Dick,
You've been playin with the SS1, question on Prop Selection. I have now run the SS1 (12 cells) in my old MRP Hydro (not enough room to get CG correct, but it rips anyway), my SC26 and an old Jetstream converted to surface drive (ala Ken Joyce). I have tried a 442 (motor comes back cold), a 642 (motor comes back hot) and a prather 220 (motor comes back warm, just right) in all three! The weight difference and wetted surface area between these hulls is huge, yet the motor doesn’t seem to care. I am confused. Any thoughts?
In preparation for the arrival of my new H&M Hydro for LSH.
Thanks,
Ray
