Frequently Asked Questions

DUPLICATOR

What is the Prop Duplicator?

The prop duplicator in the simplest terms, is a mold off of my best prop. This mold will allow anyone to duplicate my best prop for their own boat. They can make as many duplicates of my prop as they wish.

What type Prop do you use for the Prop Duplicator?

My prop, which was molded was usually a 14 series Octura Prop. You should use the SAME SIZE prop from which the Prop Duplicator was made. The sizes used currently are 1450 for the 21 Hydro or Sport 40, 1455 and 1457 for the 45 Hydro or 60 Mono, 1662 or 1467 for the 67 Hydro, 1470 for the 80/90 Hydro and X447 for the 45 Outboard. You can use the exact equivalent for ABC Props.

How Well do Props off The Duplicator Work?

The prop off The Duplicator is the BEST heat Racing Prop you can get - PERIOD !

ENGINE ANALYSIS PROGRAM

Can the Novice Boater Benefit From use of The Engine Analysis Program?

The program is VERY easy to use and the only tools required are those to take the engine apart and a set of calipers. It is nice to have the head clearance measuring gauge from Speedmaster (Makes measurement VERY easy).

Is it wise to try to do my own engine modification?

I would suggest that if you are a New Boater, that you get a seasoned engine builder to do your engine the first couple times so you don't waste your time trying to figure why you are not running well. Get a good start with someone else's experience.

Who are the Best Engine Builders?

I will only suggest those I KNOW will give you your money's worth. At the present time I can recommend WITHOUT RESERVATION the following three people: John Ackerman 317-241-4724, Andy Brown 904-208-1036, and a New Builder Tom Grannis 941-947-4119.

Why don't you put MWD's Phone Number on the Web?

Seems that I can't jam 27 hours work into 24 hours and some people like to call to tell me all they know. I like to talk model boats, but I can't get all the other stuff I want to do if I bench race on the phone. If you have real need to reach me you can at 317-894-1151. Please don't call just to bench race - thanks!

OTHER PRODUCTS MWD SELLS:

Why do you sell Roadrunner Boats?

This is the finest racing boat in the world! There is no other boat built that will race like the Roadrunner. I contribute to the R & D for new versions of the Roadrunner. Roadrunner currently has the fastest time around the 1/3 mile oval in the World. (18.819 seconds)

Aren't Roadrunners VERY EXPENSIVE?

They are very expensive, but they also are very complete and of the highest quality construction. I guess that the saying you get what you pay for - applies here very well!

Why do you have JFA Custom Engines Page on your Page?

I have worked with John Ackerman, owner of JFA Custom for 20 + years and I believe that he delivers to the racing community the most value for the dollar of ANY engine builder. He also has the best tools and equipment including a Dynamometer, Mill, Lathe, Sunnen Home, Helical Laps, etc.
