Kind of bites into one of the main reasons for running tin. Weight distribution has to be a mess with that on the back. And no matter what you strap to an aluminum, it is still going to be limited on speed by the hull material. Those are a few. More power to them though, pun intended. WeekendWarrior 1
Ketchup Posted March 15, 2017 Author Posted March 15, 2017 On the BBC in the Xpress boat forum, Bob has a youtube video of his X19 "which i have" running 87 gps. not too many glass boats will run that speed. The express boats have a pad hull which makes them a different beast. It's funny in that video it's during a tournament take off and several glass boats take off first and as the video progresses you see him passing one after the other. Pretty cool stuff for us aluminum boat guys Ham 1 TinBoats BassClub. An aluminum only bass club. If interested in info send me a PM.
dtrs5kprs Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 No interest in running 87 in a glass boat. Even less in aluminum. I have a picture in mind of a ruptured shell case. Champ188, Donna G, vernon and 2 others 5
