New twin rigger

[flraptor07]

Gil, this boat is absolutely incredible, I can't wait to see how fast it is! Hey I have a idea, you should have a contest and the one who guesses the closest to top speed of this boat wins one of these fine riggers! What do you think of that?

Tomorrow one of these riggers will hit water equipped with two Leo 4092(don't know kv's or batts) and I hope she can go fast. ...will let you know soon.Mine was disassembled and is ready for the finishing and painting.Thanks Gill

hi gil, did you run the twin electric?

[grsboats]

Only the wood prototype...she's fast.as soon as mine FG boat is ready for her maiden voyage will post a video.Gill

great, gil. glad to hear it. as fast as your single 6-s 1d 1527? running my saw rigger sat or sunday. 6-s 1527 1d castle 240. whats a good starter prop? dia and pitch ? gonna try ss prather as i dont need lift and like to work with stainless. john

John I don't think it will be faster than my c,f saw boat but I can tell you that it runs fast on rails.Probably I will have a feedback this week about one of the twins tested yesterday.Prather props definetively don't work on my boats but I have had good results with 1450 with different cups,ABC 52X70,and recently the V series V947/3 and V955/3 reduced showed great top speed(they are high lifted props).How is your saw rigger? Chers Gill

[grsboats]

some update....before painting one more step...two laywers of light f.g to reinforce ski's and boat primed. Gill

[flraptor07]

Gil, That's the first good look I've had at the bottom of the center section, I didn't realize the rear ride pads were so long. do they have any diehedral or are they flat level or is it a combination? I can't really tell from the pic.

WOW, a twin FE rigger , Custom hand laid glass, super job, is the equal to a 60 or 90 nitro rigger?
tryin to get an idea on size, I'm playin with a JAE 21 w/ 1515 2200kv , 220pro SF , on 4s, 1818 pro,,

[grsboats]

The "ski's" are flat with 2 degrees AOA.....help a lot to carry the transon with less effort. This rigger is suitable for a .90 engine with no problems (40"long X 24" width).Just to get you updated the first boat of this serie hit water days ago with triple digit speed...don't ask me for numbers but the owner is very happy.Mine is painted and in a few days will be ready for its maiden voyage.Thanks Gill

Hi Gill looks like the twin is almost there. Are you running same rotation props for your twin. I am running counter rotating at the moment which is just a pleasure to drive. Same rotation testing next with V947's

[grsboats]

AndrewI hope have it ready in one week..yes same rotation! Gill

[grsboats]

some little sanding/polishing and tomorrow get things to their places.Gill

Looking very nice Gill. Twins are always cool boats. This looks killer.

hi gil, very nice work. your craftsmanship is second to none. you probably know this , but make sure those ride pads are as sharp as possible on all edges. good luck.
