Well, she splashed today, and she ran well. This hull handles very well and the boat looks good on the water. Only caveat is the motor I used ran a little hotter than I would like, it’s a long can 400 with the flux ring removed, and with think it’s wound a little hot for direct drive. We also think that removing the flux ring (necessary to get the motor to fit stock mount) altered the timing a bit, allowing more kv but also more heat. So, I swapped the stock unit back in place, we’lol see how that goes. However, nothing smoked, it ran well and came back dry inside every time, and I like her..a lot!! Good show Graupner/SJ!
