5-1/4 to 5- 1/2 pounds will be more realistic. Our boat is 4.6 with a K&B 7.5 which is 6 ozs. lighter than the Italian engines. Also we are using a .21 pipe and micro rudder and strut. All stuff that might break.

Be sure to do some glass work in the tub. It will greatly increase the life of the hull. Drill all necessary holes and enlongate the boom holes in the side of the tub so that the front sponsons can be adjustable. Do all of that before you complete your sealing process.

Strut an rudder for HDR 65 ARRIVED

 

[Andy Brown]

Ken,

Looks like you are making good progress on your builds!

I posted some fiberglassing pics and notes on Greg Hahn's "Fiberglassing How Too" thread in the "How Too" section. Greg has a great video there.

Thanks AndyIll check out that thread tonight , Strut an rudder will work great . Just wondering the round shape strut do you think it pulls down under speed .take a spoon turn your tap water on and the back part of the spoon place it near the water as it's coming out the faucet note what happens when the round shape just touches the water I'm wondering if the same effect happens to the strut.

Hello Ken, You plan on using a ski box or rear sponsons on your 91 outrigger?

I'm sure it has the same effect. That does not mean a round strut is a bad thing. Some boats like round some like flat. Some boats can not tolerate the extra lift that a flat strut would provide. I use both depening on what the boat likes best. Some of the world's fastest current speed records are held with boats running round bottom struts.

thanks for your building tips Andy, a big help.

[A] When you guys are speaking of weight this would be "total mass", including- hull, engine/mount, fuel tank, radio gear, all hardware, paint/finishing (a completed hull)?

Do you only elongate the front sponson boom holes typically (for adjustment)?

DavidTotal mass

and elongate the holes on the tub was for adjustment purposes

Sturt is mounted it appears I must relief the transom edge of strut to get any angle. That will make it weaker.

Thanks. What I was getting at was are most folks elongating primarily the front boom holes? Or, both, front and rear?
