Love the cowl. What the top view look like?

 

[GUPPY]

I'm liking it

is that what the hull is gonna look like?

 

[namba276]

Thats what its gonna look like...

Guys, District 9 had their awards banquet last night and I donated one of my new hulls. My very good friend Tony Ojeda acquired the boat from Glenn. He wants to run the boat in P spec hydro...I'm pretty excited to turn the corner into FE racing... With the help of some gifted FE guys in our district, this could really blossom into a great opportunity as a boat builder...

Har, Har !!! Was Glenn playing Hot Potato???

Glad to hear that Bob. I have contemplated getting into FE also, doing some research so I won't use a motor or ESU as a fuse.

CHEERS !!! Bob

 

[namba276]

Guys, getting ready to laminate cowl plug...wax on wax off

 

[GUPPY]

is that gonna work for rear exhaust????

 

[namba276]

It will work...In one of the last hulls I built, we off set the engine to fit the wrap header. It's a 5" engine well...You will have to modify the mount to fit. I don't like gluing blocks and using a 4" mount in a five inch well. With a front box, we need clearance for linkage. You can send me a mount, your engine and header, and I'll make sure it fits.

Bob

notice in the pic that the mount has been modified to move the engine over 1/4" to the right. This enabled the wrap header to fit under a cowl that may be slightly narrower. Also...we have another whole inch of width to work with...drop mount from a mono puts the header near the base of the cowl, it's widest point...

 

[GUPPY]

thats a front exhaust....Im talking about a rear exhaust

 

[Jim Mamaril]

No, that is a rear exhaust motor. A Mac would be an example of a front exhaust motor,

 

[namba276]

they both will work...

CHEERS !!! Bob

It was tempting to keep it but Bob is trying to build up the class. I didn't budget for .21 motors next year and Tony really wanted it.

Here's a modified Tuttle hull I may run again someday. Needs a new cowl and want to move the radio box to the front.

 

[GUPPY]

ok my mistake how would it work with a front exhaust with that cowl?

 

[namba276]

Rich...pipe goes straight back and exits either at the cowl or transom...which engine are you running??? A mac??I thought you were running a rear exhaust NR.

 

[ron upton]

wow that hull would be great aginst the whips in fe p-spec....tons of room for the batteries up front and all...I take it it will be less then 34 inches.....looks great too

 

[namba276]

The hull is 30 inches long...what do most of the P-spec hydros measure? Are all the motor mounts the same? I need to do some research. I will build you one...400.00 shipped in US

 

[GUPPY]

havent decided which one yet. I have a MAC but I also have an Andy Brown Converted MAC outboard or

I was going to get a 21DD from Glenn

 

[namba276]

Mac would be the easiest to set up.

 

[namba276]

Made progress today...I really like the look. Its basically that gen 2 hull...with a little added crown and no non-trip on the afterplane. I think that combined with the new cowl, make it look more like a 5 liter than any of my previous hulls. Thats a look I've always wanted. Getting rid of the non-trip lightens the rear section of the boat. Less lift needed...the sponsons haven't changed...it will still have a bellypan. Bob

 

[namba276]

Guys got the winglets glued in today...I'm pretty stoked with the boat...got the look I was striving for...sometimes you start building and you just wing it!
