MY NEW HURRICANE MONO
i've always been a sport boater. i got this mono 2nd hand just the other day. boat has like 2 runs on it. its came with speed master hardwear and a modded sikk and and CC steel pipe. the motor was modded by Butch T. which hes is rebuilding for me as we speak. the boat was built by Barry at Rc Gas Parts plus. and the previous owner it gpsed at 60mph in rough water/4inch stuff. from what i've read on the boat it one of the top mono hulls for heat racing. tell me what you thing.

I'm going to run a mod 2716 20 or 7016 on my rebuild 45" mono, hopefully can get it running around mid 60's in the calm water. BTW, your mono looks very nice.

RE: MY NEW HURRICANE MONO
the boat came with a 6717/3 with a 430mod supposed to be the best all around heat race prop.. yea Butch T is a good modder of the sikk. this is the first sikk i've ever owned. i would have liked it be a Zen though. but i got the boat for a good price. and thats what motor the boat came with.

got the modded motor back from Butch T today. went to tighten the 90 water fitting and snapped it clean off. so i didn't get to test and tune but she fired up on the 2nd pull. i'am hopping she'll do 60 mph..

Looks nice, I hope it runs really good for you. I don't like that cut stringer though, mono's need those stringers for stiffness!

RE: MY NEW HURRICANE MONO
didn't you post on another site that you needed another fitting?you should give Sean O'Neil a call,last time i snapped off the fitting on top of the head on one of my sikk motors,he was ably to get me one in 3 days in my hand,called on Monday morning had the part Thursday.
those fitting are real easy to snap off.i have done it a couple of times,now i know not to over tighten them.i also think that the nitro guys used the 90 degree fitting on the tuned pipes to clear the cowling on the hydro's.that might be a good alternative.
you are going to love that sikk motor once you re/break it in.that boat of your should fly.good luck ,nice boat,great motor.wow did you do all the polishing of the hardware?if so thats some real bling,bling.lookin good...
