nice paint jobcant wait to see a vid

Thanks,, no video yet... Here is a picture from today, did not have anyone to take video.. Boat is running nice, I made some strut adjustments that seemed to free it up.. I need more time for testing to get it just right!

Almost to nice to be in the water
I like how you made the hatch, I bet it works a lot better than the one on my Sport 20.

I will get some video as soon as I can..

Yesterdays test were showing speeds of 55mph.. I was not happy with the turn fin, seemed to have alot of drag.. I am going to make my own today out of Alum... Hopefully I can test a new t-fin this afternoon..

You are using the turn fin from Brian's kit right? Why the suspicion? Throwing too much water up all the time? or when it turns?

Make a template of the new one if it works like you want it and load it on here. And get some video!!

I was using the TF from Brian.. But found out that it is really only meant for his Gas Whip.. To large and heavy for the Whip 40.. I made my own test model yesterday and tested it late in the day.. It made a big improvment, gained 4-6mph down the straights and turns at FULL THROTTLE with no issues or bad habbits.. I am starting to like this Whip more and more every time i run it..

I will posted a picture of the template I used..

Oh, i think they just outlawed video taping rc boating in TX.. LOL
