It's a damn good job your one of a kind!!!

Hey bud ,rainbows are cool ,don't judge

 

[Rep732]

Alright alright back to business yea yea we can't control what our parents did for our birthdays as kids...

Whats everyone's opinions on engine sizes. I dig the j&g engines but I feel like I should get this boat going before I start looking at faster engines...trying to spread the money to everything I need rather sink it all on one hot ticket item

Btw I was the one who asked for it

I say go 30.5 zenoah...you don't need to go all out full race ported and lightened to start...mods are fairly cheap

 

[Rep732]

I've been leaning on the 30.5 port... from what I gathered its about rpm on the boats. And I agree I can always get a top end down the road for this engine

[Rep732]

Thanks coop I was looking at them and im going to go with insane-boats mono hardware kit with the stinger drive... and I just ordered drop engine mounts and a zen g300pum engine off gizmo motors... ddm wanted $265 and gizmo wanted 216... that extra 49 dollars pretty much got me and engine mount setup

 

[PortCityRC]

Are you going direct drive or using a clutch..remember that prop will f up everything in its path and won't stop...is my only fear with my boat

 

[Rep732]

Yea port i believe ill be using a clutch with a water pump...still intrigued on how the water pumps work...something like a pulse input from the engine?

 

[PortCityRC]

These will will definitely do some damage. This is beryllium. If you buy this prop, please take precautions and protect yourself properly if you choose to yourself.

Pulse port is a simple install of a fitting in the carb insulator block

 

[Rep732]

Sharp? And whats the deal with more blades on props? Seen 2-3-4 blades... id pretty much be racing the boat against itself for speed and no racing involved

 

[PortCityRC]

Very sharp! Different pitches and drives will make the boat launch out of the water or make it how quick it planes out. My 2 blade prop I have now is more of a race setup with a lot less water cut resistance.My OE factory prop is a 3 blade and will sacrifice on the top end, the 2 blade I will lose down low but have high top speeds which is what im shooting for because I'm running here on the open lake. The pitch rake and diameter are more tuning options..I havnt made got this deep yet until I start chasing numbers.

 

[Rep732]

This sounds like alot of props will be on hand ....not sure how props are picked with boat size and weight

 

[PortCityRC]

I'll try to find some of my reference info. Most my pdf info and saved pages are still on my old phone. Unfortunately I don't use a pc.

There's a good read

 

[Rep732]

Thanks port. As much as I wanted to go balls out this is my first boat and its a learning process with this one
