Hi enjoyed reading your questions and answer, since Mr hydro junkie, seem to know alot about these types of boats... i have a question. I'm building a dumas Miss unlimited. must be one of there last ones, cause it is on there clearance section. Ok so i have build a dumas 1930 three section runabout. took a long time.. retired now so things happen a lot quicker.. I'm going to use it just in the local ponds,, there not to big. sna i know brush motors. and have nicad batteries so i';m sticking with them... wondering what size motor to put in it. do not want to race it.. just to go fast enough, up on plane. and a little speed...
would a 700 or 800 size motor work..????? and they come in a slow RPM (6000) and a faster RPM.. (12000) at 10-20 volts
I'm going to rum them at the 7.4 volts
does that sound right a fast 800 size motor..?? or is that to much;????
and should i fiberglass the front of the boat... the sponson look not to strong... I'm not to good with fiberglass..
thank you and keep up the writing, it helps novices on how to do things.i have learn a lot by reading these blogs... or what every you call them..
