    Tristan's P-Sport FE30

    Tristan wisely chose the TP Power 3Y 2220KV motor / Swordy Pro 220A+ combo. This should be a ballistic missle !

    Laser employed to find/align stuffing tube slot to the strut. Perfect alignment to the motor collet means less vibration/noise/parasitic driveline drag

        Tony - I just saw these! Awesome! Looking forward to spring! I echo Tristan's comments! I'm so happy with Tony and his work, I asked him to build my skiff. Plans are already in motion! Thanks again Tony!

          Dave's FE Jersey Skiff

          Dave's in for some serious good times once he gets this on the water (after some paint/graphics). I firmly believe that the FE Jersey Skiffs are the best-kept secret in FE for pure fun on the water

            Delta Force 26 SAW Race Build for P-Ltd Mono

            This was a last-minute entry to beat my existing NAMBA P-Ltd Mono SAW record. I might have done better (my current record with the JetChopper30 still stands) had I remembered to bring my batteries to the course for the one day I had to defend the record .

              Hydro & Marine Drifter S NAMBA SAW Record Holder

              As I'm updating this thread I feel it's ProperChopper appropriate to finally give due respect to this amazing boat- a three-time NAMBA SAW Record Holder : P-Ltd Offshore 67.771mph; P-Ltd Cat original record 66.176mph and current P-Ltd Cat record of 67.060mph. [Plus three fast passes of 71mph]

              Thanks to Mike (Chili) for long ago selling me this hull and "Snowman" Brian B. for providing the "El-Kabongo" record prop

                              I ran my FE30 set up by Tony today for the first time. All I can say is WOW!! It ran great, came in dry, I could not be happier. If anyone is thinking about a new boat and on the fence as to whether or not to ask Properchopper to set it up, I recommend him highly! I am glad I went to him for the FE30, Mean Machine, and my skiff. Thanks Tony!

                                Several of my club members had Tony build their FE-30s and they were great boats! Tony is my friend but honestly, he does great builds and I have shamelessly stolen several build ideas from him....
