The birth of boat 3 ~ part 2

After deciding that bits of boat 3 could be improved, I took the knife to it and rebuilt the superstructure to raise the wings and sponsons. Boat 3 still throws up a big wake at speed, but it can clear bigger waves now.

How much did it cost to make?

[geckozzed]

about $AUS50 for the hull, and about$AUS300 for the machinery and electronics

[timmygoffin007]

nice design for speed but not getting it

[geckozzed]

yep . . . it should go faster. I think my problem rests in the combination of motor and prop. Any suggesitons?

[sherbutorange]

dude that thing looks like it could take of

[Pmet2010]

Thanks!

[timmygoffin007]

rpms...sorry

[timmygoffin007]

ya... probably... and usually the more rmps the better. If you can get your hands on a better motor, then go for it but if not, try downsizing prop for higher rmps and less resistance. Good LUCK!
