WHY?
Dont know about scratch build mono's( I run Seaducer ) but you cant go wrong with a CMB or a Mac. Mono's arent dead !!!Steve, I don't know why there is such a lack of information in this forum. I myself are looking for some plans to scratch build as I'm coming back to boating after 10+ yrs. That and setting up a business is why I've ordered an Arrowshark RTR( See previous post). I'm looking for .45 size hull to scratch build also a motor to use. Any suggestions anyone?
Your right Ron, its been WAY QUIET here so far-No, not dead but maybe Tom or Don can move some mono threads over here to fill the void. This forum is only a few weeks old and I don't know if people have really discovered it yet.I get to say that I had the first real mono thread in here! OK, it's only a stupid little .12 mono but it was the first.
WHY?
Drew, you may want to talk to Tony Jacuzzi as he brought the "D" mono class back form near extinction to possibly the most exciting class in IMPBA D-2. Having a points series helped out immensely.It's never seemed to be a problem anywhere that I know of to put a "B" mono class together.
My problem the past few years is that I've had surgeries at the wrong times of the years. My Microburst .45 hasn't even been fired up in 3 years and my .21 Speedmaster has only been out a few times. Driving to the other side of the state isn't cheap either to attend races.In D-2, a lot of brands have been represented from vintage Twincraft's to Seaducer's plus a variety of powerplants.
Don't worry .... we will be running a 40 soon....Drew, you may want to talk to Tony Jacuzzi as he brought the "D" mono class back form near extinction to possibly the most exciting class in IMPBA D-2.

Dont take that the wrong way. The 2 day dist races draw 7-9 boats no problem(For B-Mono)- Its the one day series we run that is only 3-5 boat heats . The 20's are popping up left and right. Mostly newer boaters to the clubs-all good- Just dont understand why more arent making the jump to 40 mono affter running 20 mono ? There is not that much cost differance really when using competative equiptment. Usually after a guy/girl cuts their teeth in the 20 mono- the next step is elsewere , not the next motor size up for the same style hull. 20 to 40 Mono. By the way Im talking B-Mono in Namba/.45 -7.5 motors.
By the way sorry to hear about your problems at twincraft-
Lets stir the pot a bit- could it be the reason for less involvement in some of these classes is due to the fact that for nitro there is really only one hull MFG thats is a truely competative boat ?? Lets face it , how many different brand 40 mono's run at your club??
SEADUCER Owns the MONO Business....... have for the last 9 years..... You either own One, are you are following one..... If your not the lead dog (SEADUCER) the scenery never changes.... :blink: if your racing? Only One Choice, If your sport boating? many like the Hulls with a higher freeboard side.Monos are far from dead in florida alot of nitro and gas boats Robert
