Honestly that boat is anything but average. It is exceptionally fast and stable. It is essentially a 90 Roadrunner nitro rigger of an proven design for years adapted for gas. Glides over the water, turns like a nitro rigger with the same stability. Don has done his work and did it very well. It was absolutely outstanding better than any gas rigger than I have seen yet. The real challenge is for anyone to try and match it!

 

[Don Ferrette]

Well thank you John, most kind of you sir.

 

[Mike Byer]

Would someone get that brown spot off of John's nose please.

I like the old cowl. It's all good! Had to put in my 2 cents worth. It is the best, fastest, smoothest rigger here in District 12 so far. Good luck at the nats.

I thought that was the old cowl. :blink:

I must tell you I saw Don run his rigger at the gas NAts this weekend and I have to pay him a compliment,not only can he drive but his boat was flawless. If my district ran this class I would definately purchase one from him. This boat handles what ever was thrown it's way. And Don can tell you the race conditions not easy. Jerry

 

[Mike Byer]

So Don, tell us all about it.

Don, would you share some prop sizes that have worked for you.

Sure! 1667 pitched up, H50, 6717/3, 6518/3 all worked well. The 1667 pitched was the fastest (by a little) but the 6717/3 was the smoothest overall to drive, just about as fast as the 1667. B)

Yup ! :lol:

Don,

You need to try a 2716 with a 15 degree rake, or a 2816 reduced a touch.

Have Fun,

I finally got a chance to run the Jag/Zenoah that I have been working on, I must have a little more smoke in my motor than you do, I worked my way up to a 2176/3, and I feel like it would pull some more. 6717-18-19 all ran out of acceleration too quickly out of the corner. I have a group of 1475's with several different pitches from the low to mid 6" range that I need to try next time, but for now , so far so good. Run your's any since the gas nats?
