who is Ur painter I had a violent allergic reaction while painting my boats and need to find someone for any future work. Back in the day use to have Roland DeSteese in the Tri -Cites the guru of Scale boat painters do my hulls

 

[Jarcaines]

@TomGracey, Joey recommended the guy he had paint his Renualt years back. The drawback is that he is clear in Shelton. If you want I can send you his information. Just let me know.

Mark,
@RonShaw either is or will be selling this hull soon. It's a good hull from what I hear. Can't wait to get it on the water!

 

[Jarcaines]

Okay, question about setting up the saddle tanks. When you are building the tanks do you build them both identically? Meaning, does the pressure line go up into the vent bubble on both tanks, or does the second take (which uses the pressure line as a fuel feed line) get set up differently?

I’m not even sure that question makes sense. Let me know if I need to explain it better...

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

You set them up the same. It’s all
About flow on 2 tanks, so you wanna use larger line going from one tank to the other. 5/32 should be good.

 

[Hydro Junkie]

Location doesn't really matter(other than for balancing the boat) as it's all just plumbing. My scale Elam works well with twin tanks plumbed as follows:
1) pipe pressure tap to tank 1 vent
2) tank 1 outlet to tank 2 vent
3) Tank 2 outlet to engine carb or, if so equipped, the remote needle valve

I do have to agree with Sam, go larger on the line between the tank or you could have issues with consistent fuel pressure at the needle valve

 

[Jarcaines]

Thanks guys, great info.

Jarcaines-just so you know-this is NOT a Leecraft. I did not design it or build it or have anything to do with it. It may be a great running boat but my name should not be connected to it. This is a Ron Shaw deal and he should correct this.

 

[brad nichols]

Great looking boat! Is it done and running ? be nice to see some more pictures?

Tommy, thanks for the heads up. I actually knew that it wasn’t your design. It’s a Arno Berts design but when Alfred was selling LeeCrafts he laid these up and was selling them under that name. Sorry for the confusion, I just don’t know what else to call it. This one was laid up by Alfred before Ron got ahold of the molds.
