Runne FEH 850cc Hydro gets a make over

[mike ross]

Here is the FEH ready to go to the lake. Had to paint over the New Burn leopard birch wood that was so ugly. Tater Tec headquarters put a super nice paint job on it. I think we are done painting for the year finally. 8 boats later the boss is burned out and getting a little grouchy. Can't wait to get it to the lake. Owe ya were's my team Runne shirt? The factory must be experencing economic hardships. I hope the beer fund hasn't been cut out of this years budget. See Ya Soon!!!! Mikey

"Runne FEH 850cc Hydro...."

Is this the John Runne hull with the 40" bottom that he ran a 2cyl on in FEH

[17W]

Nice Tower.....

Where is your flex flywheel?

[mike ross]

Yes it is the old 40 inch bottom that had the 45 on it. It needed more juice to get it up and going . Brent bring the flex flywheel to Augusta and help me put it on. How about the team captain is he out there or is he still trying to figure out if them ASH airtraps are legal? Thats such a goofy rule who made that one up. They must have been drinking to much of that starbucks coffee when they made it at the National meeting. John get Real Runner to make us up some real cool Runne Race Team shirts. I will pay for mine so you can keep saving them nickels out behind the shop. Mikey

It needed more juice to get it up and going

It had more than enough juice at the Sharptown race. It lapped all the C's and was closing in on the stragglers the second time when it took the checkered flag. My calculations put that well into the 90's

Here is a clip of the boat being driven by the late Brandt Hilsen, Millville 2004

After the motor had been altered again and did not run as fast as it did at Sharptown. There is video of it at Sharptown, too ... compare how it is stuck in the water at Millville vs the way it flew at Sharptown. That really bummed me out.

Well somebody's got to get second, may as well be a green boat. Or at least kinda green after the guy poured in too much yellow

Burned up Power Packs like they were Candy

Had Ignition problem at Millville and would only plane with small prop
7-3/8 x 14 four blader , Brandt was very happy with punch but not enough on top end. Thats why he is on the inside, not bad for first FEH Ride!

At Sharptown tried extremely long velocity stacks to tune to first pulse.
Only turned the 7-3/4 x 14 high rake 7,800 or 92mph lost 400 rpm

With fresh power pack, bellmouths on carbs and the Dewald 7-3/4 x 14 high rake we saw 8,200 rpm or 96mph along with out of the turn punch.

Maybe make another one for 2012..............................
