54" drambuie twin

[Azmarine]

I'm building my drambuie from the hull up, build is being documented but I'm having trouble the length from the end of my sponson to transom is 150mm I can't find a stinger drive that will put the prop just past it. Should I just have a custom prop dog made that is 15-20mm long? Help please builders with experience in large cats

Hey,

german manufacturer MTC produces different large powertrimms suitable for these big cat hulls including a type designed for the use on the 54" Drambui:

Ok so I'm going with the hor stingers they are 140mm and they are long enough, I've spoken with someone about his drambuie and they work with some milling. So once they're in ill get to work. Thank for the tips guys keep em coming I need the help.

The drives from MHZ will fit http://shop.mhz-powerboats.com/Antri...be-CT--03.html

For a rudder you can use a MHZ rudder http://shop.mhz-powerboats.com/Ruder...uder-Midi.html and shorten it like i did.

Hi
my drambuie on ice uses the MBP click drives
here http://www.mbp-rc.de/

great stingers, adjustable length and very well made.
HPR make adapters for these to fit their hulls... that's a good review !

So here's what I've ordered so far please tell me what I'm missing.
HOR stinger for 1/4" cable
4 large water outlets
2 dual pickups flush mount
1 150mm scale rudder
1 pair cowl locks
Pair of 8mm-1/4" collets
2 carbon fiber/aluminum motor mounts
2 1/4" drive dogs they might have been a bad choice as I haven't been able to get my drive cable due to unavailability.

I want to get thrust bearings from mhz, along with their tube supports. Tell me what I'm missing.

Just ordered my twin Proteus 524 monsters today, can't wait to see them next to my infantile excelorin 1/32 scale motor. Should be a nice day when they get here.

Great choice of hull - take your time with the build - here(OSE) is defenatly a great place for advice
this hull is the bomb!!! - - you should see some good speed out of this baby - Tip -make sure the drives are 100% parallel with the Hull or she will run like a dog

Good Luck
Scotty

[Azmarine]

Oh thanks,I'm trying to pace myself but YouTube makes me want it done ha. What do you mean parallel with the hull? Like zero degrees just flat in line? Like the pics above?

[Azmarine]

Well my twins cam in today, but I'm still waiting on my hardware and other parts.

[Azmarine]

S I've got my rudder in place, my stingers in place, my outlets in place, and inlets cut here's what I'm looking at thus far. The motors aren't mounted but they are monsters barely fit in the sponsons, I might have to go with another mount style. I'm opens to advice.

[Azmarine]

I think I'll tow her with my huge, monster, erevo.

[Azmarine]

And here after polishing. My first time I'm pleased with my work

[kingwrench]

My 2 cents, Double check your motor location, If you mount the motors there , way far forward your cg is going to be way off. Get all your equipment in the hull and experment, I think you will find your going mo move the motors back from where you have them in the picture.

[Azmarine]

Oh they're not mounted, I just put them in the hull for the photo, I think I need another mout style, like a bottom mount screw style. I'm still waiting on my stuffing tube, and flex cables. Plus I've got some carbon fiber to reinforce the hull.

[kingwrench]

No just make your own carbon mounts and mout the motor at the face, Make yourself a template of the inside of the hull after all equipment is in there place in relationship to the cg, Understand you can slide the batteries back and forward to make cg changes, I would start out at the extreme rear most cg say around 25% and be able to slide the batterys forward to obtain at least 29%.

Maybe this will help you to get some ideas https://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ie-on-ice-twin , latest video from the DIO https://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...-scorpions-10s

Well that was an awesome video, what was your speed? I noticed that you said about 3 minutes of ride time, I'm looking for more time as I'm not wanting to race it. I do like your motor mounts but my motors are pretty long. I'm not sure how to even create mounts like that.

And 4 minutes before on the same charge so 7 minutes total. The mounts are waterproof plywood with carbon/kevlar and long motors are possible just place them lower and on a different angle.

[Azmarine]

I'm thinking I might have to outsource on this, but it'll have to wait as I've spent a nice chunk so far, I want to have my cf laid pro and mounts too now, if I can't modify these some more

[Azmarine]

Either of you still have a template for your mounts, I don't know that I could accomplish those mounts on my own, or maybe walk me through making a template

[Azmarine]

Latest work got some cables with nuts in, built a shelf for the room, laid the carbon fiber. Waiting on a few parts

[kingwrench]

I will look for the motor mout templates I made for my boat, I made my mounts out a sandwiched hollow core carbon, that I use in race car fabraction.

Reviving a 11 year old thread. I acquired this boat a few months ago and finished it, hasn't been touched since this build thread. The boat hit the water for the first time yesterday.

Nice run . The boat looks beautiful.

ps. You should post a thread about that BlackJack42. That's pretty cool converting it to a twin.

That was a neat project, was actually my brothers boat. I split my miss gieco and he had a new blackjack hull. So a lot of my old miss gieco parts originally went in there, but they eventually wore out and got upgraded. Using sss motors and hobbywing escs now. It's been 94mph on stock miss geico props that I balanced and sharpened.
