Mid sixties with a big mono is an accomplishment ......prop and setup , weight are all very critical as you probably know .
Yes I do you can have the baddest motor out there but if havnt got proper set up n prop your defeating the purpose.
Is your 60cc an inline twin mike
Ok thank you much for info I appreciate it.

im not sure what speed you are expecting out of that apache but they are a good scale boat but not really a fast boat, some have different opinions about how fast is fast, you hear about some apache owners getting all kind of speeds out of there boats but its a big hull and they have there limits, what im trying to say is you spend the extra money for a big horse motor and its not going to go that much faster, the 56 apache is a big rough water boat, its not a gas rigger
Ok thanks Mike.
Hey John ya it is a big boat & yes you are right it's not a rigger them things are rockets.im not trying to set a saw record lol.i just don't want to be a big slow boat.im a nitro guy myself & this is my first gas boat & big one at that I don't know the performance of all these different gas motors like I do nitro & just looking for somthing that's gonna push this beast along .

i built one for a fellow club member that i put a mod 26 zenoah in and with a g30 prop it went about 55 - 60 mph, it was as fast as the other g1 monos but did not corner as well as the other g1 boats, i am currently building a speedfreak 57 apache with a 30.5 zen, a big block with a 1.6 mm crank. ran it once with this setup and i would say it was a 60mph setup, cornered decent
I would be happy with that so I've had my eye on a zenoah 34.9cc redline mod motor according to stats plenty of horsepower & torque in your opinion is this a good powerplant for this boat

I got a strong 30 for sale with the tiger King 1.6 crank..it's basically new..done in September with no run time
Also in your opinion what would be more reliable 30.5 or 34.9
What are you asking for it & is it complete ready to mount

i was never a fan of the 32 zenoah as this is what that 34.9 i would imagine started out as, the 32 is a totally different motor than the 26 or the 29, the engine builders have been working on the 32 for some time now, never ran one and havnt got beat by one, my opinion stick with the 26 to 29 zenoahs, for your needs i would go in this direction
Ya when you get a chance can you send me some pix I'd appreciate it.
