87 mph Proboat Blackjack 24 

Thx man! Such a great feeling after so many trips to the lake and coming back with just a bunch of flipping videos lol. Experimenting with a canard between the sponsons and it seems to be working. Looking at the vid is basically just flying with only the prop in the water. More detail in the vid taken right before this that’s uploading now.

Thx man! Been a journey that’s for sure. Little more space and we might get into the 90’s lol.

Yea such a great feeling after so many disappointing days driving home. This drive home took forever being impatient and wanting to upload lol. Have the longer previous vid uploading now.

No prob man! I was so excited lol

@@VetteWay2Fast really i couldn't tell!

Haha

No prob man and thx! I knew it was a different approach using a wing and actually had a few laughs on the fb post but had to try something as it was near the limit w/o any help to keep it planted. (at least from my runs, others may be able to get similar or faster speeds w/o weight or downforce)

@@VetteWay2Fastwith the way mine is setup for 6S it is pretty heavy, so lets see what can be done for me. I have had a few 80+ blow overs as well, but the hull is holding up like a champ! As an engineer, i’m glad to see people test different approaches. Downforce for sure can be efficient. 💪🏼 They can laugh all they want, we are all here for the fun of it anyways right 🥳 Keep it up

Yea this is pretty heavy as well. Firma 160, 3674 2650kv with twin 3s 6000mah’s. Was stuck at a wall with consistent blow overs around 80-83. I think with tweaking the wing and a larger lake to speed up a little more gradually, hoping for the 90’s

Yea I was stuck at a wall in the low 80’s with constant blow overs so figured I had to try something. Originally tried weights but this seems to work a little better. Wish this spot was a little longer but kinda nice to have a straight path pretty close to shore.

For sure, heading to the longer lake on the next outing and hoping for the best! Appreciate it!

@@VetteWay2Fast it's there! If the longer lake doesn't do it. Reduce Rudder length a little bit at a time. She's got those 3 miles in her though that's for sure! Man I wanna see that!

Great idea! I didn’t even think about that. I think she’s got a little more in her too if I could get full trigger for a couple seconds longer. This little lake it’s well past me before I’m at full for a second or two.

Thx! Yea I think so too, hoping to take here out again in the next few days for another try!

Thanks!

They had a bj29 but discontinued it for some reason. I really wish they brought it back. The bj42 is a good basher boat but needs to be 6-8 inches longer for its width since it has a pretty severe blow over tendency at speeds

Thanks!

Thx! Yea there’s another bigger lake in the area but a 100 or so yard walk but after seeing that this front wing is doing its job, gonna head out there. The previous vid is uploading now

@gidohc i haven't had good weather in a while it seems and I haven't been able to send my boat and my BJ42 is damaged and being replaced. I know I can get mine into those high numbers. I've proved that it can be done!! #BGFL

It has a firma 160 esc, leopard 3674 2650kv motor and abc 1916 prop
