That boat needs to be on my shelf.
Looking good doc.
Dont be so modest Paddy.. what you've forgotten aint worth remembering ( except perhaps those 2 blondes from Davenport, '79 .... ? )
No details for those Ive researched identify the 'finlets' , however Im willing to listen to cognizant reasoning for their inclusion.
Happy New Year's eve old chum ! .. and to all you watchers and lurkers too !

Rooster tail in the other lane looks better tho! Ohhhh yeahhhh!! SWEEEEEEEEET...... The spirit, bluebird etc had small "stabiliser" blades/fins running along the inside of both sponsons.I think bluebirds were almost the full length of the sponson. They also kept spray/wash out of the tunnel and more than likely increased sponsons hydrodynamic lift I tried a few types on one of my early riggers (also had a normal fin on one side) and it seemed to work well. Still cornered ok too. Wasnt really doing warp 9 like yours will tho.... crazy ideas and experiments sometimes turn into RACEWINNERS!!!. Follow that gut feeling my friend.... :-)
Im confused..... no...wait...mabee im not?
I started a couple of boats in 1/6 scale, the hydro is 38 inches and the Runner botttom or Flatty is 36 inches. I have the same dummy motor for them. I do put a little turn fin on the inside rear of the starboard sponson. On the 1/10 scale hydro it is about 3/8 X 3/8 of an inch in size.

This build is very interesting. Unique. If the hull is able to handle that power... Watch out!! Should be a rocket, W!
Thx Rummy.
Just stripped hull of everything strippable.
Preparing for surface prep then paint. . Very little to do, considering hull was made on a 42'c day (118f) it has a nice cure.
No $1400 paint jobs here ! will fire up the compressor and apply a few ice whites, followed by a couple clears to hold the decals.
Ditto the cowl when it arrives.
There,s a summer heatwave here. 40->42'c for the next week or more. . . . ideal for paint cure !

looking cool Doc, I crew chiefed, a Pro mod boat for several years. Was so of the most exciting racing I have done. The most laid back to, when I first starting tuning boats, Being a Pro Mod car crew chief I found myself wandering around with noting to do. Boats are so unlike the cars, Tear em down rebuild em, run and do it allover again. Boats throw a tune in her run it, drink a beer. With the car I went everywhere the car went, the starting line, the pass, the finishline, the pits<lots of time in the pits. Boats, Pits, launch, wave good buy, ramp, pits, have a beer!!

The fin helps keep the boat going stright, It also helps at slow speeds for turning. With out it.... it is like a fish with out fins on the forward 75% of it body. I have ran the 1/10 Hydro's a lot. The runner bottoms a little and more to come..... all just for fun.
Thanks Randy.
I'll knock up a micro turn fin for those straightline moments..

I like to have rear sponsonets on the drag hydros too make the boat much more stable launching.

Hey doc I see you changed your signature sometime in the last day or two. I wanted to ask you when you stated 110 mph fastest speed to date what was that the speed of. Thanks in advance.

You're confused.

I need one a bit smaller that only has the top half. I have checked a couple of places but no luck yet. I will watch the toy stores that has one on a cheap plastic car or truck.

it's reasonably robust plastic.. 1/16 -> 1/8 thick.
if you wanted to mount it on an active boat, buy several.. a spare motor for each race !

Some time this year I will be molding the 1/10 scale top parts blower injectors and valve covers (If you can not find the Parma on ebay). I make mine float and pick them up with the boat. It is a little more realistic in crashes.
