Believe it of not I did it on a Seebold and it worked fine. I didn’t think it would work so well until I drove it. It’s a little slower but it handled ok.

I have a 16 foot burgess I was planning on drag racing a little bit and was wondering if a 12 in. xr6 case would work. Seems like it would launch better, but was unsure about the effect of a larger prop paddling away when they really air out. I know the speedmaster is the best for top end ultimately, with out a question. Let us know how it goes there TB17, I'm all ears.

The XR-6 is what I used on my F1.

:eek: I'll stick with bob's. I figure for a little draggin', a little nitrous for the holeshot and the just let it ride out the 1/4 from half track. Bigger case would seem to live longer. And use a #6 for terrorizing the lake.

Only one problem with it. It kept blowing over, but that didn't bother me too much. Just kidding. Let me know if you need props for the #6.
