You drove it like you stole it, great cornering, both by the boat and driver. Love the clean wooden look as well! Cheers DJ

[@Sweetaccord]

Like I been saying for years, nothing beats a rigger for fun and speed and performance. Nice runs! Next is to get into SAW.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I agree 100% I've got a SAW rigger otw.

[@marxboatworx]

Man she was running the knife edge at full tilt!!! Brave around the Xmas trees…maybe the nose needs a bull bar!!!hahaha. Thanks for the shout out brother!! Glad you like the hat!!! All about the merch!!!👍🏻🚤BG4L!!!

[@IRONCLADRC]

A "bull bar" is actually a good idea. I've got some thin stainless steel i could cover the nose with like a bumper. Lol. Thank you for the GOODIE BOX,, I've been wearing your hat, "fits like a glove" thanks again brother in boats

[@79ltd]

The grease is used on O rings to seal waterproof - diving watches. I use it when reassembling watches. Never thought about using it for this application but it's a great idea. The little rigger was hauling ass!

[@IRONCLADRC]

I think the watch silicone will work on quite a few things in and around our boats, great idea Marx had. 💡

[@treyrahman]

I bet it feels so satasfying driving a boat youve completly made yourself 🤙🏼 That thing fricken rips dude !!! Cheers and congrats !!!

I did some work a few years back on modern sponson design ,and posted a couple of you tube clips. As the old school super wide ones are no longer needed to hold up the weight of an engine , well worth trying a set of parallel sided ones if you get a chance to make a set, it also gives you the chance to build in a full width bracket for the turn fin, you get less corner braking ,so less prop lifting as the moment arm goes forward, so less chance of spinning out .Not sure how you and doc keep motivated , great work both . Its possible i will get off my butt and run again .So many thanks, PJB

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thanks for the information brother, very appreciated. I'll check out your you tube videos, I'm all ears when it comes to these hydroplanes/riggers I've got alot to learn. 😆

[@paulbaxter160]

@@IRONCLADRC Doc has my email, as im happy to share years of angle of attack data , as there is no point doing lots of trial sponson shapes when that work has been done.

[@55steviegreene]

Great work on the rigger. It handles like its on rails

[@rodneyrasmussen1199]

We all love the videos, I like the mail videos too, BOAT GANG

[@brandonwynn9801]

I run mine with 2 small turn fins on speed runs. Only thing in the water at full trigger. Great run brother

[@IRONCLADRC]

Oh yea that's a good idea almost like an airfoil riding on the turn fins hmmmm.m!! Got the ole gears a turning now.

[@chilly7261]

Crazy good driving, that's NUTZ running between those Christmas trees! My JAE33 oversteers and hooks the turns like that too if I back off the throttle too much on the turns. I open up all my receivers and brush on silicone conformal coating on the boards, both sides. Never had an issue getting wet. Same for steering servos. I love how you share all your tuning tips, that's the right way, pass it on! Subscribed...

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thanks for watching and welcome the the channel, welcome to the "boat gang" thanks for the information as it's very helpful to myself and the viewers.

[@davidjohnson8474]

Very Very nice! It's the same size my 7.5 nitro was! I had the same issue you're having! The way I fixed mine was to make the front pontoons about a half to 1in thicker and in the back just like you did with the ski in the middle I put one on each side of the middle. It calmed it down. My boat on a speed gun went 89mph! Lol I also was on 65% nitro! Lol 😂

[@paintendaveextremecollisio8057]

Man that is fast ,Great Video👍

[@Dr_Jet]

That's the same power system (well, essentially the same) as I'm running in my Silver Bullet. It is a MONSTER. So is yours! I'm getting mine dialed in (had some stern hopping issues), but I don't get as much water time as you so it will take me much longer to get it right. I'm running a smaller prop to start (3218) and I think it allows the motor to spin up a bit faster for better efficiency. Waynerd gave me a Shrimp kit and now I have to do a lot of planning on how I want to power it. Featherweight or heavy-hitter...... So many options.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I think I'm about to put a recovery pad on the front of my sponsons, that may help prevent the "skip out/nose dive" in a corner ?

[@Dr_Jet]

@@IRONCLADRC You know that Waynerd gave me one of those kits, so I will be watching your experiments very closely. I'm thinking I may take the power system out of the Dona and put it in that wood kit rigger (Haven't settled on as name yet).

[@robertprokop8101]

My Prather Spitfire 1 has rear sponsons and a center ski that sits deeper factory glass boat held 21 class record for years 63 mph. I'm thinking about going electric but I'd hate to cut it up. 63mph with stock KB PRO 21 not bad for almost 30 years ago.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Oh man I know what you mean hard decision, personally i think you'll like Electric, you could basically tack an extra 10 mph maybe even 15 mph on that 63 easy.

[@nealstarling5422]

One things for sure, you can plant your boat in between those water features with ease. I believe you have the skills to race and be highly competitive. I have that same little shrimp outrigger, I just haven’t gotten around to putting a motor in it. What do you recommend? Yep I love to see your boats run flat out like that. Thanks for sharing.

[@IRONCLADRC]

It's not easy that's for sure I've whacked those trees a few time at 45 50 plus mph lol

[@215cyclone]

Following the progress on this since I’m almost done building mine ! Like to see some straight away runs to stretch its legs 🤣

[@IRONCLADRC]

Sure thing next run out well do a saw pass

[@slovikovski]

Hey big B. Can you say or show how you installed turn fin mount to the sponson ?

[@norcalrc]

Man , I need to build a rigger. That was running real nice

[@IRONCLADRC]

You'll love the build process it's actually fairly straight forward. The shrimp outriggers are fairly cheap to get on the water.

[@frankmonthomery9570]

Well that's hooked up...MAN it's fast ...wonder if that grease would work on Flex cables...

[@IRONCLADRC]

I don't think that watch silicone has the viscosity for flex cable it won't I definitely stick with marine Grease of some sort

[@frankmonthomery9570]

@@IRONCLADRC thanks B ya I'll stick with that Dynamite Marine Grease...

Sorry about the typo in previous comment. Drrrrr

[@jukkaovaskainen]

Wow, thats fast!!

[@215cyclone]

What prop were you running ?? Have you played with strut angle to stop the diving and hopping ?

[@IRONCLADRC]

3616 oxidean prop, I haven't messed with the strut since I've installed the ski. Only my second run out since the ski install

[@tonyp2263]

@@IRONCLADRC Dont see that Oxidean has 1/8" bore props. Are you shimming a bigger bore for the shock shaft ? thx

[@justski40]

that scares the hell out of me when they dive under like that lol....I was doing a almost 80mph run with my Outrigger and for some dumb reason I just let go of the trigger and it dove hard by me there is a lot of weeds it stayed under for over 2 mins I thought to my self there go's $700 wile trying to find it it popped up like a big fish jumping out of water lol

[@lukewilkins1190]

That’s word how that happens aye ahaha happens to me as well sometimes

[@IRONCLADRC]

I'm about to install a front pad on my sponsons "recovery pad" hopefully that will stop the nose dive.

[@ifly65]

More mail days!

[@215cyclone]

Have you tried it without a turn fin ? Mine seems to turn better without it. They don’t include one in kit also

[@IRONCLADRC]

Not yet I've been meaning to but just haven't had a chance....

[@Ozman45]

What is your favorite prop to run on the shrimp boat 3400 kv

[@IRONCLADRC]

I have upgraded electronics in my shrimp but i like running an oxidean 3519. It's a 3/16 bored prop that I've shimmed to work on my 1/8 prop shaft.

[@hoodatdare7039]

that things on rails.

I like your thinking almost like an airfoil type set up, less boat in the water, the faster shell go c'mon. Got the ole gears a turning now.
