Kbb 34" mono build

[kfxguy]

i'm charging batteries tonight and i'm gonna make a trip to the big lake by my house. I'm gonna run it on 6s first and see if i can get 60mph out of it on 6s....then try it on 7s. I'm not brave enough to run 8s just yet lol

LOL Dude, that ain't heavy!! That Vern Kilmer Mono I have weighs almost 21lbs. RTR on 10s and the 1/8 scale Hydro I have weighs 18.4lbs RTR on 10s That KBB Mono is lite!!!

Gotcha beat.........though that's not a good thing............1/8 48" Hydro Castle 2028 9s2p......22lbs.......fat boy!

Ok, I've got this app on my phone that allows me to watch videos Ive recorded in slow motion. I thought what better way to really analyze how the boat is riding and how deep things are in the water. This says a lot....tell me what you guys think. I think the strut should come up more and maybe a touch more positive angle.....

Not enough roost !

From last pics it's definately running wet.
You can definately air that out a lot more.
In the straight you want as little boat in the water as possible without flipping backwards.
Raise your tabs up so you know they aren't creating drag or dropping the nose.
Balancing act takes time to get it right.

Or just leave it alone, considering, you were at partial throttle. It may do a lot of the airing out on it's own with another 10k rpm??

Honestly I really want to raise the strut at this point but I know better. The best course of action is one change at a time. I'll make a pass or two and see what the difference is with just the throttle calibration. Then I'll start moving the strut. Trim tabs are angle up a tad. I'm honestly thinking about removing them. Doesn't seem like I need them. It's always a process lol.

I would leave the tabs if you are going to run it in the choppy water, up to you though. One of those rather have em' but don't use them things. You really did a great job on it!

Rear end is sure hunkered down................looks a bit wet, you tried an x6 series?

Travis, this isn't the clearest frame grab but here's my 33" Pursuit at 59 mph...........a lot more aired out

That's an x648 in that pic. I tried an m645 too

[Make-a-Wake]

Hmmm.............My frame grab is with an x442............maybe try an x445 just to see, could be too much lift.........??

Travis I think you have way too much prop in the water and agree with your theory on needing a strut adjustment . Try adjusting so your prop sticks out about 1/3" past the keel. Or go with a smaller prop.
