Mike,

Have you given any more thought about making a turbine cowl for the GSX380 nitro boat? I remember Anthony M. said something a while back about making one if he got the okay from you. Some of us don't like putting the tuned pipe down inside the boat..........

Dick, is it Namba or IMPBA that do not allow a pipe out of the top? I can't remember. I have never really thought about it, but I guess I could. I have not sold enough of these nitro kits yet to have any feedback on the current cowl..I wonder if anyone else would like to see one done that way? Let me know guys! Mike

A nice stand with Prop guard is now available for the GSX310 and GSX380 hulls! The prices are also a lot lower as I have changed the way they are made to minimize amount of cutting. I also modified the GP and SX series sport hydro stands to reduce cost on them as well. Same with the Universal Rigger Stands I offer! Check it out! Mike

Just pulled tape after clear coat, have 10 days to rig before Charleston.

You know I'll ding it up on assembly.

Thanks to all those who helped.

GREAT looking boat, Ray-Ray! You are a true craftsman in more ways than one. I can see this going 62 MPH right out of the gate............... Look out Charleston!

Looks very cool Ray!!!! Nice job!

Guys what is the ideal CG location on these hydros?

I am building one now, the nitro version but need to work on motor position and CG.

 

[DeanJohnson]

I believe you want 1"-2" inches behind the sponson heel for this particular hull.

 

[Ray Sametz]

I came up at 2-1/2 behind sponson transom. Was tight with engine forward enough and steering servo in rear.

 

[NeilSharman]

Thanks Guys.

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Anywhere from 1" to 2.5" will work, then fine tune from there. This hull has a lot of CoG flexability tho! Mike

Mines finally finished, are there any set up tips from anyone thats had theirs running? I'm going testing tomorrow
