so far the only change i made is that i am not goin with dual props. i am runing a single.... still finishing the decks, floors , lighting, all fixtures are goin to be handmade as i am unable to find any hardware for this boat. still need to get engine, elecs and others for this as well. it is a 3 blade prop, i have an extra prop and shaft if anything fails hull is envirotexed. works wonders as i have done this with my nitrovee .

I have not built or refurbed this one but have always liked it. If I ever get my hands on one, I'll definately be putting some high-powered fire tenders and perhaps a pair of tiny LED lightbars on it. I think there's a website out there somewhere dedicated to this vessel?

well here i am again... so far i have the decks made the hull is sealed with envirotex.... i did this also with my nitro vee stuff works awesome....now i am trying to locate the parts for this boat? deck fittings and such... also i have to figure out how the deck lids are attached to the boat? should i use square stock on the inside of the deck holds? or should i attach to the lids themselves? i still have yet to find the right engine for this boat... i want to go with a 21 but so far i cannot afford this engine. so used is in the future for this project... i will be making windows out of clear pop bottle plastic.... maybe tinted i still do not know however. may use green pop bottle.... anyone have any ideas? pls post them as i am goin nuts here
thank you all for looking......

Mount some solid square stock around the openings and dog the hatch down on those.
That should give you a good stong connection.

" xtal number 72.270 " Is for AIR USE only.

My Feedback: (4)

i am nowhere near any aircrafts . and i cannot afford to buy another ground radio so i am using my leftover tx. unless i trade someone my 4 channel air tx for a ground tx then thats all i have to use.

My Feedback: (4)

here i sit once again.... i have decided that i am goin to either trade this boat with engine and plans along with running lights and other tidbits that i have for it. i am looking to get a walkera 50/60 in trade.... if no trade then i am looking to get 75.00 for hull , plus shipping. 30.00 for engine ,running lights...buyer pays for shipping....if i do a trade then i pay for shipping of the boat.... anyways this boat is alot more then i can handle price wise atm.... hence the reason trade or sell.....

I know this is a long time ago but can you tell me more about the IC motor mount you pictured in the thread for the fire boat

Hydro Junkie

That mount is/was made by Octura. It's an Omni series, not sure if they make them anymore but, that said, I did find one on Ebay. This one is for a .40 to .60 size engine, if that will work:
