I just saw it!!!! Amazing! This is the boat I have been waiting for. I didn't expect twins.

Good things come to those who wait....there was some hints thrown out there on this lol. From what I heard it runs mid 60's out the box. Sharpen and balance the props and it'll be even better. Or better yet a set of abc props....

I wonder how the hull strength is in this one. I like the steering setup.

Yes, now I'm glad I held off on the Skater (even though it looks nice). I kind of thought I was close to done buying props but I guess not...

Hull is a tank! You're going to have to WORK to break this one. Seriously.

Test boat was fun. Definitely capable of upper 50s out of the box.

I'm already getting ready to prop mine for the Q-Cat Class, if it makes the numbers at the FE Nats this year...

Somebody posted that they got 72mph out of it with the stock setup. And the motor size is a misprint on proboat site it has two 36x60 not 56x87. When I saw those specs I was like no way that's awesome but then found out it was a misprint. Oh well

[arrover]

So the stock motors are out of the Impulse 31v3? And your motor upgrade is Voracity motors? Wow, that should fly!

That's good to hear. I'm pretty disappointed in my last hull that cracked and split so easily.

How did someone post 72, it's not even out yet?

Would be interested to know where that came from... the boats not even on the shelves yet.

Wasn't me... I definitely was able to get into the mid-50's without much effort. Wasn't able to fully push it in the area I was testing...

Hull strength is not an issue, I went 2 extra layers of glass than what the Voracity has. At least none of my testers experienced issues with the hulls; but then again we never saw anything with the Voracity 36 either. So, that's 5 layers of glass total on this boat. It's a heavy boat. I mean, nothing is unbreakable, but I did my best to make sure that as the speed went up, so did the layering of the hull.

Also I'm updating the picture of the back of the boat. It does include a break away rudder.

Good thing for you, you didn't have to pay for it.

We've only replaced 6 Voracity hulls due to cracking issues. If it's happening more than that, no one is calling us.


Anyways, back to the new boat!

[arrover]

At least nine of my testers experienced issues with the hulls; but then again we never saw anything with the Voracity 36 either.

I think you meant no issues with the hulls? Yay for a break away rudder! So those props would be similar to Octura x442?

Fixed, thanks for catching that. I hate posting off my phone. So, yes, none of the testers has issues with this hull. I actually had one of of our testers text me this morning telling me he showed it to a member of his boat club and he's convinced on buying one now.
