Holy jumpin' jiminy, that Dumas esc is the same one my Dad put in a Dumas Tuna Clipper back in the '70's! $55? Really? I like the Turnigy unit much better. Cheaper too. A pair of those with brushed motors and batteries will get this boat in the water economically. The crew figures are history and a good wet sanding is in the future. I'll do some research and paint it back as a scale paint scheme and make it a 109. I'm looking forward to some cruising with this boat later in the season. Thanks for all the information and I'll post photos as the project continues.
