RE: My next RC gas boat project
This was my first cat... I bought from BH hanson RTR with the radio for $1400. then, I bought the 43 inch cat kit from www.aeromarinerc.com still cost me $445 for the hull and harware $350 for the engine and tune pipe and $200 for a radio system with 1/4 scale servo for steering, then i sold um both on ebay because they dont handle good in rough water DEEP VEES are the only way to go!

RE: My next RC gas boat project
Giant scale is great! It doesnt matter if it is a boat, car or plane. Too bad it cost so much to have all the cool toys. Well at least thats the only downside of it! My wife thought I was nuts when I built the first plane, Now I have a few of them.
Then I showed her the pictures of the truck and boat, of course I got the WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GET THE LITTLE ONE LIKE OTHER NORMAL PEOPLE.
I just laugh and tell her because I am not normal. LOL

RE: My next RC gas boat project
Boats are great too.I had some nitroboats that i played around with, but the nitro stuff is just trouble so i thougt boats was just not for me.
Untill i got my 46" gas Cat.That was a whole new game.
I'm waiting for a new boat actually.A 47" stepped mono with a Homlite in it.When i got the Catamaran, i decided to hang it on the wall in the livingroom for display, that was about the time my girlfriend set the diagnosis for me.....MENTALY UNSTABLE
Anyway, she doesnt know that i have the new bigger boat on the way plus an MT-5.
Jess...im gonna have to book a hotelroom
