Yep still have it, all covered up now but ready for spring !!
Still prop testing but running great . Best I had was 64mph on gps speedo at 5000rpm. Merc 420 motors. I still think it has more with the right props, I'm running b1 24p 4blades now. Running at a negative trim. Any more trim and the props blow out. Gonna try some bigger diameter 5 blades and hopefully they hook up little better.

Tried to post some upgraded pics but it won't let me. Hey glassdave, if ya have any recent pics attach some for me.

You cant upload pics without being a member. You need to create an account with photobucket.com (its free) and then upload your pics there....copy the IMG code (image link) and paste into this thread...Its easy.

Your pic will then appear full size..

Brad, that hull runs sweet with Hydromotive Q-IV's, I'm spinning 27" pitch with my new N/A motors, I tried all brands, and like Hydromotive's .. DAVE
