Re: done.
I suspect you can have as many consoles made from that mold as you like. All I did was come up with the dimensions that I wanted and make a dummy console out of foamcore. Mike at Wildfire made the actual plug and the mold. He has the mold sitting there on the shelf and could certainly make you a console. Give him a ring sometime, number is listed above.
As to the engine, it is going in for its 20 hour thing this morning, after which I am good for 100 hours between services. WOT on it gets me right around 36 knots, or just into the low 40's mph (at 6000 rpm). When cruising at 4000rpm, I am burning 4.9gph and moving along at 23 knots (not sure how many mph that is). I started out with an aluminum 14x21 prop on it and it was sluggish as well as unable to get past 5000rpm. I switched on day 2 to a stainless 14x20 prop and it made a world of difference: finally able to get the engine to turn 6000rpm, much better hole shot, and a speed in line with what other SC20 users are getting with the same engine (41-43mph). I like not having to remember to add oil to the reservoir each morning [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
