Slideblues · Dec 6, 2004

Guy's I have been thinking bout this for some time and was talking to Ron O in tha chat bout it too, I would like to do another 21 shovel, But I dont know enough to fill a teacup on whats out there, So fill me in here, Whats the choices?

With the Sport 20 class becomming more and more popular others might be interested too, just hope there is no big deal bout the rules.....

21 Size hydro. Not very many. Round nose very few. Mto, but the new one will not be ready for some time 5-6months? Ira cotton wood boats. I do not know of any others. If you want info on the ira boat or the mto. Reach me at [email protected]. I still have one older boat left. I also have the cowls for ira's boat.

Hey Slidey! I think you should get that "CAD" program turned on, Draw some

lines, Make the sponsons go from here to there, angle it up from the center,

Round in the front and Square in the back and Just Go For IT !! If you can't

Do it ,,Who Can?? When get yours done,,Build Me One. OK?

But You Gotta Have That Big Fin On The Back,,

Slideblues · Dec 6, 2004

Meee........Design a Hydro ? Sheeeeet fire it would go faster backwards :lol: :lol: :lol:

It is a tough choice, updated or classic style,

Well , I guess I could spend $179 on that one above,,and learn a little,,I just

gotta have That Big Fin. It probably hauls more in batteries than what I would

put in it. Do all the .21 inboards have to have the 180 degree header??

Sport 20s are perdy pop over here,,been lookin at em alot lately. <_<

Speakin of "goin backwards" , have you ever seen that syle of boat do those

360 degree "brodies",,At Full Throttle! Guy up here had an 1/8th scale "Miss

Bardahl" that would Swap Ends, Twice, , a full 360 in about a 1/2 a second and

keep on going! And do it several times in one race :blink:

Slideblues · Dec 7, 2004

I have seen one get loose and spin out, Doin 360's sounds like my drivin :lol:

Hey Gene, I sent you a PM

Slideblues · Dec 7, 2004

Got it Wade just reply'd

Jerry Wyss · Dec 7, 2004

Thanks for the pic Gene,,I'm in negotiations with the maker of that "Supertest"

boat right now. How 'bout usin' the Irwin muffler on his new OB and pipe it out

the side instead of runnin' a pipe all the way down the side of that "handsome"

lookin' thing?? You'd probably give up some torque but it could also "Loose the

Dawgs" as far as RPMs are concerned :blink: :blink:

Whoops,,The message I sent you Mr Peter Richards did'nt Go.

OK, I'll ask you right here,,In front of "GENE" and everbody,

Will A Nitro Motor Work In Miss Supertest?

so much for negotiations

Thats a possilbility, Ya might be able to fit a low volume 21 pipe under the cowl with just the stinger out back by the fin,

Gene

Generally speaking the 18 cell and up hulls around 28-30 inches would work, you might have to add some bracing here and there and a set of rails, really depends on the layup if its a glass hull.

Peter can answer this better on a wood hull, possibilly sub some balsa parts with ply etc.

The Miss Supertest was originally designed as a sport 20 hull. It is all plywood. No balsa except for a little piece in the nose as a joiner for the top and bottom.

The boat is strong and light!

The cowl is all vacuum formed ABS so you can put whatever motor and pipe in there you want with little modification.

An Octura mount will drop right in to the hull. (1/8" spacer on each side of the mount for adjustment.)

We have run them at over 48MPH with electric power on 18 cells.

Not sure how fast our Nitro customers have had them going.

All the responses we have gotten back from customers is that they love them.
