New Hull! FOUNTAIN P1 50" / 127cm Twin Setup

[Fella1340]

I am pretty sure I am going to get this hull. I have all the hardware, electrics etc. The motor I will be using
is a TP power 5660 (5692)6y 820kv. Running 10-12s. Some people have commented it may be to small, others
Have said it will work well. I have seen the videos to back up this motor though and it seems 60+MPH are obtainable.
The proof will be getting a boat together! As this will be a winter project I won't know for sure till the spring!
I have great confidence this will work well. A lot of guys are saying the tp5850 is a real great motor. I have seen only
one in a video and it looked really good.

So i just openend a new building thred

[fjelling]

Cool!
Is the proteus motor here on OSE maybe enough?

[Fella1340]

Glad to hear you are starting a building thread! As for the Proteus motor I think it would work well. I would defiantly
Wait for the more experiences builders to chime in. Its one thing for it to work on paper but unless you have
Actually done it and have that experience what works on paper might not be worth a s--t.

Hi Alfa, I am very instrested in your build. More so than some others as I plan on buying the hull.
I was waiting for a promised refund on the original hull I bought for this project, it hasn't came and
the Guy thinks its going to go away by not reading emails. I will be posting pictures of the hull next week
Asking for advice on repairing or trashing the hull. I got a little sidetracked there, back onto topic. Where did you
Get the scale decals for the boat? There very nice and I am wondering if they are available and in different colors.
As well did you happen to notice if the hull is wet joined all the way around? Or are the e just strips of fiberglass
Here and there with some type of glue in between? I have been told the hull is a very light layup from another member
on here and will require reinforcin. Do you feel it will need reinforcing with the setup you are using?
Basically I am looking for a straight boat that has been joined all the way around with fiberglass (top and bottom deck)
And a hatch that sits in place reasonably flat. I can work around anything else, I just can't afford to end up with I have sitting
here again. I understand it is not gelcoated. Any ideas on what they have used to finish over the fiberglass. I apologize
for all the questions. My last buy has limited my options for the moment until I get that fellow straightened out I am on a tight
budget. Lesson #1486, wait to you have hull in hand before you spend over $1000 on motor,esc, hardware, batteries
Etc. He seemed such a stand up guy and I am still confused as to what happened. I am truly starting to
Believe I wasn't meant to have a big electric boat! It's only since I found OSE that has the things have started
To work out as they should have. I think this hull will satisfy my need for it to be able to handle rough water ans hopefully
perform OK on the flat water days. I really like the shape of the hull, for the price is really does have style and nice lines.
Your feedback will be appreciated Alfa! Sorry to bust up your build thread the way I have, I just don't know another way
Of going about it. Thanks, Jeff

LOL this isn't much of a build thread, he never built the boat, just spent over a year putting stickers on it.....
And posting pictures of the hardware next to the boat....

I call Bullsh!t, I hate it when someone starts a build thread and then backs out or doesn't finish it. Worst case scenario, post the reason for the lack of progress.

I was doing some other searching to see if I could find the boat for sale elsewhere and I did. The okey
100 guy selling the boats on eBay had a website as well. I think the boats are being painted up, having
The motors/escs and such places in them and then being used a "photo" boats for the listings. One listing
plainly had no hardware on the back at all but it appeared in side shots when you couldn't see how it was
attached. Strangest thing. I didn't write the email down but if you search 50"fountain ed boat you will come across
it. Perhaps the stuff is left properly unmounted until a customer order is made? I didn't see the boat Alfa has here on
It but it appears both of them are dressing up boats for? Photo shoots? Strange that neither of them had a finished
Boat but okey100 is selling them as completed boats. May be a way to keep costs down on hardware etc? Weird.

Hi, I didn' t work on this boat. Fjelling, run a twin setup for stability, no torque effects. 2 x 8S to 2 x 12S is the good voltage range for this 130cm long deep vee
MXZ have all propellers size left + right, Octura 457 is a good size. The hull must be reinforced with light carbon layers.
In France a guy built his own deep vee from A to Z, 147cm long.



Setup: 2 x TP power 4092 980Kv,2 x 8S



On rhe FOUTAIN P1 I run 2 x SUXFLY 4092 930kV and 4 x 5S , those motors are Leopard

[Fella1340]

I spent the last 45 minutes trying to.find it again. No luck. I don't know what I did differently in the
search last time. It was one of those basic mobile type sites. I will look again when I have some time.

[Alfa Spirit]
