but that wasen t an option to the question

I said I might go with a different type of vent. The ones I came up with do not seem to be real popular. I do value peoples opinions on here. I know it can be tough to make everybody happy. I have seen some boats with slots and bigger openings with screen that look good to me. Thanks...

I prefered picture 4,also why not cut the large intakes open at the back too this will create suction which will help remove hot air .Doesnt have to be as ive drawn it but you get the idea lol.

Awesome build looks like you not holding back on this one . It should haul with that setup . Nice scale look too !
I like that hull it looks fast just sitting there !
I know you been asked already but did you pick a paint scheme ?

I just started a new build, I need a week or two and I will post pic's and details of the build. Old school looking build !

Thanks Steve. I have not picked a paint scheme yet. I would like to try to paint it myself but I will have to get some tips before I try it. I may have this boat on the water sooner than I was thinking. I just got done ordering most of the parts I will need to finish the boat except the radio stuff, throttle linkage and some other small things. I look forward to seeing your build.


Mart...Thats a great idea with the air scoops. I will keep it in mind.

Hi Del the Europeans have been doing that mod for years and it works great,as the boat moves suctiuon is created and all the hot air is sucked straight out.Probably means you wont need as many outlets to let air out .

I got some exhaust from gizmo and some exhaust flange outlets from gas rc products. The end of the pipe and the exhaust outlet are the same size. Does anyone know where I can get teflon tube or whatever people use to couple the pipe and the exhaust outlet? Thanks

Try this place I got some from them easy to deal with. I got the Ultra blue tuned pipe coupler part #1037 1/2" ID works great !

Hey Del

any updates !

Hey guys,
It's been awhile. I took a break from the boat build but have hit it hard the last month or so. I am hoping to have her ready to run in a couple weeks. I still need to install fuel tanks, cut the window out, install fuel fillers, and paint. I will most likely wait until after I run it before I paint. Here is a link to my linkage setup. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MBP1OHTDXY

Nice build thread. I'm just curious if this boat done and has hit the waters? Would love to see some more pics and videos of it in action.
