SR71 EDF boat
I design and build all my boats from scratch. The boat is made from Baltic Burch plywood ,balsa ,and fiberglass I wanted to build something different with EDF's and this is what I am building .I have always liked the USAF SR71 so that is what Iwanted to build .It has twin 3400kva edf's with air rudders .

Wow thats too bad sorry too hear that, nice build regardless. Are you thinking of changing anything to make it perform better, oor is it just a lost cause? I am currently building a dual edf boat, more of a flat bottom design. check it out, its called dual edf junkyard boat, in the airboat section, let me know what you think.

RE: SR71 EDF boat
Sorry to hear that Ekim.
But I slapped a couple on an old boogie board rescue boat & it went OK . I added sponsons for the fast runs to make a kind of tunnel hull effect to reduce the water contact. You could give that a try.
Cheers.
