Yes, that is nice.
But the complete thing would not fit into the car that way. (Next to the two SUP’s and three surfboards). I have a small 2 wheel sup/kayak wagon thing. It’s ok, but not great.
Current idea for next interation is to put the batteries into a backpack to carry.
But in general I do not use the boogie as much as I would like because the setup is too much work. I need to streamline that somehow.
How do you put C clip on? Do you undo moto each time after ride?
Yes - I would have to if i want to be sure of not losing a fixed blade prop on my tow boogie. It would be a pain but im going to try it to see if the performance gains warrant it otherwise I’ll stick with folding props which are doing the job just fine at the minute.
Having the brake on when there is no throttle would make the risk of losing fixed props higher so I won’t have that enabled either.
Have a look at the trolley that we do for inspiration- my boogie lives on it makes the process really easy. Can do almost no lifting if you have a good launch spot.
I modified it for my e-bike as well, works great but need to upgrade to proper bearings, have already worn though a set of aluminum axles.
I use your trolley for my boogie so much easier to get it down beach launch now.
I don’t suppose you can do a reverse prop for your boogie motors?
Not in carbon/ nylon as they are molded, but possibly in Aluminum, but would be a one off and they are pretty expensive, and even more so for 2. It’s a lot of cost close to rocks on a dual motor Boogie!
I’m seriously thinking about changing to the sealed motors for durability. I don’t want any more issues with bearings and these motors are copping a flogging in the conditions. I might take you up with those props
I think I won most boss battles by now.
Finished the ventilation quest.
Boogie is also balanced with full power.
Latest struggle is the boogie flipping at times.
Never had that happen before. Guess with lower power output, it just does not happen.
Any solution beside building a better hull?
Currently considering to add some weight to the bottom of the boogie.
Also I still have problems going straight sometimes. I feel as soon as I reduce the pull on the handle, the balance gets worse.
Any hints?
Longer tow rope fixed that for me.
I shortened the rope to get ventilation under control, but the short rope had too much sideway pull in turns.
Now lengthened again and worked great.
what lenght of tow rope are you using? also what lengh are your motor pods ? im about to shorten mine as they cause to much jumping and planeing on the motors
Just checked rope, its now about 8,5m.
For motor pod, you are talking about depth? That 19cm for me + motor.
@rttn was it yourself that shared your trim tabs with me via my YouTube channel? If so, thanks so much. I’ve now got a boogie that is rock solid in surf and relatively bumpy conditions. My set up needs the motors only 11” from the rear and on 2 degree shims to tilt the motors down followed by these rim shims at 1cm high.
Yes, that was me. Glad it worked out for you.
Interesting.
I printed some and added to the board today.
Now it goes straight easily, but turns far far harder.
Not sure what I prefer. Probably trying smaller ones next.
How far apart are your motors? That played quite a big part in turning angle for me. I printed my base plate at different angles until I had the motors at a distance apart that worked well.
About 18cm.
But it turned fine before and the flaps also added too much drag for my setup.
Was a good test considering it took only a few minutes to set up.
I will try again with smaller ones and closer to the center line.
Hello friends,
Good news, another brand registered for inflatable hulls : Lodestar NSA 130 mini Showmodel ( Ref 85.118.130)
But where can you actually get them. I can’t find a purchase link.
From a 2012 Brochure with weblinks which are now broken. I’d love to buy one, especially for 335 euros.
Hey guys,
Is there a consensus on whether we use fins or not? I see the photos and people seem to either have no fins at all, one fin or two fins.
Others have half the noodle under the nose.
I have a twin motor setup and considering two fins to add to the trim tabs to keep the board from yawing. And where would you usually install a fin/fins? Thanks in advance 
P. S. Also, hijacking my own reply, I remember seeing a discussion about the motor phase connectors to the box. What’s the latest and greatest?
