what are you guys looking for when you recomend me these hulls? how do you know they will stay in the water?
Hey "Eat..."
No one can point you to "THE" best hull to achieve your goals.
For the speeds that you are talking about with a boat powered with a brushless set up and lipo power, you want the following in a Hull:
- 29 to 43 inches long (Covers a bunch of em) Length & width in the proper ratio give better stability at speed.
- High strength hull (gas boat type fiberglass layup) My advice is don't get an ultralight layup or an ABS hull!
- Hull that runs a relatively flat angle of attack (1 to 2 degrees positive angle)
- A strong canopy, I have seen many FAST boats suffer catastrophic damage simple because the canopy caved in when the boat flipped or stuffed. the supplied canopy should fit well but may need reinforcement.
- Low frontal area that does not pack too much air under the bow.
Consider the total weight of all the gear + the hull and be certain that the hull offers sufficient displacement so that it will float when sitting still.
Many of the bigger hulls have the capacity to go 60 to 70, but stability at those speeds is really a function of how the boat is set up: Center of gravity, strut depth & angle, prop size, pitch and blade form.
What I am saying is; regardless of the hull that you select you are going to have to work (read here "tinker") with the set-up to get the speeds that you want.
If you do not have any FE experience, count on ruining a speed control or battery pack in your quest.
You have been given some good advice by knowledgable RC boaters. I am certain that you will achieve your goal if you listen to them.
Best of Luck!
