noticed on both the Red and the Orange hulls on the transomes................

the Receiver power switches (if that is what they are) are set to "push= off".

shouldn't they be "push= on" ?

something to think about is all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I really haven't given it much thought on which way they should to be honest - I has worked without flaw on the red for two seasons so to me it really doesn't matter

I see

and if the switch is accidentally bumped on the way to launching the boat in the water?

No worries my friend we are very careful when launching - infact the boat is armed in the water

Very very nice alloy parts, hand made even better! You inspire me.
probly a silly question, but wouldnt the ESC mounted on top of the motor gain more heat from the can? Having the CG centered but is a great idea for handling.

Thank you for the Kudos - as far as the heat issue it would make sence that it would but I have never even remotely gotten either past luke warm ( motor or esc ) , the water here is much colder year round so that definitely impacts cooling , secondly a Neu 2230 or Lehner 3080 in a 45" hull is like putting a chevy big block into a chevette so they really aren't being pushed that hard .

And I am thinking this 1717 in a DF 35" is alot.BTW It came with a nice motor mount..

I think that will be a deadly combo

Anyways I am finaly done - the final pictures I just have to wait for the lakes to defrost

They haven't defrosted over there yet? We're gonna have to build an ice breaker for some of you's.

Look's great Punisher.I'm real tempted to move my motor back like that.

That looks sweet Peter. I see you added some extra caps on your Schulze 40/160. I cant wait for our ponds to melt to see Predator go. Oh ya ,so which one are you letting me run while your running the other .

Probably the quicker one Ken - I trust your driving over mine

Well I finally found the time to get the Predator wet , The first run not on the video lasted 5 seconds as I forgot to put a flat spot on the flex cable so the coupler could get a good bite . Its a good thing Ken has a file set in his tool box .

Anyways for what its worth enjoy the vid .

Can't say as I've seen that outcome in person yet.What kind of RPM do you figure that took.

[Punisher 67]

The motor was turning about 35000 rpm
