New Eagle 67 ready for testing

[Tom Foley]

I got this boat from HappyBradBoating as an 80%-90 % kit and finally finished it . Tweaked it a little for more strength in the tub area . Hoping to test today . BTW the T-Mod muffler usually used on Gas boats was lighter than a few of the other mufflers i had so i made a bushing to go on the pipe to fit the muffler . Very simple Imron paint job as this is a battlewagon not a shelf queen !!

Sweet!

Tom,

H-32's run very well on that set up.

I still have some if you need any?

Boat or cowl needs a Violator Racing Engines decal.

Nice clean build.

Have Fun Testing,

Mark Sholund

Nice to see that Eagle's survive.. still have my 45 and 67 running strong with Mac's..........I would suggest H 38 for the .67 too.

Good boating

Tom looking to your pics I would strongly suggest another screw on the right rear boom due to extra G's of the fin.

Well it's got 3 - 8-32's now and the CMDI fins are 7075 , pretty tough .

Curious,

Look good but Black CMB67 tuned pipe will be fair because sometime no power( dislike run corner) so use best Brown 67 Parabolic pipe great powerful and fast . GOOD LUCK!!

Gill isn't talking about the turn fin, he means the boom tube. We always put two bolts in the right rear boom attachment on the 67/80 boats.

Leaving for the race now Brad , i'll send you some pics from today ! Wish me luck with her !

 

[Tom Foley]

Well all I can say is the boat ran great right off the bench set up with "Eyeball -engineering" , no measurements of any kind !!! I made a miniscule strut adjustment reccomended by Andy Brown who came to the race and cut 3/4 " off the rudder. Using my oldest stock Mac 67 Silverhead version engine and Fat Belly CMB pipe , the boat ran as good as any other at the race with a Sholund H- 32 prop . I am very happy with the boat !

Tom, I'm getting ready to start testing the same boat/motor. What length did your rudder end up at? Thanks
