I got the motors mounted to night. Motors are mounted 4.5 in. from the back of the sponson.Comment

Now I'm just waiting to finish my ESC box, plug everything in, and test drive.Comment

Make sure those leads are WELL insulated from the Carbon fiber it conduct electricity VERY well!!!Comment
-
thank you jcald2000 I forgot about Carbon fiber conducting electricity. you probably saved me a grand today.
I'm almost finished all that is left, is to hook up the ESC's and program them and run the inlet water lines. I hope to be able to run it next week.Comment

I went and ran my boat today in a small pound by my house and hit 60mph (on GPS and only able to hit WPT for about 1 second) many different times on 5s so I could get some data. The motors ans ESC's were cool to touch. When I get home and pull the data and I will post it up. If I have time I will run some 6s in it and collect some more data. If the boat preforms well I will up grade the motors to Neu motors I just did not want to spend the money on Neu motors after seeing the condition of the hull after sanding it. This is my first twin and I love it. The out of the hole power is awesome compared to the single screw boats I have.Comment

I finally got my boat dialed in today on 5s my average was 72.4 (5x 4 passes) and on 6s my average was 96.4 (5x 4 passes) and 97.2 being my high. I'm going try to top the 100mph mark tomorrow then its back to sport driving for this boat. I will have to say this boat turned out better than I expected. the only cheap parts are the motors and the stingers, which I'm going to up grade in the near future. Also being a huge castle/Nue fan I'm quit pleased with the performance of the motors. All the data looked good today even thou I'm at the upper limits of my setup. thank all of you for the great info.Comment

You did such a great job on your boat, I should just send mine down to you, and you should tweak it for me.. :) I buy all the parts and supplysComment

In fact HM isn' t the best quality now... What Leopard motors do you run?Comment
-
yeah H&M,s quality is not there any more but this hull sure likes the speed. I did not post the set up because I did not want to hear all the negative talk. the leopard motors are 4082 2200kv spinning octura 447 on 5s this set up works great for me temps are around 130 and running weight is 12lbs. It took about 25 runs to get this hull dialed in I'm happy with it but I will be up grading to Neu motors in the near future.Comment
