Anybody have any experience with a hydro from Seaducer? Maybe is good to start with this typo of boats.

Very fast but not a boat that I'd recommend to a new boater.

Hello Carlos,
Like Ron stated above it is one of the best handling,and fast hydro on the market. That is providing you set it up correctly and with a lot of practice you will see what I'm saying is true, I'm only saying this because I raced one in Dist. 3 very successfully for about 2 years before selling it and I do miss it dearly.

Great boat ..... fast enough to win races .... handles well enough to handle most race water chop.

Does take a strong engine to propel it fast tho, sub ballistic engines will run boat well, but not great.

Ride attitude and smoothness very sensitive too prop choice and turn fin selection.

JMHO,
Scott

Carlos, I don't know where you're at with experience so it's hard to say. Hydro's, either scale or the outriggers are a big step as you'll find that they can be frustrating until they're dialed in.
If you like the old-school boats and can build from a kit, I'd recommend something more like one of the Zipp-kits hydro's. They're made for the stock engines so they don't need a ton of horsepower to run so the all-around price would be a lot less.
The Seaducer and Insane hydro's are great boats but also further up their in the price and experience range.

With looking at your posting history briefly, I'm just kind of worried that right now you're in the "I gotta get me one of those!" phases, something that we all go through but aren't ready for yet. If you feel that you're ready, go for it. It's just hard for us with all of the members in here to try to know what every person is ready for. Maybe you are. New challenges are what's keeping me going in this.

RON, I have a Miss Llumar from Proboat, but I want more speed and more stability, because I have a M&D Full Mod engine and this hull doesn't like the speed and power. Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!

After buy my new hydro, I would like your help again.

Yeah, I think that the M&D might do the job! You could drop that in anything and it would scoot.

Ron is right Carlos.. i talk & watch to the local racers for a year before i got one .and i got one that was already dialed in..and {Gardawoodman} built my moter just for that boat ..if you where to get one there is lots of guys in the RCU & the Miami racer's that can help you[sm=thumbup.gif]

The Seaducer is a fast and great running hydro. I raced one for 2 years. They do take some experience to get them set up well. Like Scott said, prop and turn fin are very important to get them running right.

WILDGAS

Which are the best prop and turn fin? I have a turn fin from topsecretboats.com like a the picture below but I don't know that It's good for a Seaducer hydro.

It's kind of simple in a way. Whatever Jerry Crowther recommends, use it as he has done a lot of testing on every boat that he sells so he knows what works and what doesn't. People that think that they know more than he does end up with poor performing boats the majority of the time.

Jerry put on mine a 6719 3 blade..he sell's all the hardware that go with his hulls stick with what Jerry tells you to put on the boat ..thing will go a lot smother with your new boat and you will be a lot happier from the site...HARDWARE: We recommend the Seaducer Hardware Kit, which consists
of Strut, Rubber shock absorbing Motor Mount, Rudder, & antenna mount &
Pipe Mount. IF YOU Don’t USE OUR HARDWARE THE BOAT WILL
NOT RUN WELL AND YOU WON’T BE HAPPY WITH THE BOAT.....and make sure you get this from Jerry the motor compartment is small...http://www.seaducerboats.com/hydro.pdf
