I wonder about impeller for torque roll? does anyone know if the physics meaningfully change when using an jet?
For rough conditions another track to study is to carry weight.
Takuma etow was 75kg, at first I thought it was a bit silly for transportation.
BUT for sure the weight is your best friend to sail in wind chop for those who never have clean conditions.
Long time ago I was planning to design an epoxy hull with areas inside to add seawater or sandbags just before launching the device.

Our Boogie does handle a bit better with dual batteries in rough water (+15kg), seems more planted and less jumpy. The down sides are that energy consumption increases, and it doesnāt self right as easily.

Hey guys, I am attracted to the single motor pivot set up - does anyone know where I can buy a motor that pivots? Flipsky? surely this would be cheaper than building a dual motor setup?

way way cool design ideas guysā¦ my own build stalled soo many times with the torque roll problem till i went to twin counter rotating inline motorsā¦
whike the twin inkine design worked really well - ive een back at it messing around with singles tomincrease range / reduce power consumptionā¦

been thinking the same thingā¦
im back working on single motor set uos againā¦
ive put the motor right backnon the hull the prop itself is just 160mm from the tail.
im shortening the motor pod next - and angling the motor down 5 degrees -
the jets from what i can learn need to be sitting right at the water surfaceā¦ thats going to create spray
(and probably be noisy)ā¦ But im keen to test itā¦ i asked Flioski for a motor to test and oublish results but they were t interested ā¦ with that lack of confidence ive dropped it
Hello boogie riders,
I use FD clone prop since a while and I have to say that there are perfect except the fact that a foldable blade retracts when turning the boogie with steering toggle and doesnāt deploy perfectly.
Is someone motivated to create a prop file with fixed FD designed blades for 63mm outrunners and inrunners ?
This thin blades are very good for thrust, consumption and avoiding ventilation on choppy waters.
FD finally released a kind of @Strongarm mini pod so donāt be guilty 
Blades scan in PM if interested

I made it a long time ago, but havenāt tested it.
I started to doubt whether this was a good idea and whether it wouldnāt be easier to make removable inserts that hold the blades in place.
Anyone using FD props on a dual motor differential steering setup? given they arenāt mirrored, how do you avoid torque issues?
Itās probably better to have individual blades and sandwich them between a two piece hub so that they cannot close?
I used a 3D print slicer software to mirror before sending it off for 3D aluminium printing. 3 original, 3 mirrored.
