its a boat , its meant to get wet !

Lol, i agree but the plans were to race vintage r/c and bring the boat to the track because has a little pond too but the race got rained out
.....the vintage cars are my Cat XLS vs. my bothers Avante. Avante beat me last time

Its a big day today! Its running in pic....turnkey!

another botchet test!...The boat props just cavitate when i try to plane off....goes 1mph fine the just spins the props in the water and revs up (props arent slipping on the shaft). I have 30mm props on it so gonna try 35 or 40mm props. possibly underwater round ears instead of the straight edge 2 blades....got me buffaloed

Video of it running?

There were issues with the clutch pulley that years later could easily have been fixed by Dadio Designs....unfortunately the boat was abandoned in the basement of "Thumbs" mansion...yes its quite extravagant!...anyway the abandoned boat was returned recently and now I just ordered two 13×1 motors from Jeff Malar and will be running it on 12 cells, stay tuned!...(the nitro motor mounts and idler system are still intact, will probably go back to that eventually with a chain drive, and Dadios help!)
