Hi Guys,
I am working to help out a friend that wants to power a GAS sized hull with a FE set up (10S)... I am not here to start a pissing match about gas vs. rules. What gas sport hydro hulls fit within the IMPBA nitro/FE hull rules? Specifically, I am thinking the rules listed below:
f. The forward riding surfaces will be located within 50 and 60 percent forward of the transom for
the overall hull length and measured at a 90 degree perpendicular to the hull centre line.
g. Picklefork hulls shall not have open areas ahead of the forward riding surfaces totaling more than
25% of the total hull length. No other hull vent(s) are allowed.
h. The width of the bottom of the transom must be 65% or more of the width between the forward
riding surfaces. On a shovelnose hull that has a tapered transom bottom the 65% rule will apply
to the hull bottom at a point three a one half inches forward of the transom.
I should also state he is looking for a glass and/or carbon layup. He's not interested in a wood kit. Does the Whiplash GV work?
Thanks,
Mike
