For sport boating I would run 40% nitro with 20% oil. 2% of the oil being castor. That is going to burn a ton of fuel so lower nitro will keep it economical with good performance. Heck they would run fine on 20% nitro. Oil content will get you 100 different opinions, but my recommendation will be safe.

Yes sir twins and just for fun,and would I see a difference in performance in the higher nitro content? How high of a nitro content is safe to go with on a stock engine ?11cc.. two of them.. sport boating?.. I would use "whatever" 15%...
I would just get a nice castor syn blend like Wildcat or Byrons from any hobby shop and have fun with it.
Most of the Brick and mortar stores will have it for just under or about 30 bucks a gallon.
Thank you I will look them up do you know if there will be hazmat charges to go along with the order?Riches Brew.
Torco Doesn't have castor, but many have good results with it.
No Jon I am in the Milwaukee Wisconsin area!Jim where are you located? I thought I saw something you posted from the Brandon pond, if you’re in the area then it will save you time and money to call John Otto at Technology Hobbies in Brandon
Please post more pictures of the boat. I would like to see some running shots as well.We are playing around with an outboard mono too. Write me at [email protected] and we can trade info.

I will have to start a thread for it because we will derail this thread and it was originally about fuel and things just got off track. I'll post some more pictures of the frame. Mike and I decided to build it just to see what could be done with a mono. It hasn't made it to the water yet but should not be much longer. We pulled some ideas from hydro sport into the design and just went from there.Please post more pictures of the boat. I would like to see some running shots as well.
Thanks,

Yes I have 40% nitro. VP is 18% oil. 20% is castor. 35$ a galJim,
Not sure if your your still looking for fuel, Dan Pralle of the Riptide Model Boat club is a dealer for VP racing fuel and he is located an hour south of Chicago. He has 60% that is easy to needle. I am pretty sure he also has the 40% VP
I am racing at the St Anne Pumpkin Fest next weekend (9/21) and can pick up fuel for you if needed. I am through Milwaukee every day on my commute.
If interested, PM me to discuss further.
