Hey Racer,
I didn't read all 18 pages of this but good luck on the kilo run. Is there a weight rule over there? If not it's within reach.
I set the NOA record in 1985 with a 49 inch motor on a 13' Critchfield.
The record was 85.400 MPH I made a one way pass over 87.
There were no mod 50 parts the rules then was to modify stock parts.
Good luck, Larry Davis
Hey mate, the kilo run was back in november, unfortuneately i didnt get enough time to run/tune the motor, so i missed out on running. however have since fixed it..
i have ran it for about 6 race meetings now, i havent really played with it props, jetting etc needs leaning off a little.
the motor is very strong and pulls really well! it does 75mph around a course, i dont have anyone catching me so havent had to "make" it work..
thats a massive speed to be doing!! would you share gear ratio's props used etc? what sort of rpm?
i have a simalar motor to what u speak of, 49ci single throat front and fingerported that pushes the boat to 75mph aswell.
driving these little monos is the BEST fun!!
thanks for posting!

That record should be a stock 75 with 15" and a Nitro lower
can shave the cyl head and rejet
and thats it I think?
haaa 850,,,, was wondering if youve tried a 12" prop??? and increase your pitch,,,, se tunnel andthe other race boats over here i know run a 12*25 or so!!! check with ron hill,,, he deff would know,,,, more ime sure ....just a thought...
Yes it was a 75 nitro gear case with stock gear ratio. The only props I had was 23's so I borrowed a couple of 25"s I don't remember the diameter, it was turning around 7300 the best I remember.
The rules then was you could do what you wanted with the stock parts.
"ported with cut head" and run on gas
powerabout: the rules have changed over the years from what i can gather, and have now locked and loaded those records in place.
the 1250cc open hull was set with an FT motor.
several different people have told me the 1250 mono record was set with an FT
its an interesting one.
formeone: i run 12x23 long tubed cleaver, 2-1 ratio.. when a kilo comes around again ill play with 2.4-1 (stock) ratio and also my 1.87-1 nitro. see what combination works best.
jake: that is fair going!! what ratio was that one? i like the critchfields nice looking hull!

update: just did 78MPH:cool:
starting to come on nicely. still a few jetting issues to sort out needs to be leaner.
