Your MG that started off as a hull

[srislash]

That hook will definately be pushing the nose in the water.The motor near the rear is the way to go.You can easily adjust CG with the batteries this way.

P.S. Hope you get feeling better buddy.

Oh yeah,look what came the other day



Hoping to make a good boat to run with the others

Nice looking new toy shawn! 1717's?

No,it is just a Pursuit.So just another 1515 1Y 2200 kv.I'm going to wetwell/strut this one.And try not to paint it fancy as the others will probably be hitting me.

Ah! Mac had one! He gave it away to one of our buddies at the pond! I wonder, why Mac have not given me any boat?

What, So you can run into him again with his own boat this time.
Hey Mac, Get some home made chicken soup in you.

I thought the CG looked a little to far up,
But also thought the cell would balance it out if they were more back at the transom.
On my 36"shockwave the CG is 8 1/2" from the transom,
The cells are about 5 1/2" from the transom.
The prop is a x446/3.
The outrunners run hotter then inrunners, Like 200f is ok for them.
And timing on my p1 kos is 15* and T600 is 30*, So I hear.

That CG is about 23.5%
A boat with a hook will still run wet even if the CG is correct and they say its easier to adjust a rear heavy boat than a front heavy one. Gotta fix that hook first, I guess.

so you think the hook is in the hull shape? My Genesis hooks but only at almost full throttle,, do you think my hulls damaged somewhere?? i thought it was my pushrod to the rudder was week and flexes under high speed, maybe.

Not a bad idea! LOL! Just kidding!

Jerry,we mean a hook in the hull.Where there is a concave section which will act as trim tabs would.
You're issue could be a weak servo or the tolerances in the rudder.Just ideas to examine.

I had a pursuit and gave it away?! Are you on crack or something?

I have heard of some boat manufacturers that add a slight hook to their design - maybe thats because the design of their hulls are high lift ones, so adding a hook to the hull will lower the bow. I for one prefer just the flat one without hook and just control the bow with either the strut/stinger and trim tabs.
I really had doubts in the T-600 pushing my 40" Cig boat so I instructed my worker to use a thin layup when making my boat. My servo is also a 1/4 scale servo so its mounting was quite big as well - we fiberglass the mount to the hull which somewhat pulled the hull upward a bit to create the hook.

After we get to fix the hook and knowing that the T600 can adequately push the boat - I'll have my worker to add another fiberglass layer inside the hull for reinforcement. Part of the hobby guys - nothing is perfect.
