 test new boat design to day 23 ho gdsd 43.8 mph
You guys know I been playing with boat desgin a long time . I came up with a prototype of the gt extreme almost 20 years ago. It was made of kevlar and is still in service.
I have settled on a 17x52 incher that is being made out of a space age combo of kevlar and polyprolene and a propreitary fabric. Same stuff they are makeing bullet proof vest out of plus the new fabric and a special resin
It is tough, a sample plate with stood 20 hits at 50 yards from my 17hmr ( 20gr hornady v-max). It is truley bullet proof !!! It is light at only 183 lbs.
Only 2 problems, it does't hold paint well, but is straw colored, It reacts with flotation foam so you will need a commerical fishing lic to buy.
Intial runs with battery and 6 gal of gas pushed by a stage 4 23hp gdsd
43.8 mph, it ran flat but I had to slow down in the turns.
I am going to move the gas tank and battery to the front to counter bal the weight of a stock 35hp, with proper gears and reworked cleaver style prop , the computer has it running 57mph light and 53mph with a 3 man load ( give or take 5 mph)
The special resin takes 25 to 30 days to setup so I will only produce 12 boats a year. Cost depending on lay out, about 15K. Think about it you still get 40 + out of a stock GDSD, the money you save on stage 3 and replacement motors will cover the extra cost of the hull in no time. Your grand children will run this hull . I have two orders and will take on 10 more for the next 12 month's at that price.
PM for trest drive if you a interested.
