Does any one know if it is better to use a semi surface dive aka surface piercing or a surface drive in a outrigger also i am not running real sponsons

Nice! It's so onerous to seek good quality data on the web at this time from educated sources, it is all wannabe's and reused content material with just a few exceptions. I hope you keep up the nice work and I seemingly be back to learn extra of your posts sooner or later!

I fibreglassed the whole boat finally and now using car filler to make it all smooth it will probably be another 2-3 weeks before it hits the water hopfully all goes well.

Do you belong to the Manukau club ?

thinking about going there it is a 40min drive for me. But mainly im not going there yet it because it only goes like 40-45kph and all the other boats there go double that speed. So once it get it to go faster i might go there

You need to get a prather prop with lots of pitch on it , they have great lift .
maybe you need to try a 3 bladed prop also with lots of pitch . if that doesnt work you can try using a flat it of thin ali and stick it on the stuffing box ( it acts as a ride surface to get the bum up )
I use this on my nitro hulls , its great .

i ordered a few bigger props from hobbyking and i will see how they go.
Is there a way you can adapt the shaft because my shaft is 4mm and all the octura, prather props etc are imperial sizes?

get your props from www highperformance models .com or hobby smart in NZ , they are both in NZ
mybe change your shaft to a 3/16th , you can buy already made up from the above shops .
anyway check this forum out , very very helpfull .
intlwaters.com/ you will find you will need to join , and its free . its people from all over the world .
enjoy . you will get heaps more info off them , than this website

I tried high performance models but they have turned into an online shop so i called them for advice and they said they will call me back and they haven't.
I think it would be hard to change the shaft to 3/16 because the bearings are 4mm maybe if i had a lathe.
