Great work Steve! I think it's nice feeling when driving that big boy ;D . Did you get any problem with the twin engine torque?

Rashed

Hey Rashed Thank you !

Yes, it was great to get back on the water after a long winter !

No engine torque at all, but I was taking real easy for the first run!

I will change the prop for the next run. I ran a smaller prop for the test run !

Next prop is a VooDoo 7020-3 SS cupped .

Steve

Nice boat Steve

I'm planning to built a similar one but with an S6 drive. Do you think that a beginner will be able to setup this hull?

By the way to you know if expresscraft has a distributor in Europe?

Pambs

Thanks Pambs

I don't think Expresscraft has a dealer in Europe.
As far as building a hull like this for a beginner, it depends on your skills.
I would start with a 48" to 55" hull with single engine first.
It could be done, you will need help if you have no experience.

I've been building models boats over 30 years and this one was alot of work .
This was my first build with inlines.
I'm currently building 3 boats with inlines. One with a RCM drive like the S6.

Steve

There is a distributor in Europe selling Expresscraft. Actually he`s a very good friend of mine (and race competitor). His name is Jorn Markset, and his web site is www.fokusracing.no/html/expresscraft.html
Unfortunatly it`s only in norwegian, but if you send him a mail, he can help you. You`ll find the details here: www.fokusracing.no/html/kontakt.html
