What do you want to do with the boat? Race it in a specific class, or just playing around?

I like the 5 inch offset rudder and strut vs stinger: used stinger in the past but have changed these to strut, which I feel is a tad faster / better handling.

It depends if it is a pioneer or older style. for the pioneer there is an ignition plate with a recess so it will clear the bulge of the cast cylinder. Then you also need to use the old keyway ( not the pioneer one) as your ignition tming would be 90 degree off... I bought a second hand QDP...

Bigger prop is not always better. Sometimes a tad smaller prop that rev's over peak hp is better: I have had good luck with a pitched up 2814-2 and also 3014-2 worked seem to work well on riggers

If looking for a 165 cm version ( 64 inch) Cesa 1882 on the German forum there is a thread. Cad data is already available as they made teh drawings the past year. Many pages to go over and in German ( you might even have to register to view)...

Make it as simple as you can: 1 engine per drive and you don't have to worry on cases breaking, losses in gearboxes etc. The speed of these hulls with drives aren't lightspeed: they just look cool and that is what you should expect of it cool looks, but don't count on speed: I see in the...

Did you source him to make your patterns for the molds?

Sorry pressed submit but wasn't ready: To show what is possible: a gecko was even converted to methanol 0,8 cc by curt conrad. ( you might need to be a member of X-treme forum) http://www.xtremercboats.com/phpBB/download/file.php?id=55642 As for the engine: use outrunner, no cooling needed...

Sorry only know of european sources but might give you inspiration. I think your best bet would be to look at MHZ Gecko boat. The size is similar and I think you'd be surprised how much you can stuff in. Including a brushless engine ans small lipo pack... Unfortunately no scale drives the...

Very interesting idea. Curious to see how it will behave on teh water and what speed you get out of it..

That springed box looks trick to get things nicely squared up and good pressure.

Glad you could make it the world champs, great meeting you all. Hope you enjoyed and again congrats on the prizes!!!

Cool, how much do these things sell for? Can't find them here

Did you take any pictures to share with us?

Congratulations to Roman!!! ( and you Al) Added difficulty this year were the very warm conditions of nearly 40 degrees. Many guys had troubles getting their engines run right, including some manufacturers teams, so it makes the winner special. Frank's webcam suffered from this heat and gave up...

And it's working again. Thanks for posting/ hosting. Seems to be much less participants than in previous years...

I know Joe, but Lazers are more for endurance and heat racing, while the seaducer also has very short strakes and a proven track record. Lazer 45 does not get very much higher then 60 no matter how much you tweak, expect more from the little 60/80 (in SAW smaller is better). Here are the...

For some time I have been looking for a cheap Seaducer to convert to a SAW mono gasser. Choice for seaducer is obvious as it is about the fastest mono you can buy with many SAW records. I don't want to spend too much on the project, so decided to buy a used hull and no special light lay-up...

Finally, I tought you would never restart and finish it Paul.

J&G is 26 cc I think. Would try ABC 2818, 2914, 2716-3, Octura V967-3 or 2170. It all depends what you want heatracing 2716-3 or worked 2914 are fabulous.
