hey guys, i built a gasoline version of the Dumas Crackerbox. I went for a slightly patriotic theme, now i know this isnt exacly a scale boat but you guys may know, i want to put an american flag off the back. not a large one but just to get the point across. Here are my two options, i have a hunk of aluminum, and will carve it down into one of two ideas, the first is to have the pole come strait up through the hatch and make a bend to go out to the back of the boat, the second idea, is to have the pole come out the right side of the transom, with an angled mount. I plan to bea able to thread the pole into the mount i design. Which idea is better? am i clear on my plans, thanks.

Whichever option you choose, make sure you keep it away from all moving parts (prop, clutch) and from any heat source, otherwise you could be swimming for your boat. [>:]

Depending on the size, a flag off the bow would be sharp, or one off the transom in the middle, like the old Chris Crafts....

thanks, i thought about having it off the back, but the radio box is i the way. on the bow, i think it may rip the wood off the bow haha. The boat does about 45mph, so i think i may have it go right up through the side on an angle.

Here's what Tony at WHH had to say,

"Steve,
How big of a flag? If it's small to scale not a problem off to the side, that's where it would be put in real life. I would say you could maybe go as big as; 3" X 5".
Thanks,
Tony C."
I was looking at a 4" by 6" but may have to go smaller, what do you guys think?
