Dumas 28 Swamp Buggy ... my first boat
Here's a pic of the first boat I built ... three years ago ... a Dumas 28 Swamp Buggy .. powered by an OS 25 LA ... this thing got me started in this hobby (and lots of money spent thereafter) ... lots of fun ... runs more reliably than my hydro ... but not nearly as fast! Tried lots of props till finally I modified one and it ran way faster ... then I got into hydros ... and learned what fast on the water is all about ...

RE: Dumas 28 Swamp Buggy ... my first boat
hey cpiad, nice boat. 2 questions: 1st, what size prop are you using? 2nd, would you know the weight of the boat without the radio gear and engine? i built the lil swamp buggy e-powered and thinking about building the big swamp buggy to be e-powered also, but need to estimate the cost of elec. needed first. again, really nice boat.
