Go Howard, go Howard, go!

Very nice running cat, 100 mph, why not!!!

Outrunner or inrunner? Suppo has some outrunners with some outrageous specs. Dont know if I believe them. But if they were true whoa boy.

I started working on my genesis and was thinking about a motor change that would push this 100+. 1 motor will do it. The hull is setup i just need more power.

About 8 lbs loaded

Btw. How much does the boat weigh before you put it in the water?

[JPriami]

Good idea Howard. I've been looking at abc and calcing up stuff the past few weeks. And have some props on order.

[Howard Lee]

I think i might have just found a prop. I might try a ABC 48.3mm diameter and 86.8 pitch.

I'm still working out the bugs but i did get into the 90s. It will go faster but I need more time. I am thinking about 95mph is a good number to stop at. Now im looking for a prop that is 1.9" and greater then 3.0

[rearwheelin]

I set my struts so that when the boats on full plain they dont even touch the water, up to 1/4'' above sponsons....only prop touches.

[wparsons]

I run it so the bottom of my strut is at the bottom of the sponson. Less resistance, more speed. You just need to run a little bigger prop then normal.

That sounds like a typical starting point for a cat to me? Any cat I've seen is in that ballpark.

[Howard Lee]

Im working on the setup. Im not going for any top speed runs until im happy with it. When i find what really works ill put it in this thread. Dont use any setting that i have talked about.

Hi There Howard,

I've not been on much for a while and just read through your thread.
Your 32 runs flat and fast, I did get some crazy speed out of mine but the very next run it went up in flames! You have done a great job so keep going brother...

When the bank of WIFE lets me draw out the cash, I'm gonna build my next FE, Maybe a twin but I'm never going out to smash speed records, just be quick and have fun doing it.

I also have my Aqua-Mania HOTR to finnish so I 'm happy for now!

Keep onto the 90!

[Howard Lee]

I'm just waiting for the weather to clear up and see how the adjustments work out. Video coming soon.
