McCulloch weedeater fitted with prop and attached to small inflatable. Needs more power. Nitrous next, maybe!

  • A smaller prop is needed if more power is not achievable

  • @stuart18100 Agreed Stuart. Having trouble locating something suitable but I'm looking at cropping the existing prop(s). Have a look at "Weedeater Boat Project Phase2". It gets along a bit better with two motors, but the inflatable is too blunt. I've built a planing hull which should appear as "...Phase3" before too long. Still looking for some props...

  • @LyonsdenNZ cropping should be a last resort, sometimes it can have an undesired affect. Usually bad balance on the prop leading to violent vibrations. If you crop maybe consider not reducing the diameter, instead reduce the width of each blade, that can result in better balance but still less resistance for the motor so it can rev higher

  • @stuart18100 Thanks for that. I'll try doing it that way if I can't find a couple of more suitable props. Cheers.

  • Pretty Cool Great to Watch!

    

  • @PBKiteboarding . Fun to do as well! "Weedeater Boat Project Phase2" was even more fun, and funnier to watch. Sort of doing donuts on the water. The 3rd phase is not far away!
