Yep the DareDevil is one good looking boat 👍. For what it’s worth after numerous attempts to get the hop out of my BJ24V1 it came down to getting the prop closer to the transom and raising the strut to where the bottom of the strut barrel is even with the sponson bottoms. I don’t know about the old 29” but when the BJ24 boat hull pivots at the end of the ride pads it pushes the prop down into the water and that propels the boat up and out of the water. I think the ideas is to get the prop to push the boat parallel with the water in such a way that the entire ride pad is barely touching the water while riding on a cushion of air between the sponsons (in the straights then settle down in the turns for traction). I think thats all pretty elementary but raising the strut and keeping it almost parallel is what finally got me there. I might mention I also used a prop with less lift. The BJ series of boats were molded after boats that use twin surface drives. 👍
I have a miss Geico twin having a hard time, keeping it from hopping. Redid the bottom did not help. Keep dropping the struts. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
No nose weight or tail weight. You need to understand the way a boat works. What's happening is called porpoising like a dolphin. You need trim tabs in the back on each side of the prop. Boats Trim tabs help boats perform better in challenging conditions like waves, strong winds, or currents. They can also help with: Weight distribution: Trim tabs can help correct for uneven weight distribution, which can make a boat harder to handle. Fuel efficiency: Trim tabs can help improve fuel efficiency by reducing drag and optimizing the boat's running attitude. Speed: Trim tabs can help a boat plane faster and reach higher speeds. Maneuverability: Trim tabs can help improve a boat's maneuverability, making it easier to control.
so happy you made this video. I wanted to mention something in your last video about your RC's but decided not to. Thanks for the video :)
Love the BJ29!
one of the most underrated hulls!
Looks like ole girl may be a candidate for some trim tabs. Some cats need em
More forward cg and adjust strut to compensate. 👌 Beautiful boat my dude😘

I have the same boat and am getting the same hop. I was going to start experimenting to try to figure it out.

Too much leaves and such at my spot couldn't keep it from the mess so season over in michigan 😢
You need to move the weight forward that's what causes the porpoising warrior strut needs to go down
