BBY MHz 44 mystic

It ended up running rock solid except for the couplers they keep coming loose. They de-tuned it to 78MPH I think that was to save the whole boat. I was not there for the runs and would not want to run it my self. But the customer is happy and that is all I really want.

I would like to know how she turned out also, I just saw this thread as Keith brought it up and I concur what an awesome looking boat!! And nice parts. Agree with Chris on the collets, thanks, they are the best.

I do not know why they are coming loose they are the German ones and I soldered the shafts with brazing silver solder and are hard as hell.

After going back over the beginning of the thread and recalling the motor wind, I would DEFINITELY not run those motors on 6s with 4516/3s. I would expect to see current as high as 400A+ with that setup.
Personally I think those motors would be better suited for a 5s setup in this boat.

Hi Keith,

This boat came to me. To me, its the PERFECT combo. Randy at BBY did an exceptional job. The boat is built to perfection. Set up wise, we are running 47mm CNC props. The boat rockets to astronomical speeds and runs for 6 minutes. Needless to say, its a site to be seen. We are running twin MGM 280amp units. Thanks for your feedback!!!

Good to hear! I assume they didn't end up running 6s after all?

I think running in that speed range is a good idea. Too pretty of a boat to risk smashing up (I am a total hypocrite for saying that, I know). This is probably the best paint job on a MHZ 114 that anyone will ever find...absolutely awesome looking! If you have any pics of it finished, post 'em up!

Post some pics!!!

Any chance you're bringing it to the Lake of the Ozarks shootout in a week and a half? There will be a lot of nice boats there...should be a good time!

Humm, since I switched to them I have not had a slip on either end. What's slipping? Motor or flex?

I wish I was as good of painter as Pro Painter, If I only knew how to buff out paint. I can buff silver gold and Stainless steel, But not paint!

Me too! Not too many people have that level of talent. I'm not even sure he knows how good he really is!

I've seen some pics of your paintwork, and you do quite well yourself Randy. You definitely have some skills with the airbrush, and I think with each one you post they keep getting better!

Thanks I have been painting since I was 13 years old. I try real hard

Ya know if they quit changing the paint it would not be so hard.

Just got a look at Randy's workshop...and I thought mine looked bad.
A neat desk is the sign of a sick mind.....
