Awesome Sir!
I had the opportunity to check out one of these hulls recently and was very impressed with the quality and finish. If I ever get the urge to build a hydro, this would be the one.
"There's nothing else I really want to do other than get up and build boats." - Mike Fiore
Thanks Joel. The FE30 derives its pedigree from the world-class line of big gas racers at Insane Boats - Jeff is a perfectionist and the lessons learned from his big boats filters down to the FE models. At the just-run FE Nationals, an FE30 took class First Places in both P-Ltd Sport Hydro AND P-Sport Hydro

Tony, as usual, what a wonderful build! Looks awesome! Love that water outlet! Man, that boat handles like a Ferrari.
That hull looks fast and stable. I have seen a lot of very loose boats in this class. Half do not finish heat.
It's been said that, theoretically at least, ride-pad hulls don't do well in the rough. 100_0112.jpg

Dave wants to race P-Ltd. with the option of changing motors to go P-Sport. Narrowed the T-180 to allow 4S2P batteries to fit beside the ESC. A .150 cable with teflon is installed with the option of pulling out the teflon and putting in a .187 cable I supplied trimmed to fit to "convert" to the P-Sport configuration with a bigger motor..

Sharp blue hull. Dave special-ordered early-style cowl instead of later model turbine cowl.

To replace his last one that "got away", Dave had me build this gorgeous ballistic missle. A TP Power motor, T-120, and Dinogy 65C/130C 2S 5000's and considerable attention to detail including carbon/kevlar inlays this should be entirely capable of low-earth orbit

Looks good Tony!
What size motor and kv?
.NAMBA20...Caterpillar UL-1, P-Spec OM29, P-Mono DF33, P-Spec JAE, Aussie 33" Hydro-LSH, Sprintcat CC2028 on 8s, PT SS45 Q Hydro, PS295 UL-1 power, OSE Brothers Outlaw QMono 4-sale, Rio 51z CC2028 on 8s
Any inside pics? How much harder is it working on the smaller hulls?
Looks good tony
Motor : TP POWER 2935 6Y 2270KV
It seems that the small hulls take much longer ; this one took 3 weeks (but it was worth the extra time - I'm really proud of this build)
Thanks Mike !

You do great work Tony. I hope Jeff hasnt shipped my hull already so you can get mine ready for me.
Steve's crossing over to the "sparky" side. His MM V2 should be a great start.
TP Power 4050 3Y 2220KV ; T-180 ; 4S2P ; Spd hardware. I kept the layout super sanitary
(Steve'll add his own graphics)

guess ur gonna have to build my mean machine for me
Steve's next entry into the "sparky" side : A P-Ltd Sport FE30. This green on black hull is so strikingly bright that Steve'll need sunglasses just to look at it (pictures don't do it justice) - I think there's Kryptonite in the gelcoat

I configured the layout to allow a single 4S 5000 in front of the ESC or 2 X 2S 5000's in series

Graphics will be added soon

I like how you put flotation in every possible spot. Must come from experience.
