This net 4 mph when I did this to the big boat. In comparison, this one is a Lot worse! We shall see. I put the hand held gps under the deck. May change boat attitude a lot, but it gives a general idea!

Glad i did this.... found out the arneson lower case was dragin a bit and the brain scientist that rigged it had it crooked.

pstorti

are you "blueprinting" the bottom or just roughing it up with sandpaper?

mcprodesign

both

pstorti

did it actually make a difference on the RC boat? What did you do to the real fountain?

That is a HUGE cardboard box! What's that boat weigh? 9000lbs? Why is the label so big on the box? This is just crazy! Did they ship a house in the box? Or two cars?

i ran about 92 or so and then on a day w 30 mph tail wind and nices waves i ran 94.8. Got me thinking. Then i tried herings and ran 93.6 on a calm day.... So i decided to bluepeint the bottoms and the drives. I went full boat so to speak. I fixed every little imperfection there was and re gelcoted the bottom. On a calm day w the water a sheet of glass i went 98.0 !! So yea it definatly is a good thing. The rc boat is still in the process. Stay tuned

Here you can see how far crooked the arneson was. About a inch or so in real life. You can also see where the housing "was" dragging. And it looks like the transome joint hqs seen some stress
