seaducer 15 Mono

[Jerry_Crowther]

Seaducer is planning on making a 12 or 15 size mono. I was thinking about 26 or 27 inches. I would like some feed back on what size you guys would like to see.

Also is there a intrest in the class?

Cool i would like to see this a ducer for a 15, maybe cram a 18 in there.

I would say a .21 monos 30, So about 26 long.

Light-weight at that length would be great. A hardware package to match is what I'd like to see B)

 

[Watercadet]

That would be great Jerry! Put my down for one! I think that both NAMBA and IMPBA have classes for motors up to .1299 or so. If you built a boat for that size we would love to overpower it with a .15 or more I have a .15 powered mono with a surface drive. It is 24" and is way too small. I think a well designed 26" + boat would be HOT!

Jerry, I would be interested in one also. 26 inches would be good.

Are you going to be able to make it to Valdosta for Speedweek II (Dec 27 - Jan 2)? I would like to see you set some more records!

Hello Jerry,

At 26" you have an opp to cross over with electrics if you do light lay ups. I know the 29" ran well.

Guys,

If I recall correctly what Jerry told me in April, the SD3 was 30". The new version is now 33", rides smoother and is faster than the 30" as the profile is much different. Was also thinking about 25" -26". Any longer will make it underpowered unless a .18 is in it. Just a thought.

Jerry,

I was thinking a little smaller. 18" was too small. But plenty fast. Got any prototypes?

 

[Jay Boyd]

Jerry,26" sounds good to me! It would be a sweet .12 hull & electric.

 

[Ron Olson]

I have to go with the other guys, 26" would be a good length. I have a 24" which is kind of small and tight in places. I've seen on other sites where others would like a decent hull in to dump the parts from their broken boats such as the Miss Bud into. A small Seaducer would have them knocking you doors down! A hardware package to go along with it would be great also. We need something to help us kick the "A" mono class in the rear to get it going, your hull might be what is needed.

Your air channel on the deck plus the low profile would make it great for the air-cooled engines.

 

[Jerry_Crowther]

Ok I will go with a 26 inch boat. I have the drawings almost done. Now on the hardware do you use 3/16 shaft or a 1/8 shaft. I am new to the small stuff.

Also what do you think the speed would be I am guessing 30 mph?

What motors are you guys using so I can get one to start testing.

Jerry

 

[Watercadet]

Sweet Jerry! I use the .130 cable (.125 hughley) and 3/16 prop shaft of course. I think that the larger cable would be just more drag and these motors are not putting out that much HP IMO. The .12 Nova Rossis are the ones to beat. The Mugen MT-12 is a great knock off from what I know. The OS 12tr is a good one as well. Preston didn't you use a NR.12 in your record boat? I would think that mid 30's are within reach with the .12's seeing as how the hydros are capable of much more than that. All the motore I mentioned are air cooled. That would be a selling point for me, and others I am sure. The rear exhaust ones are usually the screamers and the Team Associated NTC3 header is the 180 of choice, and the MACS 2.5 pipe is the norm. I hope that is a good starting point. Please keep us posted!!

Your pretty much average .12 motor should get it into the mid 30's with no problem. A hot .12 ought to see 40 with no sweat. My mild Trinity/Picco .12 was hitting on radar 33 MPH and not dailed in in one of my little monos.

The current problem with the .12-.18 motors is the ROAR and other car sanctioning bodies restriction in barrel size. A larger carb like the ones that Kevin made for me added a good 5+MPH, a Nova Rossi .21 carb cut down to fit in the .12's throat.

 

[Paul Pachmayer]

Hello Jerry,

As far as flex Dia. .130. I'm an electric guy so on 12 cells with an Aveox 36/30 1.5 and a M447 prop your talking mid 40s easy. There's a pretty big hole in the 26 inch range of fast boats, I did hear a rumor about Areomarine coming out with a Titan 25 last year but the boat never surfaced.

Put me in line for one, I really liked the 29" version but it was just a tad large for 12 cells.

Paul.

Areomarine coming out with a Titan 25 last year but the boat never surfaced

really.. that would rock. I would need one also

 

[Eric Perez]

I also agree that 26" ducer style hull would probably work well. There are plenty of people offering step-down .130 cables with 3/16 or 1/8 stubs this should cover most of the small-block engine class.

Let me emphasize that a decent all inclusive hardware package that will allow either a std. pull start engine or hot Italian engines with pilot shaft to be use critical for the success of the project.

The boat needs to be designed for a typical car engine. No water cooling, no 30mm of 1/4-20 threads… Even for pull-start equipped models.

Racers will figure out how to shoe-horn just about anything with a glow-plug into the hull, but if you are looking for the larger sport boat market you will need to make it more compatible with all the equipment out there.

 

[izitbrokeyet?]

sounds like a great idea. .15's are kind of a bastard class of motor that consists of illegals in the Off-road class, a dragster class and an aero class that i'm not familliar with B)

I'd definitely be in line to snag one of your hulls if my club would run the class...I know of one other in my club that runs an IMPBA "A" mono.

come to think of it:

is a .15 within the limits of an "A" or does it fall under "B"?

maybe it would have to be a .12 to be in the "A" class?....dont know for sure.

I'm thinking it would have to be a "light layup" with a slight hook and useful strakes to help me make my mind up between yours and scratch building.

sounds like fun class

 

[Preston_Hall]

is a .15 within the limits of an "A" or does it fall under "B"?

B. I see another IMPBA issue coming up.

Jerry I was running a 3/16" shaft with 21 hardware on my boat at the SAW trials last year. I also run a 3/16" on my mono. We have had it at 46mph. Nothing like a Novarossi.
