Anything new? We wait you with baited breath!!

Who knows, I might be crazy enough to send mine over for RF 05 Ex build #2!

How does your boat get on plane with that x dimension and what size props and how many blades? I'm running a triple setup that was originally 16.5 x dimension and i'm now running -3 imco's putting my x at 19 1/2...running 31 pitch 6 blade herrings and my shaft is about 2 inches below the bottom of the hull. I need about 4500 rpm's to get on plane.

It needs to be higher than that with 7 blades.

Can't wait to see the results Fountain we know can produce and Tyler is a great builder with a great shop!

we need pics reggie....cant wait to see a rf boat :coolcowboy:

Sorry guys...been at the lake all weekend and hadn't checked the thread till now. I talked to both Reggie Jr and Wyatt today. We are working on a few last minute details. It looks like we are going to raise the drive ht on the transom and stick with the SCX lowers, switch to 1:35 gears and go with an 1.25" prop shaft to give us more prop options than the 1 7/16 shaft we currently are running. If we can get the drives up high enough, and we can space them down far enough with spacers..we can always look into installing the IMCO 6 drive shaft and running cleaver style props...but I need at least 17" of clearance to cav plate to do that. I know SCs would be faster, but we were shelling them left and right with only 850HP..Im sure they wouldnt last long with close to 1000hp. Im still waiting on Tyler to finish up the second motor....and waiting, and waiting....lol. Anyone know of a set of good condition used #6's for sale?? CHEAP!!!!! This is a moving target, I know:evilb:..lol.

Hey 47 lightning , with the other engines I was running 32 15.5 hering 5 bladdes it took about 2800 to get on plane slowly you had to let it do its own thing , the maximus props worked a little better and better cruise rpms in the mid range,now with these engines all I have right now are some stock 35 maximus props which are going to be my spares and these are a little to big or grab to much water , still waiting on my new herings , supposed to be sent out wed 15.5 33 6 blade with the thicker ears for more strength as per jeff at hering , we will see.

TRL just wondering how much they are going to raise the starboard engine with having the whipples and interfearing with the engine compartment gunnel. I have the 4.0 whipples and the moac coolers and I moved the starboard engine 6.5 inches forward otherwise I would have to a major part of the gunnel out for clearence .

There is plenty of clearance to get the correct height. We are raising the 42 up a couple of inches.

The RF Powerboats website should be up in a few weeks. I've got some pics up on my Facebook page.
