Actually the 49.9 mph was in the open class, Modified was 44.3, and stock was 39.
some very good numbers I think for all the classes

These are verified on the lights and are likely the best numbers out there. They are also two-way averages, which likely represent the best "true" speeds for a boat.
So it gives you pause when you see claims of 50 mph SVs!!!
I know for a fact that my SAWS speeds are lower than what my GPS says. Keeping a boat on the water for 2 consecutive passes really tells you what the boat is doing as opposed o the single virtually instantaneous max speed that a GPS records.
Oh, and I fixed the error in my previous post. Thanks for getting me straight on that.
Don't get me started
that is very true in testing before i went to the saws this weekend I ran 45.5 with my sv in modified trim with the gps and at the event that same setup only got me a 41.9 average. so the setup I used to set the 44.9 in the modified class was completly different. Im still surprised that the hull can handle 49+mph.
Mind sharing your set up? Motor/ESC/battery/prop???
My SV with stock gear on 4S1P / 25C 3300 / x440-3 runs GPS at 39.2 best speed. I figure it would be 35 - 36 on a true SAWS run.
Don't get me started
Sure I was running stock aquacraft motor and esc, 2-2s 7.4v 5000mah flightpower packs, and a prather 230
How did they define stock/modified/open??
Don't get me started
Sorry if I got the names wrong. I corrected the errant post. Regardless, that was a screaming speed for an SV!!!
Don't get me started
What modifications did "Open" allow?? Anything goes as long as it was an SV hull?
Don't get me started
Here are the rules for this past weekend and possible other races.
2. BOX STOCK. Just like the boat comes out of the box. For power ...any NiHm cells ONLY and you may upgrade your prop to metal as long as its a Grim Racer prop, only. Any adjustments are acceptable so long as they meet this general guideline.
3. Mod Class. must have Original boat hull and lid, SV motor, SV Strut and Rudder, any power - Lipo allowed. Plus any prop, any esc or radio. No restrictions on turn fin or tabs.
4. Open. Must have original Hull bottom and original lid. All else is legal. Be as creative as you can. Go Fast
Just the difference between GPS "max" speeds and the average of two passes on a 330 foot course.
Don't get me started
understood.
...not looking to debate. Especially since I wasn't able to attend, and bragging isn't really my thing.
...and unfortunately my fast "Open" SV doesn't have a class to race in since I have a bigger faster boat for Pmono this year.
Why am I not racing my bada$$ SV in Pmono this year? Because admittedly none of my boats is more difficult to drive than my SV going Pmono speeds, especially running an oval in 33" boats' wakes ...Taught me a ton about driving though.
Still...I'm bummed, I would've liked a chance to put my boat through the lights. Perhaps I coulda been a contenda...?
My sincerest congrats to all the record breakers!
Another great idea from Darin?!? How does he do it?
I officially second the motion.

i remember seeing a sv27 hull split in half and had about a half inch or so cut out and then put back together, looking really low profile.
I recently just signed up on this site as i have been reading for information on alot of rcs, and the reviews people write.
Im looking to buy a new boat, i now have a Traxxas Villian. When i first got the boat it was fast because i was new to boats. Now being a little more skilled, im looking for something FAST!!!!! BUT ELECTRIC
Ive been reading and reading about the AquaCraft SuperVee and the ProBoat Brushless formula fasttech. I dont know which one to buy, i have heard alot of things not so positive towards proboat, as well as the supervee27. They also look very close in speed, but ofcourse i would like to figure out which one is actualy fastest.
If anyone could help me with my decision, or if anyone has any kind of information that i may not know about i would appreciate the response.
SORRY ABOUT THE LENGTHY POST. ITS MY FIRST POST
Feifao 8xl, hydra 120A, k45 prop, 4S1P lipo= 46.4mph on garmin with witnesses
wow, other than a saw setup I am the fastest??? Nice thing is I can wip the corners like nothing. Im suprised there arent any faster than mine. I should put a 48mm prop on and prolly hit a nother mph or so.
Give this one a look:

I'm pretty sure he was talking about sv 27's in this forum.

Sorry about that. Had too many threads open and dropped this into the wrong one.
I've done 53.7 on GPS in oval trim in a club race. Ammo 2300kv and a 437/3 blade. No pics, but several witnesses, including the Neu-powered Delta Force driver that chased me until he passed me on lap 3.
Does that count?
obrien went 47.1 so far
The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.
we did 49.7 with and ammo 2600 and a grim 45x68, told my cousin that prop was to big...after a few runs poof...speedo and one 2s pack
