55" Enforcer Manta Ray
EZ-25 WH/Zenoah 25.4cc Gas Engine with clutch and water cooling(4hp)
WH wet tuned pipe
Measured at 34 mph before some tuning and prop changes that probably gave it another 5-6mph.

TIGHT! i looked at that b4 i bought the fountain, it didnt have the back end i wanted hehe... im picky.

[Chris LaPanse]

Thanks. Nice boat yourself, btw. Can't wait to see some running shots.

[nighthawk355]

hhe, ok. Well the 4th of july is when i'm takin it up to the puget sound... (salt water) icky... i know, BUT im really good about cleaning, and all my outside nuts n bolts are all goo'd to prevent rust. But i'll see if i can get some jumping shots. The waves out there on a semi day are 1-2ft. hehe cant wait!

-Garrett

[Ron Olson]

I'll try to post a shot of part of one of my fleet.
http://www.rcflix.com/photopost/data/506/612FR05_151-med.JPG
On the table is my MAC .45 powered R/C Marine Designs SuperSport 45, behind is what my son runs, a Speedmaster 21 with a Rossi and way back on the ground is my Microburst Picco 7.5 mono.

[nighthawk355]

SWEET!! I like that yellow! And the graphics. You didnt over do it on those. I've seen some people just deck theres out all over... i dunno.. it just doesnt look relaistic sometimes.
I wish i had a fleet! I'm workin on it tho lol This is just my first big RC boat. I hope on gathering up like 5 huge ones. My next one i want to use MHZ Dual Z-Drives, powred by a MHZ Polini 50, all conclealed in there MHZ Hunter V hull. But thats many years away right now... hehehehehe

-Garrett

[Ron Olson]

That's the way I wanted to do it. I tried not to overdo the graphics or load it up with too many decals. I may add some subtle things later on.
I have some pix of more of my boats but I've been having problems lately trying to upload them.

and a few dozen others in the last few years. They come & go depending on what side of the bed I wake up on.

[scorpien boats]

Here is my boat
It is eventually going to be a scale model of a pantera race boat (z drive and a more scale pipe) but that is a long time from now.

for now it has a zenoah g260pum lime green head, bonzi lime green clutch, bonzi lime green mounts, walbro water pump, Hanson pipe, still not sure of the make of the hardware.

the inside is grabber green and the outside is "universal black" (duplicolor arcrylic enemal)and thats all I can think of.

[scorpien boats]

pool shot

[bugfanatic]

I want to see some flaming skulls!! Come on, racing stripes & cheesy flaming skulls add at least 5mph to your top end.

[Chris LaPanse]

well, I've got the stripes - does that give me 2mph?

[nighthawk355]

lol, ya you get the extra 2 lol. Nice boats y'all!! I like the stealthy black look, hehe. How did you paint the fiberglass inside green??? just regular spray paint???? Also, how come, or whats the advantage of running an open engine compartment like that, and not an enclosed one like in mine? just curoius.\

-Garrett

PS: Scorpien, i was surprised no one had put up a thread like this... hehe So, thats why i put it up!!, cause its fun to show otheres what you have created, and then other people can get ideas for even there boats. So its nice =o)

[scorpien boats]

there is no advantage to running an open engine compartment (unless your engine is aircooled which mine is not) my gay pipe won't fit under the deck so I have to have it like that untill I find another solution...

painting the fiberglass inside I used duplicolor engine enamel (from autozone) because that was the only kind that had that color. It took alot of coats but it worked great.

[Ron Olson]

That black with those eyes on it reminds me of some Halloween lights that I used to hang out.:)

Allright, tight tight. Ya now that i thought about that question lol i got mine covered because i want it to look as realistic as possible, plus i plan on taking it in salt water and i would hate to get that spray on the inside... yuck.... hey... another QQQQ, what would you say is the best solution to getting rid of salt water after a run??? Like is there a special type of like spray on cleaner thats totally safe on all my components in my boat?

You're not the first to do so. Every once in a while a thread like this comes along and eventually goes away. :( After a little research maybe one of us can dig up the other threads and put them here.

[scorpien boats]

I think we should just keep this one alive, or make it a sticky...

[Doubledog]

Sounds good. Needs be kept alive instead of dying by the wayside like normal.

I'd like to see a pinned prop swap thread also. Post what props you've got and what you need. I've got a few dozen to get rid of. Not for sale, but swapped out.

[Ron Olson]

I'm having problems yet uploading pix so I'm using some that were posted on another site. This is my Microburst with the Picco .45, Speedmaster hardware, Irwin pipe and a JR radio.

BTW - that reminds me DD - I will definitely be running (unless there is something like a blizzard or tornado or other unavoidavble issue) 1 week from Sat, and will try to get some #'s on that prop of yours so I can get it back to you ASAP. Sorry about the long delay on getting it back to you, I just have been very busy lately.

[nighthawk355]

YES KEEP THIS ALIVE. i love seeing what other people do to there boats. !!!
Plus, there pictures help me out in assembling mine since Bonzi' still wont give me any diagrams or nothing even though the owner said he had them when i was buying the boat =o(. oh well... They are nice people tho.

Like, i have one prop... its a berryl... something 275... prather... anyways, How many should i get? like 2 more? Cause how often do people go through them... Also, mine are not balanced or trimmed or anything... i dunno how to do that stuff, plus Bonzi' told me i could get away with just runnin these non balanced etc props. Do i loose any speed? If so, how much?

[Chris LaPanse]

You definitely loose some speed - probably 6-8mph if the prop isn't balanced. If it is balanced, but not polished or sharpened, probably 2-4mph, and polished, sharpened, and balanced will give you the best speed. Also, if it is not balanced, it will damage your driveline eventually from the vibration.

[Doubledog]

$18 for a prop is cheap insurance. Buy an extra. I know guys that run them unbalanced on hulls the size of yours & then slap the same prop on just super thin & sharp & it gains about 2 mph. Not noticeable with the naked eye, just makes for better bench racin'.

There's a saying especially true in the single outboard areas......."never turn down the chance to try another prop".

[Doubledog]

Chris, get some good runs with it alright. Make sure its either going to work or not for your boat. :)

[Chris LaPanse]

Thanks. As I said, definitely a week from Sat. (next saturday is a large rocket launch, and I will be flying my AMRAAM for the second time on a Redline motor. I'll post some pics in my thread in the OT forum)

[nighthawk355]

Aight. Well i think i'm ganna learn how to balance them later, and right now maybe purchase a already balanced prob from bonzi for 50$.... I dunno any other place to get it cheaper... again i just need something thats not ganna ruin my boat and take away a ton of speed.

-Garrett

[Micho523]

Get one from warehouse hobbies. (whobbies.com) their prather 275 is about $18 +15 for sharpen and balance. they don't polish though, they may if you ask, at extra $ probably

[Chris LaPanse]

Yep, and the P275 or (now that I've tried it) the X470/3 are perfect props for a G260 powered boat (probably the 275 in your case - the 470 might be a bit small for a 60"+ hull)

[nighthawk355]

alight, tight! Ya, that price is much better, and i am not ganna be picky about being all polished.... i mean.. when do u see a prop? lol its in the water!!!. Except fi your showin off yer boat on the stand...

[Chris LaPanse]

Polishing does affect the speed - not noticeably for sport running, but it does add 2-3mph (all other things being equal). However, it is not necessary for the boat to run well, or to have fun.

[JoeP123]

Also, mine are not balanced or trimmed or anything... i dunno how to do that stuff, plus Bonzi' told me i could get away with just runnin these non balanced etc props. Do i loose any speed? If so, how much?


Read the thread "Props--Sharpen, balance & polish". I never did one before either and after reading this and another article about it, it was a breeze. And a prop balancer is real cheap, I paid 25.00 Cnd for mine, the TopFlite Magnetic Balancer.

yup, already done that! hehhe. i went straight to that forum and printed it off, and also another forum about blancing etc. I stil need to finish reading both of them n highlighting important stuff. But i'll do that later. I just want to get this thing running in time for the 4th of july.

Lets see some more pics !!

[nighthawk355]

dang... i just ordered my engine from Mr. Hanson, and that exhaust system is really involved!!! like... i have ot cut places on it, and it has to be 11" long, and then like somewheres on the manifold or something cut another 3/16. Is it normaly this confusing for somone new ot this? or am i just like... dumb? lol i mean... my head hurts... i cant comprehend it all lol

[Ron Olson]

Okay, a shot of another one from a fleet. Most of you have seen this one before also. It's a .12 sized version of the Wild Thing built by Grimracer. O.S. .12 powered, Mac pipe and Futaba radio system using Hi-Tec HS81-MG servos for both duties. Hardware is a combo of Octura and home-made. The boat is very fast for a small block, one of my favorites to play with until the IMPBA "A" mono class gets going around here. There are videos of it in www.rcflix.com of it running. It's under OB Nut's videos in the Members area.
http://www.rcflix.com/photopost/data/506/612FR05_14-med.JPG
BTW, when he took the shot I was in the middle of doing a header change if you notice that the pipe is sitting in there backwards.

[ejp]

Heres the mini manta with the first little designs. I will put more stuff on it because now it looks pretty plain. :o

[ejp]

Prolly something like this on the side :cool: Maybe a little wavier(sp) or maybe just like it. To think, My dad could have bought this boat for $13,000 :eek: It was worth about 25. :rolleyes:

Its only a 23 ft boat or something like that. Did you notice it is a steped hull??? I just noticed that looking at the first pic:D

[Doubledog]

Oooh, I could polish that prop up something else :D

Nice boat Ronny Boy.:)

[Chris LaPanse]

That mini manta is looking nice, ejp. How's she run?

[ejp]

It runs like S&*T :mad: Last time I ran it I couldn't get it much over idle. Amost sank it while it sat for 1hour in the water :o I put the miss bud pipe on it and I am going to run it and the Nitro hammer with the new engine :cool: :p

[Ron Olson]

Yup, it's all wood, just like the Wild Thing 21. I didn't want to paint it because Mike "Grimracer" Zaborowski did such a nice job of building it that it would be a shame to cover it with paint. Mike is coming out with an epoxy-glas version of it. The mold is done and a few have already been pulled from it. I have no idea of how many that he built from wood but very few that I know of.
I did use some carbon fiber angle for the servo mount and strut mount. Included was one of his famous fuel cells and an isolated motor mount. On his site, www.grimracer.com are 2 shots of it before he sent it to me.

[Chris LaPanse]

Sounds like you just don't have enough power. I know that hull will get up and dance when it is "motivated" to do so.

I use to run with this boat when I had my 53" Hydro, the original owner let his in-law drive it(very bad idea), and up on shore it went. Big hole in hull, it sat in his garage for 6 months. So I rescued it, repaired it, bench tested and thats it.
Maybe this weekend I will be able to test it.

You really like the 50" bonzi, don't you :D

[2mannytoyz]

Actually I Just got the 50' Edge bonzi about a month or so ago and was very pleased with the performance and wanted to step it up a knotch and get the same hull with a mod engine and personal graphics too. We will see how the new one works out. I'm kinda lookin at getting a cat now and need to do some research on what is the best set up. Any input would be appreciated. :)

[2mannytoyz]

The Budweiser 50' Bonzi is a Edge model with a air cooled engine. The canopy was cut to give it a little air although it still ran way hot!

[nighthawk355]

How do you know if the engine runs to hot? OR to cold???? what are the signs?

-Garrett

[Ron Olson]

You burn your fingers when you touch the head! Do NOT lick it! :p No, seriously, you can do the good old-fashioned spit test. Drop a little on the head and if it sizzles, it's too lean. Generally a fried glow plug tels you that it's too lean also.
Too cold and it's too rich or else the water that you're running in is too cold. After the ice is off the ponds my boats don't run well as the cold water is overcooling the engine. If you can touch the head for a few seconds after bringing it in from a hard run, you are close.

Here's one of my brothers masterpiece, 3-1/2 years in the making. Totally hand made. Excluding the motor and electronics. All of the castings were done by me, except the prop. We are hoping we can cast some nnice large scale props in the near future. This thing is seven feet long 23-1/2" wide, weighs in at 62 pounds. Is powered by a Toro 25cc edge trimmer adapted to electric start using the guts from a Ryobi 4-1/2" power saw.

How quiet is the Bonzi' pipe and does it offer good performance? Was told by the designer that he intended its use for the cars as they need more low end torque. Doesn't matter, if its quiet enough, I might consider one.

Looks like your getting the lynx bug dd lol, just doing abit searching on a lazer 40 or 45, against a lynx, the lazer would be far cheaper but only glass, need to think about the pound to dollar thing now lol. Knew i shouldve brought my boat over. :)

[Doubledog]

Yea, I'm in love with it for sure. That one boat ( SASSA III ) is a breath taker because of its lines. They flow............

My PSR Fighter is a fine boat and they run as fast as some of the Lazers. Theres not much need for me to have two very similar boats on the shelf. I bought an AC Saber just before coming here that'll be my next play boat. Sent all my engines out for tuning and have some new quiet pipes on order. Can't wait.

[Shonka]

Hi, i av a shockwave 36, what can i say but this boat does move and handle but the one i'm building will be abit faster i hope, its my first gas engine, waiting for tuned pipe to come and a couple more bits...Shonka...

Will post some in the spring.

[Ron Olson]

I feel your pain, I'm straight across the big lake from you. Wow, a heat wave at the moment, 21 degrees. It was 3 this morning.

[Capri25]

Well its not my RC boat but its the best I can do for my first post. I will try and go into more detail over the next month or two. I have a Prather Tunnel Cat, I bought it back 15 years ago and have never finished it. It has been sitting in the attic of my parents home, honestly I forgot it was even there. Everything is ready to go except for buying the servos, and some cables. the Photo below is my real hobbie, 1980 Capri 25. We race the boat hard all season long.

wow.. that seems like a pretty small boat for a g260 with a pipe. Should be an interesting boat to get a handle of id think :)

here is my popeye cat it is under constuction again winters make me crazy so i take things appart and improve them .. :rolleyes:

[Doubledog]

Bringing it back from the dead....


Here are few new rigs to grace my office. I love these old tunnels as they're so close to the real thing and you can buy them fairly cheap now. Anyone need a K&B OB? LOL.

The first one is almost perfect. Needs nothing but a nice wooden stand and a little wipe on the engine and a polished prop.

.

[Doubledog]

I'm in love with this boat. Its really something else. Just bought it the other day and it has one bad spot and its a tiny one at that.

This engine might not be the fastest, but it will not get ran again as long as it lives here.:)

.

[Doubledog]

Here's the second one I picked up from Water Cadet. Its a DPI tunnel that he's taken excellent care of. It'll need very little attention to get display ready but will make an excellent finished product to compliment the collection.

[ScottOram]

Its not fast.. But its BIG...

Wow - how big is that one?

Looks great :D

[ScottOram]

8 feet long, 2 feet wide, 2 1/2 feet tall, and about 85 pounds.

[Chris LaPanse]

Wow...

That is an amazing boat. It must take a (full size) trailer to get it to the lake :D

[mirich57]

This started off as the King's Ransom. I did a little fixing up and now it is about as close to the Black Pearl as I could get it.
