ProBoat's new 29" Mystic Brushless catamaran

[iamandrew]

I wish theyd made the hatch cutout more of a rectangle....!

I see there is a desing difference between the Kintec and proboat offset rudder.
Any word on that, less drag ore is the kintec patend protected, ore anything else.

I got the kintec on my MG last night and it did nothing to stop the bouncing.Also the boat felt a tad slower once installed also.

I had the new MG29 in my hand over the weekend as I was at the Nats. The offset is done well and looks nice. Other than that, everything is the same as on the Geico hull. (except electronics) I did not see it run but was told by several it did still have the bounce. Ive said this as has Darin a hundred times on here. The offset has nothing to do w/ getting the bounce out. Its all about trim and finding the right cog. Even when trimmed out right, these hulls seem to not want to settle until they are above 40-41mph. In fact, several people on here have gotten the bounce out and still use the inline set up. The offset should not have slowed you down at all. the only thing it should change is it should help to hold speed throughout a turn. It will still slow a little, but not near as much as it did w/ the rudder inline.

I know Tique, I've read several places about cog and adjustment, but I had to try it.
here is from last night with the offset,and 4s and 5s testing, lipo far front center, and all the way back, strutt up and down etc.

The Mystic I saw run at the nats did NOT have a bounce like the Geico. I did take a video, but my son lost the cell phone it was on. I thought he texted the video to Darin, so I will check.

That would be interesting to see. Im only going from what I heard, but like I said, I was told it bounced by at least 3 people. In any event, my point was, the offset doesnt change that. They are the same boats therefore will have the same issues and have to be set up properly to keep out the "wah wah wah"

Found a nice vid of the Horizon people talking about the new Mystic. Review starts at about 6:30. Nice up close look at the boat. My pop has the Geico and its a great boat, I think I might be selling off some of my stuff to get this. Looks like a great upgraded package.

Well he took a 4th overall in it so it cant be all bad LOL..."wah wah wah" or no "wah wah wah" hahahaha
its a MUCH improved package over the MG and i refuse to call it the MG29 hahahaha....and since i have one coming its makes me biased...the MYSTIC is not due to ship to Canada until June the 20th!

is it true that with the offset rudder the boat will only turn one direction
i was told by proboat that this boat was made for racing and it only really turns one way

[tiqueman]

It still turns both ways. Just not as well left. In offshore class racing there is a left turn.

[arp1500]

ok cool, i really like the mystic mainly because its white and then the bigger motor
so can i run it as just a normal boat playing in the lake and pond or should i get the mg

proboat told me to get the mg unless i was racing
