Thanks. Still need to get it dialed in but yeah, I'm very happy with the boat right off the bench.Goes quite well gotta be happy with that
Thank you. I wanted to do something different and liked the snake skin design so I tried out hydro dipping for the first time. Very easy to do and inexpensive compared to airbrushing.Nice Job. Looks good. I like the snake skin design.
Thanks Andy. I've been running your rudders on my gas sports and riggers for quite some time now as I've found they perform the best compared to others. So if you got any laying around let me know! Could use some spares, single and double pick ups!Love the snake! Great running boat! Solid!
That was a stock ABC 2719/2 38 bar. However, the boat seemed a bit flighty even with the fin adjusted to dig in a bit and a slightly negative strut setting. I'm gonna try a prop with around a 15 degree rake and see if that settles it down. If not enough, I'll move the fuel bag into the nose instead of behind the engine.Thanks for the good report on our rudders Scott!
We are slowly ramping up on rudder production again.
What prop did you run on the Ellison boat on the first test day. Looked pretty solid and quick!
Good boating,
Andy
Thanks for the compliment Brad. I bought the diy kit from https://www.mydipkit.com/shop/ They have tons of cool designs and the kit comes complete with everything you need.You have the cowl and hatcges hydro dipped? Looking great on the water!!

I looked up his name under members and checked some recent posts. I found this post from June of 2021 :Hi looking for info on Dan Ellison gas hydro. Like to purchas one anyone have dan contact info thank you
Good eye Todd. Yes, it's the same 1/2" offset pipe I had you do for my Whiplash. Never had an issue with the springs clearing the deck but your suggestion would certainly give it a little more room.Scott
It looks like an offset header? Is it a 1/2 inch like the Backlash/Whiplash boats use? Also would it be better to put the header hooks at 1 and 7 o'clock or 2 and 8 to help clear the upper deck? Looks real close for the bottom spring.
Todd
Boat looks good, Scott!
