RE: 1/3 scale hydroplane Miss budweiser
Well it defendantlly gets the COOL factor award!
bit a hydroplane like this is generally a three point design, riding on the sponsons and the prop! so I would be a little bit skeptical on how well it will perform with the intake great needing to be in contact with the water. the prop as the ride surface is actually acting as a paddle wheel, because it's a surface piercing prop and walking across the water, so to speak.
But hey if you could take some pic's of the bottom & rear end I would reely like to see those.
With you being a jet-ski guy it may have ended up in the right hands, does it have flotation?
just take the correct safety measures ; cause this is a great liability & could turn into a couple hindered pound torpedo. a 41" RC boat at 50 mph will pierce the side of a glass runabout & go right through a aluminum boat
