Hi All. Thought I'd share my current project with you all since there has been some interest around twin monos on this forum recently and over the years.
I have always wanted a twin mono, not to race, but to enjoy driving, tuning and looking at...
This boat is Jerry's new kit form twin mono he says he is now taking orders for....LOL (Had to throw that in there).
I managed to twist Jerry's arm and he agreed to build 90% of this boat for me. He kindly built the boat around a set of his motors, then disassembled it, removed his engines, and sent it over to me here in Australia.
To complete the boat all I have to do is install the engines, pipes, third channel mixture controls and build the radio box.
I am off to a slow start having recently finished a few other boats, but this boat now has my full attention.
First thing I did when I received the boat was to remove the engine mounts and shoot some black matt into the inside of the hull. I coated the black with some clear gloss.
I am at the point now where I am lining up the third channel mixture controls, unsure of where these will go as I am trying to get them as close to the carbs as possible. I am also trying to lay the radio box out as I plan to run twin water injection.
Here is a list of items going into this build
Hull: Seaducer 47" "Gas" Mono with black hull and Metalflake Deck.
Hardware: Custom Seaducer hardware made by Jerry. The trim tabs look like aeromarine tabs.
Engines: Twin CMB 101RS Evo H/O, modified by Steve Wood. Carbs have been modified for 360 degree rotation.
Pipes: Macs 1385 pipes.
Mufflers: Ken Retallick Custom Made rebuildable aluminium mufflers
Headers are CMB headers with water fittings installed by Ken Retallick for twin water injection.
I'll have more updates as I go. I'll be taking a break from building next week due to work commitments, but hopefully this wont take me too long.
