Hi

Im trying to design my own deep V and would like it to look like a Enforcer Super G as from the pics i have seen it looks very cool.

Questions:

1, Where should the maximum depth of the hull be located at the back or can it bee near the front, I have an expresscraft sport 5 and its depth and width are greatest at the back, but it appears that the enforcer has the gratset depth about 1/3 from the front, is this right what differance does it make?

2, Does anyone have an Enforcer Super G that they would be able to give me some measurements off?


I have attached a pic of my design so far,

Thanks,

lzvagias

looks cool! idon't have any measurements to give from an enforcer but i will say that from the bow veiw the dead-rise looks a little shallow, unless this is the way u intended it. when you start building it take pics for us.

What dimensions do you want, I have a G and can try to get what you need. Or more pictures if that would help.

nzcivic

if you could get the dimensions of the cross section would be good i have attached a pic of what im after, you will also need to include the distance from either the back or the front from to where the cross section was taken.

the dimensions i have gotten so far from the net are as follows:

Length 46"
Beam 14.5"
Dead Rise 24deg

Thanks

I can get those for you, but I am out of town until this coming Friday, maybe someone else can get them sooner.

nzcivic

It appears as if no one else can help out so if you could when you have time that would be great.

Thanks.

nzcivic - I too decided to build my own hull taking some design characteristics from the Super G. As soon as I figure out this downloading pictures thing. I'll send 'em. How are you going to make the hull? Wood? Fiberglass?

Mine is a glass over foam hull with the foam removed everywhere except the front end for floatation. I also decided to make the V a little flatter for a little more speed, but it will still go through pretty good chop without hesitation. My hull runs pretty good with a 25cc Homelite. What are you going to power it with?

Why not just buy a super g hull?? Barnstormerboats.com has them cheep.

nzcivic

I was going to make it out of 2mm plywood.

ejp67 are the boats from barnstormerboats knock offs?

(Why not just buy a Super G?)

The pride of building from scratch. But seriously - I was brand new to boating in the RC world and thought if I built it myself it would be cheaper. Not really. If I would have known what I know now - I probably would have bought the Barnstormer G - It's a good buy. Anyway the boat is done now and has seen a few hours on the lake - and it's good feeling when someone says "WOW, where did you get that thing?" I can say I built it with my own design with fiberglass.

Yes, the Barnstormers are clones of the G. But, I hear they are built very well. I'd buy one. There's nothing wrong with a knockoff that's done right.

lzvagias

wow that was a quick build! i'm guessing you had a lot of time to devote to it? show us the results dont keep us in suspense for too long.

nzcivic

Davcruz, are you still able to get me the cross sections?

Davcruz

My Feedback: (1)

Yeah, I have just been super busy. I will try to do it tomorrow for you, sorry.

Davcruz

Here are the measurements, sorry it took me so long.

Davcruz

My Feedback: (1)

The width of the hull is 13.5", add about .250 for the deck on each side

The keel to the top of the deck at the transom is 6"

The hull from the keel to the side is 6.5"

For the life of me I cannot remember how to read this compass, but I think the angle is either 55 deg or 125deg

Here are some more general pics that my be useful:

Let me know if you need any other pictures of the inside or anything, I am happy to help.

nzcivic

Thanks for that it will help a lot.

If you could also please get me the hull angle (eg the V between the two bottom halfs) from the back of the boat and also from the middle. and if you could also include the same angle you have already given me from the middle.

Oh and yes you read the compus right at 55 deg.

Thanks.

DAVCRUZ- thats the best looking enfcr i've seen! nice job!

Davcruz

My Feedback: (1)

Yes, I can do that for you. Anything else you need?

Davcruz

I wish I could take credit, but I bought it with the paint job. I added the hatch and cleaned eveything up and made it shiney though. Thanks!

PS I actually plan to paint it over the winter, trying to pick a scheme out now.

nzcivic

Well if i could get a a pic of the bow stright on would be good.

oh and for the measurement if you just wright them down will be fine should be easyer than taking photos.

Thanks

nzcivic

Sorry ive changed my mind these are the measurements im after now

i want to know the the deepth of the boat at the deepest point and the distance from the bow at which this occours, also if you could give me the width, V angle, corner angle (same as already given for back) and side deepth.

so basicly the cross section at the deepest point of the hull.

and measurements will be fine you dont need to go to the hassle of taking photos.

Thanks in advance.

i believe actually its 125 degrees because 55 would be an acute angle and the boat would probably drive right under the water.

nzcivic

yes you are right i dont know why i said 55 deg

Hi all

I to would like to design a enforcer look alike boat, nzcivic could you please post the measurement you already have?

DAVCRUZ when will you be posting the extra measurements requested by nzcivic?
