This should be interesting, it's certainly a lot cleaner from a hydrodynamic point of view. The cowl should be clear of the water when sat...
Today's session didn't prove anything startling, but it goes well enough at half throttle. I am printing a huge spacer for next time so the jet...
Lifeboat rib Spent today on Nicks outboards. I printed my own propellers having not been able to find any the right size. They can be removed from...
E1 hydrofoil From this picture taken from yesterday's video you can see how the splash guard is doing a good job, glad I didn't get rid of it. 2nd...

Excellent Dim, good design. Look forward to video of the F1.

E1 Seabird Thanks Michiel, I have ordered some 50mm long screws from China, so I can add a 20mm long spacer, between the pick up and the chamber....
this project has been made possible by already having developed my own outboards. The pickup is held on with 4 x2mm cap head screws, if I could...

E1 Seabird A few hours today drawing a new streamlined pickup, it has an adjustable foil on the front, just 2 screws to alter the angle. [ATTACH]...
