Just bought a Dragon 24v ghb and need advise
Hi guy's i just bought a Dragon 24v with 26cc engine and although thrilled with performance/ looks and handleing, I am a little concerned about the absence of flotation foam in the hull. Is there a formula for how much? do you guy's use the spray in stuff. Any advise greatly appreciated. Also wheres the best place to get props etc.?Mines a 3.25 which is about 82MM. prop, but i dont know pitch. What would be a good replacement prop for a 52" ultra streamlined deep vee hull? Thanks

dont use great stuff spray foam those are open cell foam and will hold the water and make your boat a 30lb rock, i would get a pool noodle and cut it to fit up in the bow you should be able to get most of it up there also try to get some in the rear of the boat also to avoid the boat from (sharkfining) wene it fills, this should only cost a few bucks to do, one pool noodle keeps all my boats about a inch of the deck above water no matter how much gets in

Thanks man great advise I've ran electrics for years Hammer/ villian etc. but they all came with foam already in them. One things for sure i'm hooked on gassers. Hey BTW what are you doing up so early i thought i was the only person up and moving this early. I work at a Steel Mill and were preparing to go into outage mode today so tthings are quiet for the time being, but that will change soon. Later dude
