Doug it looks good. I am surprised how shallow that tunnel make the hull over all. I am guessing the bubble in the cowl leaves allot of clearance around that big motor. How do you plan to anchor that mount to the tunnel?

Thanks SJFEOriginally posted by SJFE View Post
The boat was finished today and pics follow. The motor was anchored with 15 min expoxy and a 3/32nd " plywood, then all wood surfaces were given a coat of thinned epoxy. The motor has about 1/4" clearance including the water cooling, under the cowl.Last edited by Flying Scotsman; 11-13-2007, 04:42 PM.Comment

She looks great Douggie!
If you hurry you can test it before the lake freezes, eh.
Good work mate!

Spectacular looking boat! That canopy really looks sharp. I've heard that the wing really becomes functional over 40mph. Have you decided on the motor/battery/prop combination?
I've had an M-1 with a FDM 21EGSRA and Lehner 1950/10 lying around for a few months. I wanted to hold off building it until I finished and ran my Mean Machine. For my M-1, I am thinking about a light 6S set up with (2) 3S 30C 5000 mAh LiPos using the Lehner or a KB45-8XL motor and a x447 prop.
Let us know how it runs... The temperatures are falling fast!Mean Machine Cat: 9XL, 4S2P, CC120, M545 (50mph) -- DF22 Hydro: 8L, 3S1P/4500, CC120, x637 (49mph) -- M-1 SuperCat: 1521/1Y, 6S2P, CC240, x447 (61mph) -- SV27 Mono: stock setup, 14-cell/4200, x642 (42mph) -- Micro Scat Cat: 28-3600, 3S1P/2100, Turnigy 60, x430 (41mph)Comment

Nice work! I like the M-1.
Most people do not know this but, Primer Is not for adhesion of paint or a rust blocker. Primer Is for slicking the rough finish of what ever you are working on because you can sand It smooth.
So, In other words I would step up to a 1500 to 2000 grit wet paper and a good paint degreaser for painting gel coat unless you need to slick the seam out or fix any voids.
Most any gel coat needs to be cleaned of any pva/mold release before painting!
Just some tips for the road ladies.
MHO...

Thank you all, for your compliments.
The motor, power and prop combo I thought about for a long time, with the help of SJFE and Reddy/Watts. I have decided on this sport combo with the stuff I have and the ability to upgrade.
KB45 10XL...Sentilon OSE RC 100HV....1 4500 2sp and 1 4500 3sp in series...Fullers offshore hardware....Hughey 150 flex...X640 to start with and yes Mr. Smock it is getting chilly up here!!

I was asked as to when I will apply decals etc.
The answer to this question is no.
I personally hate all decals, emblems. Let the car/boat run in the owner's colours and not some silly sponsors.Comment
