ProBoat HyperSport 48 Gas Mono - Prep for Racing

[mickvk]

This is still practically the only Hypersport 48 thread around so I wanted to post a little fun I had this weekend... On board video run! It was my first try so the rear view isn't very good - need to widen out the shot. Next time. Check it out:

Hi Darin,
I'll buy a shockwave 55 is it reliable water from the supersport 48?

Hey Darin, are you willing to part with your throttle linkage set up for hypersport 48?

Hello guys,

I have recently bought my new proboat hypersport 48 and I have make some changes on my boat under the guidance of Darin! I have ordered quite a few parts in "Bonzi Sport" (cylinder head, exhaust...), gizmomotors (linkage system for the carburetor, 26/14 ABC prop, and GZ-2 Kit for upgraded my zenoah!!), pmbmodelboat for the exhaust support, kintec racing for the hose cooling!

Here are some photos of my transformation!

Looks good! One word of advice... With all that power, if you REALLY want to keep handling well and on the water, add about 2-3lbs of weight right around the motor on the CG. Boat will tighten up and run like CRAZY around the course and in the chop. Was too loose to race before I did this, and was running like a champ after...

Hi Darin,

I thought give it a try before adding weight, but if you say that the control of the boat is bad with all the power I will not risk losing it!! I had also thought to reinforce the hull with carbon fiber under the engine and trans! What do you think about that?

The hull is WAY too thin, in my opinion, and can stand to be re-enforced wherever possible. The weight will not hurt you.

ok thanks Darin! i will post any pictures of this later and i will take more vids of my boat!! oh I forgot to tell you if it was necessary to change the transmission with the flex?

Hi,

I continued on my topic hypersport 48, here are the photos of the day on September 11, and I would say that the hypersport 48 is a great boat with a gizmomotors V2 kit! Because I have finished 3 rd with him!DSC04008.jpgDSC04009.jpgDSC04010.jpgDSC04011.jpgDSC04012.jpg
