Default New toy

It's not a car, so I figured I would post it in the off topic section. Me and a friend were looking around through an abandoned house and found this in the attic. It didn't have a radio, but did have a receiver and servos installed. I found an old Futaba AM transmitter, threw in some fresh batteries, some matching crystals, and she came to life. The motor was gummed up, so I just dripped some nitro down in through the carb and spun it around until it loosened up. After changing the glow plug and fuel lines, she fired right up. I took it to the lake earlier today, this thing hauls. Kinda hard to control though, and very noisy. The engine is a K&B Sportster 45.

Edit: oops, forgot the pictures

Nah, I dont need help with it. I already found out the model and everything. Just thought I would share my discovery. Besides, the boat forums are just about as boring as it gets.
