    First off let me say your boat runs well!

    But as to the #s posted in Aguasta, GA they NEVER HAPPENED
    the numbers ran the folowing race in Tx are more along the lines of the abilities of the people that run that boat, for them to go into that area in hot humid conditions and run just under .3 quicker then they ever have NO WAY.

    I am not saying your design is not capable of going that quick I am saying that that team at that time didnt do it. Those are #s that would have been possably surpassed at Red Bluff this year when the corrected altitude reached below 100'

    IT IS AN OFFICIAL IHBA RECORD @ 4.58, and a SDBA record @ 4.81 and that's fact!

    Dan,

    I know that they are official records I dont dispute that and the SDBA Recoord I honestly believe to be true. but there is no way the 4.58 happened in GA. the conditions there are worst than Texas. Add to that the hot Savanna River and no bite.

    Sir,

    I do know a bit more about all this than you may think, Mr Ellison, I am sure you have spoken to, Not only Mr McClellan, But also Mr Way and I know for a fact that they also have said the #s are not actual ! Dont mistake what I am saying here you have a good boat design.

    That is exactly what I am saying, to they average a 4.80s to a high .70 and to suddenly gain .2 in that climate. I doubt it, the conditions arnt there. And we will have this argument until they are able to duplicate it.

    Quote,

    It is not about that and nothing we could prove will change the out come.These pictures you have posted just confirm it all the more.Look at the last photo you can see Im out of the throttle and where is the white boat.You take my rt advantge and do the math the white boat should be long past me.I also dont think IHBA or anyone is trying to pull a fast one what would be there gain but I do beleive there was a malfunction with the timing nothing computes to 4.58 or does anything show that other than the timing board.That boat and that team are capable of those numbers but anyone looking at the facts will see there is somthing not right.

    When setting my world record, we did a run to settle the boat and engine - and we used a prop that would not redline. It is a known fact that the prop is 5mph slower than the record run prop.

    We came back, changed prop and did the record run.

    The timings were 1.6mph apart, which is simply not possible. We can not match the speed anywhere near with the first prop, which was designed to warm up the engine without hitting our rev limiter.

    Sometimes electronics dont work as intended.

    Which is a worrying thing.

    Mark grim and Carlos from cc racing engines used an ellison based rc boat to set the g-1 rc record @ 104mph with a one way of 106.5mph. The full sized hull has only been in development since 05 and has proven to be the safest quickest and fastest, period.

    Worlds Quickest & Fastest Top Fuel Hydro

    Mr. Ellision needs to up date his information, one of his hulls is on the books for the 4.58 et. the 270 mph was never offical because of a malfunction with the clocks. Im Jim Dunn designer and builder of the Bullet Outrigger Hydro hulls, which now holds the low Et of 4.52 @ 264. mph, but the offical mph is 260 mph. Problem Child is the boat that holds the record owned by Eddie Knox, at the San Diego race just before the finals the boat went 265. mph. At a race in Texas the boat ran a 3.88 250 mph...on the offical books show the Problem Child Bullet Outrigger Hydro at 258.64 260.98 263.62 264.82 AND 265.52 with the 4.52 run at Chandler and 4.566 in San Diego.
    Mr Ellision's 4.58 has been stepped on By John Hass 4.576 Problem Child 4.566 Dwanye Patton 4.551 John Hass 4.535 and Problem Child driver by Daryl Ehrlich's 4.524 again..TALKS CHEAP SHOW ME THE NUMBERS..
    :cool:

    The 3.88 250 mph Texas run was a thousand foot race, just keeping the facts in line, on Problem Childs 264.82 run the boat went from sitting still to 224. mph in 660 ft in 2.72 seconds...SHOW ME THE NUMBERS..

    Jim, what does you hull weigh unrigged without capsule and how do you do your layups, hand, infusion?
