides great and doesn't blow over. I don't know center of gravity. It's way forward though.

**Brushless55** · 03-02-2011, 08:12 PM

**keithbradley** · 03-02-2011, 09:21 PM

So are you running a pair of 5s lipos in this? I have a pair of 4s stuffed in mine and had to cut the hatch opening to get them in there. Yours must be a little bit friendlier shape for this hull.

**LarrysDrifter** · 03-02-2011, 09:39 PM

Turnigys 4s 4000mAh fit in the sponsons,Keith.5000's won't though. I assume you have them on the tunnel floor,but lower in the sponsons is better.
