what is the boats top speed? what horsepower is that?

[mattspidermanking]

still only 40 mph, 90 hp but needs a better prop

[fknbozo]

looks good man. trim it up a bit and let it fly

[mattspidermanking]

im still scared to trim it, gets squirly in the front, starts bouncing from side to side

[paleoasis]

would love to see it i wish i could find one. it ain't a glen-l , by any means. much nicer. DAMMIT! I WANT ONE!!!!

[mattspidermanking]

we orginally got the plans online. Its called the X1. Buy my dad and I changed everything from about the driver up.

[Corrybasler]

your trim is way wrong, try going up abit more.

[chipmunkguy666]

god created trim for a reason goodbye blue band mercury

[gump54]

please tell what the plan kit was called for this boat, i want to build on in the worst way

[rangerbass519]

@mattspidermanking don't be scared to trim it. Pick it up until it starts bouncing from side to side (or chinewalking) and steer out of it, you'll love the result.

I had a 17ft Chriscraft ski boat w/ the same motor that would go over 45mph. U should be getting at least 55mph. Something's not correct.

You wont get too far with that 90hp Mercury. It was built for torque. Its a ski boat engine. Fun never the less but you need a 115 Mercury. I have been working on these for years. You might get 60mph out of the 90 but with a 115 it would be crazy fast.

[swarne8]

60mph+ with a 35hp Merc boats 11 feet at the most, check out my hydro vid, talk about efficient

[aaron31295]

He's right. Hydroplanes are meant to ride on a cushion of air. To reach a good speed you should at least be trimmed even to get air under the hull

At least you didn`t loose the motor this time out ,,lol
