My new Toy

[Mike Bontoft]

Lets see if this works. Today I tested my new GX1 eagle boat. 82 MPH pretty much right out of the box, and handles like its on rails. Boat weighs 13 pounds and is fitted with the new Quickdraw rear exhaust engine. I was running both 2170, and the new 2175 props pitched up a bunch and it pulled them easily, tached out at 20,000rpm. I am sure the boat will go faster but it looked so solid I decided to leave it alone for now. Thanks for all the help John and Andy, you make one hell of a boat. Heres a few more pics.

It won't let me post any more pictures right now, I wanted to show a close up of the engine compartment. The boat is a standard GSX 90 size and the rear port QD fits in there really nice. I added a small tub so I could run the big flywheels that come on the new QD,s. I,ll post some more pics as soon as it will let me. Pascal, go to www.quickdrawengines.com and look up 25cc rear port.

Very nice boat Mike, Im sure you will squeeze more speed out of it.

Care to talk more about the 2175 prop mods?

Or which do you prefer? 2170 or 2175?

Thanks

Very nice Mike, that rear exhaust & front carb sure cleans things up, almost tempts me to build another gas boat. BTW- anyone heard anything further on that big CMB gas motor that was supposed to be released in Feb.??? :blink:

Beautiful boat. CMD puts out unbelievable boats. The craftsmanship alone is worth the price. By far, the #1 boat out there today, and has been for a long time. Good job Mike, Andy and rest of the crew.

I just got done checking out the engine on the QD website, it uses a rather compact electronic ignition system that requires seperate battery. Definitely a very cool piece but that $1,500 price tag will put the major smackdown on your wallet. :blink:
