Did you do your own prop work? Why did you decide to de-tongue? Were you getting too much heat?

I got to hand it to ya. Ya do good work. That boat looks awesome. Can't wait to see the videos.

Thanks Dom. I cant wait to get it back in the water. I wanted to do a bit more detail, but Im too nervous that one good blow over at close to 70 and Im not going to be using this hull anymore...

Egneg did em. Ive detongued before but never cupped and didnt want to screw them up so I sent them out. Not really any heat issues, just dont need the bottom end so much. I detongued a 442 Im using on a single drive cat and pick up a bit of top end... so thats why I had it done on these.

Move your CG slightly forward if you are wanting those speeds...around 48-50 the hull will start to raise up from the air in the tunnel.

Thanks Jeff. Im already close to 67... Im hoping for just a couple mph more. Like I said, goal is 70. The ride attitude at 67 is perfect.

Scott, can you post some pics of the props when you get a chance? What pitch are you going up tp 1.6?

[HYDROJERRY]

I will get some pics tonight. They are 442 props, so 1.4, w/ just the tips bent a little for the cupping just to narrow the thrust cone a bit. Not re-pitched.

Well... I didnt get my 70

Yet!!! I did get 69.8. And had to convince a gator I liked my boat more than he did...

Nice! I'm sure with a little tweaking you'll be there. Good job!

[Alfa Spirit]

Very nice cat, you' re a serious builder

Yeah I think so. Could ba as simple as a little hull scuffing. Butman this things ride attitude is just perfect. I hope to get some vids soon

Thanks. It was a very fun build. And turned out to be a lot better than expected. I was guessing low 60s tops. im 100% pleased with it
