Actually it's hard to tell because that's 18 minutes condensed together on one page but the last run was my longest as I was able to hang on to it longer. I made quite a bit of runs, some were right back to back and they are jumbled together on that page. I only had my son video three of the runs. I wasn't worried with it because I was just trying to get it lined out. I did up a m447 tonight (which may end up on the Daytona) but I'll be able to try something with a little less pitch and see how it likes it.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) was -
Ahh, my bad. I blew up the logs pic and thought it was measured in secs not mins there. I have had good luck pitching down, my DF 35 just could not get stable with a X/M6 series on it. All kinds of rudeness, not all the time but if anything went off kilter off it went(or down it went). Same with the Pursuit. The M5's arte fine though.Comment

Hey Travis............just thought of something. On my 39" Mono (6s2p 1717) I tried a bunch of props to squeeze out the best speed...............and overall running/handling, went thru x445/x447/x450/x645......................and the best one was................drum roll................an x548! Yep, the little known 548 was the best, perfect combo of pitch and diameter.NEED PARALLEL CONNECTORS?? QUALITY 5.5MM, 8MM, 8 AND 10 AWG, GET THEM HERE:

Went run again. Was prepared, had three sets of batteries this time. Flipped it and bent the rudder on about the third pass. O well. Got the Daytona out at an attempt to hit 80 and that didn't hapoen either. Water wasn't flowing out the outlet. Must have got some dirt stuck in it. I tried driving around in circles for a bit and no dice. Didn't want to chance it so I packed it up too. Sometimes I just wanna pack it all up and sell it all except one or two boats and be done with it. Ugh. So now I gotta get another rudder. Ain't no straightening this one. Blah.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

Btw, on 6s with the smaller prop it only went 64mph. Put the m447 I did last night on and it went 65. Wonder if longer trim tabs will help with the chine walk? That's why it flipped. I tried to stay in it and it flipped and hit hard. Landed right side up tho.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

That's 10mph under your fastest and it only just started to chine walk then, wonder why it's chine walking at 65 now.Originally posted by kfxguy View PostComment

I dunno. I didn't change anything. Guess I gotta figure that out. I'm very agitated right about now. I've got some cheap, short trim tabs on it. Might help if I get some longer ones. I dunno.Originally posted by flraptor07 View Post

I've actually found that turn find help stop chine walk.
It seems that at speed, if they're just above the water, when the rocking starts, the fin will touch and kinda push it back.

Kinda like training wheels

Ouch on the rudder. I am not sure what Keith has rated the hull for (power or speed wise) so I cannot say your pushing the limits of it but it's hard to get hulls this "small" tuned in. I have never ran "single" drive boats (the real ones) so I don't know much about it chine walk. I bet you if you bring that strut up a tad it will help, you may lose speed but at least it doesn't chine walk. I am going to get some long tabs for mine (30mmx50mm). I will be getting these: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=ose-83020
When we did poker runs the smaller (36' and below) boats with longer tabs always seemed to handle better. If your getting irritated with it just shelf it for a while, there was a point where I left OffShore running for a while (a month) but I missed hearing the motors and 100+ on a hot day.
What length rudder would you use if you were doing the same build as Travis? I am curious as I have one of these hulls on the way. Should be here Monday....Originally posted by flraptor07 View PostLast edited by Spartanator; 04-04-2015, 09:27 PM.Why are you bothering me? I want to see your boat!

I think I'd take about half the distance to the pickup off, make it about 3 1/2"Originally posted by kfxguy View PostComment
