Does MicroBurst still make them?

Olly
David Schower Sr & Jr plus Stan Simpson JR were in Charleston. I believe you will see more of these guys @ the local more in 2011 & will get back to producing boats. They all seemed interested in the New CMB Big Block Nitro Engines......

Who won F Mono in Charleston? Was it David Showers with a Microburst boat?

Olly

David Showers Jr won the F Mono class at the Fall Nationals in Charleston running a Microburst. David Sr told me he is going to produce more monos, nitro and gas, as well as his line of Microburst hydros, in 2011. They will be sold under the Mocroburst name.
 
Would think an AC boats LASER 40 would be a wicked racer with a big block nitro aboard :D

Deep V so it will carve a corner tight as you need and handle the rough MUCH better than the RAZOR

The Lazer 40 is already wicked with a strong 45 motor. The interesting thing here would be a Razor 45 with a 101RS. Maybe the 101RS is to much speed for the Razor.

being a high lift hull...the Razors can be unpredictable above 55mph in rough water...

I was not able to keep my Lazer 40 right side up for 6 laps with a Mac .67- may try a Rs 45 or Mac 45 next year. Glad to hear they will be making the Microburst hulls again :) .

Yes David JR Won F mono in Charleston with a micro & a old Grand Prix CMB 90. I could not keep the Blades on my Seaducer 44 Prop. Charles cut too Many Markers & I dont know where you & your seaducer went??????
 
Hull options for F-mono are going to be 1-1 on the power plant that you use.

O.S. 91 is a good motor, but it will need some run in and pond time to make the package work. Will it stay with the current field of 101 power SD'S. In my opinion..............NO! Can it be tuned in to run in the class ...........Yes. What hull for the best results? That is really a question of how you like to drive your boat. Most of the leading class racer have had a TON of time running. Most know what is going on and can tell you were they errored in thier set ups from race to race. Also knowing how much water your hull can handle should be considered. I have only seem one hull that I would consider for F-mono other than a SD. But them I have also built that hull for a friend in gas............and even there I did NOT follow the set-up sheet. Hint: I did not like Stinger drives. ;) ;)

I came 3rd overall. Would have done better if I had not dunked one heat.

But I have a new coach helping me over the Winter to make mine faster and not be such a submarine :lol:

Olly there are many set up`s & different props we race on the 44 Seaducer.. Looking for a little More RPM`ssssss myself..... the type & mod prop you are running will normally determine the set up.... Cannot tell you how much faster you will learn if you built more than 1 - 44 Seaducer Boat........
 
Just wondering outloud , whens the last time you snapped a stepped shaft off due to too much power Joe ?
I was running CMB90 powered 42" seaducers for quite a while. Before that I ran 42" hulls with a picco 80exr. The Picco 80 boat liked the 462 prop. The CMB 90 boats liked a 465. I ran Andy Brown modded 465's and would break complete blades off of the prop. They were thinned out just a bit too much. Then if I ran a self s&b 465, I'd break a stepped down shaft. After about 5 andy brown props, and 3-4 broken shafts - we started drilling out the 465 to 1/4" before sharpening and balancing. Never broke another shaft or snapped off a blade after that. That combo ran in the low to mid 70's at sea level and right at 68-69mph at NAMBA District 7 elevation - (3200+ feet)...

Jay, Come on to Evansville in Aug I will rent you a F mono....... Just fly in & relax.....
 
Joe,

Might have to take you up on that.. Last time I was part of the whole F-Mono rental program, Kenny Hildreth won US-1 with one of my monos! Might just be something to that! :)
