Insane Boats P-Spec Sport Hydro 1st run with Vid !!!

[johnf]

What sort of speeds would you guys estimate Mark's hydro was running? Looked to be hanging good in the vid.

[RaceMechaniX]

My guess is mid 60's with a conservative prop.

[johnf]

Sounds fun! I'm hoping my 1521 will push mine close to that without being too much on the edge.

[MarkF]

My motor is 11" from the transom. You can mount your motor anywere between 10 and 12". Were finding the boat likes the cg back at 2 1/2"behind the sponson. Mine was at 2" in the video. Just mount your equipment in a way so you can play with the cg between 2 to 3".

That hull should be more stable running against smaller hulls. I'm hoping my Whiplash 20 handles wakes a little better than that.

Here you go. Tyler was running the boat in lane 20 just to stay out of the way of the gas boats. The boat can hang in lane 1 no problem.

Mark

Did it thermal in the end there?

[MarkF]

No, that was a 4400 1P battery that LVC. I dont have any bigger 4s packs at the moment. It took 4020 mah to fill the pack back up. If Tyler could have run in lanes 2 or 3 I think it would have completed all 6 laps. I was afraid of my boat getting ran over buy a big gas boat so I didn't want him mixing it up with the other boats.

Sorry, I meant to include LVC. Yeah, 4400Mah is pretty small. Cool.

Mark... You'll want to observe teh 80% rule if you want those packs to survive. Consider paralleling a pair of 3300's or 3800's if you want that setup to be safe and able to complete the mill and cooldown... Oh, and also to be able to run a REAL prop and find out what that hull can REALLY do...

Wow! Mark's boat is really zippin in that video. Hard to tell since he's covering 2x the ground that everyone else is!

I wish this boat was available before I started building my Vegas. Would have been a great alternative. The Insane hull is actually wider than the Vegas!Anyone know how thick the fiberglass is? My Vegas takes major abuse (see blowover in this vid) and has still stuck together quite well. Thanks.

I don't have the thickness of the Insane FE 30, as it's now officially designated as; but I can squeeze on the FE 30 sponson and it feels like a solid block of glass; my Vegas feels like a squeeze toy when I grab the sponson [ although it has survived a few high speed flips with no damage]. Keep working on your Vegas; test, trim & tune & it'll get dialed

That's what I wanted to hear! Sounds like it's supported well. I remember the old aeromarine and prather hulls. They were stiff as boards!

Greg Schweers' boat is rock solid. Should be more than capable of doing some fierce battle!
