I built one of those kits. Goes together very well. Boat is a very fast great handling hull. Used an RCMK rear exhaust full mod 30. Runs really well. Build pics are on his smug mug site.

So I ordered my Venom Jersey Speed Skiff.will be installing a mod 26 and would like to know what props you guys are runningin your skiffs.

I am interested in adding a Jersey Speed Skiff as another class to run. What is everyone running for hulls? Looking for a good solid quality race boat. Thanks Rick

Thinking of putting a Zen 32 in my gas scale. Anyone running one? Is it enough motor or should I go to a mod 30. Thanks Rick

Decided to go with VC fin.

Thanks I already have both fins. Glad to hear it works well.

I am building an ML gas scale and need to make a decision on a turnfin. I have a Top Secret and a Virginia Craftsmen. I use a Top Secret on my Fusion Tboat and it works well but I heard good things about the Virginia Craftsmen on gas scale boats. Opinions please.

Here are a few pictures of my brother Dave's build. ML 171.

Mark. We have not run the boat yet but it is set up with a Zipp pipe on my RCMK K30 rear exhaust. I am going to order one of Daniel's pipes also just to see the difference. Rick

Lohring. Great post with lots of good info. Thank you. Rick

Sold my house and in the process of packing up . Should be set back up by mid July ready for some more boat building. 25 yrs of stuff. Lots to get rid of but found lots that I did not know I had or could not find. LOL. I really like and appreciate where this thread is going. Sharing tips and...

That's a great video. Nice to see the different setups and find out the boat weights. These are heavy beasts for sure. Love this class. rick

Marc That is a Zippkits pipe on there. I think they are less than $100. Good performing pipe and easy to tune in my experience. The header and connection are RCMK made for their rear exhaust motors. Again Redline probably carries them, . Have not fired up the motor yet so can't comment on...

Harvey I would love to get my CG 1/2 to 1 1/2" behind the sponson rears but without adding weight to the nose that is as close as I can get it. Dave's boat won't allow him to move his motor up as far as I did . Anyone else building this style of gas scale? Rick

Bob it is an RCMK catamaran motor mount. Got mine from Giz but he does not sell them anymore. Check the RCMK site. Rick

Redline has the K30 rear exhaust but they are stock motors. I would imagine they could modify one for you. Rick

I am Dave's brother and one of the ones building the extreme 173 kit. It will be the 95-96 Smokin Joe's. Made a lot of changes to the build adding strength where needed. Used carbon fibre 2" tape on all the seams and the bottom of the motor mount to stiffen it and strengthen it for the full mod...

The 95-96 U10 was a 9210 hull I believe. The back end is different as there were no winglets?????? The pictures that are up are for the 94. Think it was an 8700 hull that had those winglets ???? or whatever they are called. lol Rick

Insane boats has a Thunderboat driver that is close. Vintage helmet but kind of an ugly duck lol. $32 painted and $22 unpainted. Rick

Thanks guys. much appreciated. Rick
