NOTE: Blueprinting a boat is the last resort for more speed or better performance, the process is long and hard, please keep this in mind if you're contemplating Blueprinting a boat. You can ruin or improve any certain boats handling and decrease the resale value once the bottom has been modified
As a new cat owner this video is extremely helpful! Thanks Big B!! 👍
Great to hear!Good luck! BG4L
Pro boat and other manufacturers should hire you to design boats for them. Amazing attention to details !!
Thanks for the compliment, but I haven't run the boat yet 😅 hopefully I got the bottom right
Man, you have some patience. Very good video
Would you advise to tweak the boat out with props electronics CG tabs hardware etc first and as the very last speed mod,blue print the bottom?Great video by the way. Thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciate all the work you put in on your videos. Not an easy task. Learning heaps. 👍👍
Yes, absolutely. Blueprinting is sometimes a last resort to get any particular model running right. Some guys Blueprint before the boat hits the water.
Hey thanks for the video on how to blue print ur boat been waiting to watch this video for a while,,, quick question for you Big B it's winter time up here in Wisconsin but was thinking on reinforcing my hull n tips on my pro boat veles n battery trays would you have any tips for like reinforcing how much did you use how little do I use can I inlay kevlarve strips in epoxy them in if u could,,, thanks ur a big helper for me to understanding rc boating happy holidays from Wisconsin,,,,,
I'm gonna be reinforcing my ul19 with carbonfiber after Christmas, hopefully before the new year.
I have a veles 29 sponson reinforcement video in my veles 29 playlist
I'm going to attempt it on my Geico 29. Just want to check something with you. I see you have about the rear third of the ride pads making contact. Is that correct
Yea basically, the less surface in contact with the water the faster the boat will go. You can go less than 1/3
you are awesome!!!
tie as big must be twice as big....
As for trim tabs: it's always fun to add goodies to tinker with no ?
Ya guy
Nice job, Big B! That's a lot of tedious work. Just a note, when sanding fiberglass or especially carbon fiber, wear a mask. Those little fibers ain't good on the lungs.
Good tip!
Best boat vid ever. By far. I don't agree: to me it is the first step you do to your hull. All further mods rely on the blue printing. Otherwise you'll be fighting the boat forever. (and twin motor / prop set up of course)
And I would like to see this hull tie as big.......
I agree 100% I had my veles 29 blueprinted within the first 2 weeks of owning the boat lol. The ride surface is the mostly important part of a boat build
👍👍👍
Biggby what size are the mounting screws for those rocket 3300 KV motor
Common 3mm
Ever use pc 11. Going to try it on a hull I think. It's a marine epoxy similar to marine tex
Just looked it up yea that should work just fine. If it's like marine-tex it should be perfect & half the cost
the biggest problem i have with the one i upgraded is i put to big of a rudder on mine , blocking some of the thrust from the thrust cone, i run mine on 3s- 4s with a 32mm prop, but the rudder is holding it back some. its runs fast enough that it will do a perfect kick flip and keep going
That's why I blueprinted this boat, my boat would do the same thing with a big prop.. exactly what yours does "kickflips at speed lol. I'm working on a motor mount right now I cut everything out the inside of mine gonna run the batteries in the sponsons c'mon.
@@IRONCLADRC i feel ya man, they do ride low in general even when up on plane. ive never had much luck with saw run high speeds on tunnel hulls or catamarans. they always seem to go airborne. i even tried a rear turn fin. similar to the tenshock or mini dom. mine seems to stick better on left hand turns, withe the batteries down in the left sponson. i might go a little bigger with like a 60a or maybe even a 80s. i have a few of those G2 sharks laying around, as i usually just use those 40s on these size boats. i think its kinda hard to beat a stepped or simple v hull as its just less prone to lift up . frozen till spring now for most of us unfortunately.
What grit sp do you use B
80 for the initial sanding then I go to 220 or 500 for the final sanding
HI B . THIS REMINDS ME OF THE PREP WORK I USE TO DO ON THE SHOW CARS WE DID. PUTTY BLOCK, TRAYSER COAT, PUTTY BLOCK. PRIME TRAYSER COAT BLOCK , PRIME. BUT IT"S ALL WORTH IT.
Great video Big B!! Much respect getting the digital level numbers that close. That’s not easy to do!! You gonna do that to UL-19? Stay after it!
all I can say is... wel done good job on that sponsens BigB it's purrrfect & and I can't wait to see it rip on the waturrr😎🖤
Thanks for the info Big B, I Knew blue printing was a long process but I didn't know dead rise of the ride pad was for cornering. Makes sense now why your cats drift the corners. Thanks!
I can without any question appreciate the work, I have done body work in the past so, I know how time-consuming it can be. Not sure the benefit outweighs all that work.
Then Dont do it.
Don't take it wrong, I was not putting down all your hard work. I'm thinking about a E51, any thoughts?
Great looking boat,but I think it's under powered esc wise,
Great Job. I wouldn't even entertain that project. It would turn out good lol. Interesting to see it run
Thanks B! Some more tutorials are always helpful!!
Ooo I love this video, no mater how log it is. Nice work BigB.
Nice Video,and getting the MG36 ready for a blueprint and new look👍❤️Happy Holiday’s,Big B👍
Does the mg 36 need it? Is the hull twisted ?
I guessing this is a good thing to use if one was racing for cash or in a professional setting. I have 4 new M41's I don't think I will be doing this, lol. I have not see a big difference in the floating or driving adjustments or improvements in the handling of any boat that got this work done. I have seen this done several times on youtube and other platforms.
If it's done right you'll see an improvement, Trust me. Im not telling guys to break out the epoxy and sand paper and just go to town on there boats cause I'm definitely not.. this is a last resort type modification.. the geico 17 is or should I say was a toy TOY boat that got 5 mph top speed out the box.
@@IRONCLADRC Are you going to show a before and after result?
That's a good idea I'll try to find some old footage of the mg17 in action
having the m4 i think it sits up and higher when on plane than these little geicos.
Curious to see if she'll stay in the water at speeds exceeding 50 mph. Monos definitely have more water contact than cats, but that's what makes them so stable. Sometimes being ultra efficient works against you. Can't wait to see if you can dethrone the mini mono's 50 mph top speed. More so, I'd like to see a comparison between the Oximarine Mini Dom and Aquacraft Mini Mono. I think you'd be surprised to find that your optimized Mini Mono is actually much more stable thus easier to drive fast. I used to race these small boats at a local collage Olympic pool and I was able to beat guys with Tenshock Mini Scords (same as the Mini Dom) time and time again with your Mini Mono. Nothing against the Mini Dom; I have a Tenshock Mini Mono and absolutely love the thing. Boatgang!
I've gotta fix a Crack in the mini mono, she's all busted up at the moment, I actually have 2 aquacraft mini monos, the one you gave me has a thicker hull than the one I purchased. The one I got is stripped down all the holes are filled she's basically ready for the mold making process, just gotta find the time we'll motivation to Start the fiberglass lay up..
Personally I think the mg17 will hit 50 plus, may not do it on the first outing but she'll do it I've got faith in that little boat now. Fingers crossed 🤞
Hi from France !
I have a big question : I see you blue-print catamarans but does it make any sense to blue-print monohulls ?
If not what can I do on my hulls to improve speed on a monohull ?
Thanks for your fantastic videos !
Any boat can be blueprinted but only if it needs it most boats don't need to be blueprinted but if your hull has dips and hooks in the bottom it may be worth the trouble. I've never blueprinted a mono only a catamarans and hydroplanes.
I helped my father blueprint a 1:1 Alison race boat (mono) when I was a teenager we didn't add fiberglass or anything like that we just Sanded the bottom flatter basically knocked down the high spots in the hull
blue printing the hulls is about the only modification i have not attempted on any of my boats. i do use air dirupters on hydroplanes example, ul1 or small bolt style hulls to keep them from going airborne as easy. im curious to see the difference on that little geico when its in the water. im going to try a 60a- 80a esc on mine in the spring
What’s an air disrupter?

Sounds like a good winter job for my blackjack 24. Thanks for showing us how to do it
You bet! It's alot of work but rewarding if you get everything right. Good luck
Did you do this on your blackjack 24?
