cheers mike for the photo in nice to put faces to names, hope you get him down will do him good.nice to have met you on here,are these lazer 45 hulls as good as some say,do you run one......alan[sm=shades_smile.gif]

MrMikeG

Yes I run one with a M&D 260 in it, it handles great and almost always finishes right side up. They are hard to GPS because in smooth water they are slower than rough water but I would guess it runs 55-58 mph. Super strong hulls too.

alan007bandit

hi mike thanks for photos great looking boat what do you think it will run like with a sikk27 .. for sports/fun use only not racing.............alan

mhayes462

Looks exactly the same as my friends, just a different color. Full mod Zen 260 by M&D, same rudder, same blue stinger drive, and same trim tabs.

alan007bandit

cheers mhayes, how does you friends lazer run has he had any problems with it,ie prop walking or screwing out to the right............alan

mhayes462

I already posted about it on the first page of this same thread. But it is an awesome boat. It does about 55-60 and will turn on a dime at full throttle with no worries. It handles really well in all water even rough. Very nice boat, Im jealous of it. lol

alan007bandit

oh yes sorry not with it today, i am going to have one then mind made up,.......i have not yet heard a bad word about them,...........[sm=thumbs_up.gif]

mhayes462

Good choice. Good luck.

With the small compact Sikk it should be a great runner. But don't go with the large flywheel Sikk/RC conversion, they would be too top heavy. You will need to change the mount on the flywheel side too as the stock mount sits up too high. All hardware is just as the build sheet recommends.
I love mine, they are rare over here.

alan007bandit

hi mike i am not sure what you mean regarding sikk large fly wheel version link here to the sikk i want to use... http://www.oneillbrothers.com/rcboat..._sikkmotor.htm .....alan[sm=50_50.gif]

MrMikeG

Yes that is the small flywheel one. Notice how deep the mount is though? You need one that drops the pull start lower. The square corners of the mount hold it too high off the bottom of the V.

My Feedback: (1)

I haven't seen Dom on here in a while as he's probably been busy helping ot get that other gas boat forum site up and going again. I've seen his boat run and he drives it like he stole it! The handling is impressive to say the least.

alan007bandit

hi ron thanks for the info on how the lazer runs i will be having one.......alan[sm=teeth_smile.gif]

alan007bandit

cheers mike i have just found out tate the 25.5 is more powerful than the 27 is that true.............alan

martno1fan

if old slow and in the way told you that id beleive it he seems to know his stuff as regards engines.

alan007bandit

hi mart i can see why cy/sikk made an engine bigger and slower it dont make sence why waste money doing that.the mind boggles i just might give my zen to dave to mod...........alan[sm=72_72.gif]

martno1fan

i may be wrong but bigger and slower as regards rpm doesnt have to mean slower it might be designed for a diff size boat? as in bigger for larger props i dunno but surely if its 27 cc it could be modded to be faster than the 25 cc ones?.what mods do you have in mind for the zen? there are some straight forward ones to do if you know engines which i dont but a mate does.like porting and such.not sure what dave charges to mod a zen but you might be as well selling yours and buying a modded one?.or maybe hed do a trade in deal for a zen 7 .

pete_486

hi mart i think you give him your motor and he will take it to zen 7 spec for £150.
im thinking about it cause mines barely run in yet........Pete

alan007bandit

pete is right he advertises mod your own engine for 150 i dont now to what spec,but i can do the piston lightening and some porting myself if you read this dave do you take then to you zen 7 spec for the 150........alan
