Dude those are some big batteries! I hope to get my 30 on the scales in the coming weeks just to see the difference versus my 28.

Have you found something that out performed this or is significantly lighter?

I find its much easier to reduce weight by jettisoning passengers.

That's correct, let them buy their own boat.

Braille Batteries make an 11lb full size, lithium Ion battery. We have 2 in the race boat. Perform flawlessly.

not as small as the optima and a bit heavier. the battery box is made for a much larger battery so it makes them look larger than they are.

ryan...if the pricing on their web page is correct, I'll have to pass even though I'm tempted to buy two LOL

I have interest in the Todd Defillips water pump and shift shaft seals. Are you retaining the water pump impeller or are you omitting it with the remote pickup?

thanks

I am using the impeller. However the low water intakes on the gear case have been sealed up.
Todd's stuff is really nice and he is a great guy to deal with.

The impeller is required to be able to idle around and get on plane without over heating the motors and the alarms going off.

Happy to help you with any parts that you need just give me a call. (239)293-4731
Thanks, Todd
