    Thanks
    It looks very close and measures just within size. I'd have to pull my motor and set the mount in there to be certain, but I'm pretty sure it would.


    I'm waiting on a new strut. This one keep seizing to the shafts for some reason. So I'm just going to replace the entire drive. Odd that it kept seizing up like it has. Full of grease, just locked up solid.

        Just an update, had to replace the strut & the strut hanger. The bushing just kept seizing. Just for kicks, I installed a used 4mm system and a 47mm prop.

        Now it's nice and solid, no slop in the drive train, lubed up and ready to hit the water. I've got a new GPS, so might make it out later today / tomorrow. =)

                    This thing has been a blast. Need to get some vid. It handles great and has a good amount of run time.

                    Think it's ready for the swap shop soon. Too many boats and projects on the table. So if anyone wants an RTR or ARR make me some offers. =)

                        now that I've seen mine run nice with the strut up so high, I'm thinking I might chuck the 1717 back in for a few runs and seeing how it goes.

                            This one's been a super smooth runner. Not much motor heat at all. Just a fun little boat. Didn't shoot for a very fast setup, just a fun, good handling sport boat. =)

                                    I never gps'd it, but I'd say yeah, right in that area.

                                        I think I will try these adjustments on my 29" Phantom cat. Never tried running the prop that high on a cat, mono yes, cat, no.
