Can anyone inform me what make model and length the blue boat above is ? I want one ASAP

.

Someone told me they're Argentinian Hot Bot for class 3 racing, but I haven't found pics to prove that yet.

here are some links that might get us closer in answering the questions that we both have. I want one too
seems to be a class 3C

They ARE called Argentinian "Hot Boats" built out of wood, in Italy.

Ryan ,

That blue boat posted is wood ? Do you know the mfg ?

Anyone have any experience with BBlades Blaster props. I tried a set of 15x30* 4 blade over the hub bravos earlier today and could only turn them 6200@ 82 mph. No stern lift at all, which my Talon needs. Got 92 mph @ 6200 with my 15x30 Spinelli 3 blade cleavers and 70 gallons of fuel. I know I'm leaving rpms on the table.I know this is a skater thread but hell there isn't even a Talon Forum. Hustler bought the molds. I know I know there is a Hustler forum, but this is where all the cool kids hang out. Lol

Sorry for asking but maybe I missed what size boat it is, engine and gear ratio configuration.

It's all good Bob. You can be our "Token Talon Guy"

I guess that info would be pertinent especially to a rigger lol DR. I have an 1989 25' Talon ex- race boat. Aprox 3500 lbs. rigged with two 55 gallon tanks. I have 1998 Diamond Marine 225 Promaxes, just top pinned and fresh w/ approx. 80 hrs. from Marty buy way of Jeff @ FFV. I have 1.87 Sportmasters turning in at 1.5 " above pad. I was told I need to turn them out, but have never tried turning out as I have been happy with performance and too lazy to swap cables around.I will this fall when I convert to fatshafts.
I bought the boat from Tim Hunter in Wake forest who saw 105 with old 2.4s' with the Spinellis (15x30 labbed) which I could only turn to approx. 6200 to 6400 rpm, but saw a best of 96 with a 12 mph headwind. I have a Hoss HPD 15x27* that Tim was nice enough to through in with the sale. Lost one Hoss when propshaft broke years ago. Tim stated that the Hoss was his favorite all around prop for the hull. My friend Lee I borrowed the Bravos from ran them on his Talon CC which with a heavier liner has a diffrent CG and the hull responded well to. He was running 300s' which provided him much more torque. He saw a best of 101.4 with some cleavers also ,but the CC hull liked the Bravo style hull. Lee Stated that the cleavers generate more stern lift which I am accustomed to and the boat feel light in the stern with the cleavers. The bravos WOULD NOT allow the boat to fly even in 1.5 to 2s at 80 mph. It felt as the bravos were sucking the hull to the water. I am a newb to prop science. A cleaver generates more stern lift DR as Lee stated? My thinking was that the big Four blades turning in would lift the stern. They sure didn't yesterday. Lee is on his 27th performance boat an AO with a 555" BBC NA approx. 750 hp and is seeing 92 mph ,in 25 years so I have no reason to doubt him just looking for more opinions on propping for my hull. I am 47 yrs old with a Degree in Mech. Engineering specializing in machine design so I understand engineering. I just need some info from someone who has been where I hope to go.

As a point of reference, before I bent my Spinellis I ran 86 mph with 5 people and 80 gal. on fuel with the Spinellis two months ago and 92 mph with 2 in boat and 75 gallons of fuel.

Funny Sam I am known as Token at the Ammo point where I work as all my employees are Black. They used to call me the double stuff in the Oreo cookie of the ASP. I generally get up at 430 am to be on site at 6 as we crankup the ranges at day break.I"m going to lay back down and try to get a couple of more hours of sleep before swabbing the deck. After 21 yrs. of getting up at 430 its hard to sleep in. The 60 somethings at the restaurant at dinner last nite laughed at me as I told them I was headed home at 630 to get some rest Thanks to all for any advice.

P.S. Anyone have or know were I could find another Hoss 15x27*? I looked on SandF. I plan on calling BBlades Monday to rent the Blasters on Lee and Randy Coursons recommendation.

Cant sleep so removed head from rectum to answer my own question I think. I am comparing the 32 DW to my hull. Apples to oranges. We ran 5 blade Herring Bravo style over the hub to 107 with 280s in the DW. The DW generates MUCH more lift than my mod vp style Talon at speed. The Bravos on my Talon are lifting the bow and PLANTING the stern! My Talon likes neutral trim with the cleavers allowing the hull to generate its own lift? Correct ? DUH! The cleavers aren't actually lifting the stern. They are allowing the hull to WORK itself.
Once again Craig and Sam and any others in fresh water here we have had rain watch out for debris. Saw plenty of crap with all the rain we have had yesterday.
Check back in few hours for opinions. Enjoy your cats boys.

Yes that boat is wood as are all of the Argentinian hot boats. They also build larger models and are not uncommon as a few of them run in x-cat .
