.44 mod on 250cc euro?

[JHull11L]

Anyone ever thrown a .44 mod on a 250/350cc euro? Just wondering if it's possible or not worth trying.

I think it would work great! Nice wide bottom for that heavy engine

Whats your weight? and weight of a 44? With a 44" the weight minimum is 470lbs for 750ccmh. Most of the current Euro's are averaging 100lbs..give or take a few. So if your under 200lbs you may have to add A lot of lead. I do plan on trying this myself in the next 2 years (if I can find the time)

Run it as an 850, don't need any weight.

It could work well. Consult with a PRO driver racing such a boat regarding set-up. Depth of prop and kick-out can be very different from a US styled hydro.

I did it in 2012-14 and took a while to figure it out.. Last race I had it finally dialed in but then put the stuff away for good.. Send me a private message and I will give you what I learned.. I will say I used a 125 version

Talk to Bud Gann, Aero Marine Design, 863-808-2043, Florida..... He advertises on this site.

It is worth a shot, I think. I'm thinking the same thing for our E-Mod, 850, 3 Cylinder OMC. However, this 3 Cylinder OMC is way heavier than a 250 or 350 motor.

Good Luck.

Deano! When did you get a 3-holer?

hydroman6,

About 2 months ago. We have been working in it since then. I also bought the Mike Ross power head and props.

J. Michael Kelly is driving it. We ran it last weekend at our first Region 10 race in Castle Rock, WA. It is fast, but we had some minor issues that we are ironing out.

Who are you???

Thanks For Asking,

Deano............................................. ...................................
