JAE 21 Outboard Conversion

[carlnoki]

oh yeah babby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

guess what I am going to get when they become available? (evil grin)

what props have they tried so far?

 

[HOTWATER]

For nitro OB...how about a 1740/3?

 

[Kevin Krogness]

Since I have two mod outboards I can't run at the same time and only one tunnel I think I might have to look into one of these when they become available!!!!

i 6think ron is running an abc prop, but not an h series. maybe he will share. i ran a 1445 on my sundowner, had better speeds with more traditional rigger props, 1740's were slower. i need to add rear shoes to my ob conversion, went a slightly different route on converting my ib kit.........ron & dick's boats ran very well at the wtc, gonna be a good option for us ob guys B) !! thanx, joe.

The FE application would be a hoot for sure. I am pretty sure that is the way I would go.

 

[Doug Smock]

Put me on the list Mr. Petro!! I'm with Carl and David, we need to see what these do with Fast Electric power. Doug

 

[Blackout]

If I was to ever do FE, it would be on a O/B Zippkit rigger. It would be hard to beat in our local Open Electric class.

Joe, please count me in for a kit. I've been considering building an outrigger for some time now. But, I've wanted to build another OB boat even more. Now that I see I can do both, at once, you've got my attention!

Here's the thread I started when I started considered building an OB mono: http://www.intlwaters.com/index.php?showtopic=51500 But it looks like it'll be an OB hydro instead.

Im glad we converted you Danny. More outboards the better..........

Ron what prop where you running at the tunnel champs?

Thanks Shane

 

[David Santistevan]

Alright Joe enough with the teasing..... :wub: When can I get my boat? :blink:

 

[Danny Cruz]

As far as I can tell most outriggers run with the prop only halfway in the water... What effect does the cavitation plate on the outboard engine have on the prop and the boat's handling/speed?

Danny. The cavitation plate serves no purpose but to block the prop spray on an ob hydro. I trimmed mine to leave just enough to hold the water pick-up.

 

[Hayden Bright]

Yeah I want one of these. Very nice, I just love my outboards. There is a guy in our our club who runs and older outboard rigger hull with a stock OS and the first time he put it in the water it was a rocket, so I would imagine that they are fairly easy to set up. Sweet looking rigger from zippkits B)

I tried several different props. The extra lifter props 1700 and JG series like we used to run on the Sundowners worked the best. My boat was a test boat and once the ski height is adjusted to lower the transom of the boat, a 1400 series prop should be perfect.

 

[rumrunner]

Did you ever go as big as a h7

 

[Joe Petro]

We ran the following props with the stock OS:

X440/3

X442

X445

X447

1745

Zipp 444

The X442 and the Zipp 444 worked best. The boat seemed to like star tipped props over round tips.

The prop in the video was our $12.00 RTR 444 prop...

[RonShaw]

No. I had the same results as Joe above. I had the best results with lifter and tipped props. Rounded tip props such as the H7 didn't work as well.

Here is a video we shot of one of my ZippKits JAE 21 OB Hydro runs in initial testing at our local pond. This is a brand new NovaRossi that is rich, has many more runs to go to fully break-in, and the boat is still close to 60mph!!!!!.........
