actually she will run on plane for about ten minutes at a time. The
limiting factor right now is the controllers we started with but we are in the process of upgrading both the controllers and battery pack we had her out on Hagg lake west of Portland for about four hours and we were running on plane for about 40 minutes of that time and the balance running at cocktail cruise speed. While the performance is limited at this time we feel we have a niche market that is unfulfilled at this time. She really runs better than you would think.

That is quite an accomplishment. Congratulations. Still think it would run better with a couple of Rolls Royce twelve cylinder Merlins though. :) |

Actually your response is the same as we have been getting ever since we
conceived the project. Now we are having the expressed pleasure of saying " Naner naner naner" G "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message ...

I have not seen that vessel. I have perused the Stancraft site though.
They have a wood hull with twin V10 Vipers! That is a much bigger boat than ours. We are also much less expensive than those monsters. Our twin screw boat is $120K with a trailer! Are you familiar with any of the electric drag cars? The white zombie uses the same motors as we do except they are dumping everything they have into the motors in less than 15 seconds. We want longer more gentle performance. If you go to fast in a boat you spill your cocktailsG wrote in message ...

I think the name is Outrageous, which is appropriate. My best guess is around a million bucks. That might be low. It's not my type of boat, but it's breath taking just the same. About 40 feet of highly polished and tricked out perfection. |
