Reclaiming "the dust"

I bet that with a coat of paint, you will be hard pressed to find the rapair!

The rebuilt Magnum was on the water for the second time today and I have to admit it runs rather well. I have a K&B 3.5 SX(water cooled) on the boat, was running 55% Wild Cat Fuel, had an Octura X 438 prop, and the c/l of the prop is about a 1/4" above the sponsons. Basically a neutal thrust angle. Nice flat ride and the motor was unloading(the X438 allows that). Great in the corners.

If I wasn't committed(or too stuborn to change) to my WOF designs I'd have to give serious consideration to running this boat.

And another. From the first photo, you can see I haven't bothered to repaint the replacement sponson.

One last shot. The boat is going to be raced in our District 8 Novice Class this weekend by a new member of our club. He's already talking to me about purchasing the boat RTR.

Jerry how does the SS and XS compare ?????

Re: "SX and SS compare?"

The SX on the Magnum is the best I've had one running. I ran a SX at our first District 8 race and just couldn't get the motor to perform. So, I switched back to my SS. However, after the NAMBA Nats I'll probably give the SX another try.

Just wanted to take a moment to say "THANKS" to Mr. Dunlap for giving this "how-to". Those types of skills are quite rare in my book.

I'll think twice about discarding a good hull the next time I put a scratch in it :blink:
