Does anyone make an
 
Does anyone make an electric version of the miss budweiser or lumar. I know proboat offers them in nitro and gas. It does not have to be exactly the budweiser, or a boat very similar?

in my opinion i think that you should by the 1/12scale boat and take the nitro engine out and sell it and then with that money and a littler extra get a brushless and put it in I'm sure it cant be that hard

Here is one, although I have seen these for much cheaper than listed here.

I suggest not to get one of those boats that Nocturnal provided a link to. I have read in a thread that they are very heavy. They even posted some video's and you can tell they are heavy by the way they handle. I agree with Eyekandy's suggestion. Only if you have the money don't sell the nitro engine, give it to me ;):):D[&:]

It does not have to be a proboat. Any hydro with a similar style would be cool. I think MRC use to make on, but that was like 10 years ago. Not looking for racing just a cheaper boat to play around with.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks Nocturnal! I appreciate the effort.

It kinda looks more like a toy. I don't know if I have the heart to buy the nitro boat and replace it with an electric motor. I just don't feel like messing with nitro in a boat, but if I had one I would probably leave it that way. I would be happy to find a cheaper ABS plastic hull maybe a kit? Does anyone make a kit?

I don't endorse the boat. But he asked if one was available.

Yep, looks like a toy. I wouldn't pay more than $40.00 for it..

Nocturnal-I did ask, and thank you. I am just looking for more of a hobby level than a toy.

No prob. If I come across one I will post info.

Just found this one. What do you think? Do you think any parts will still be available if needed?

Wow, I like that boat. It has that very classic look. Man, you know how to find the deals don't you?

It doesnt look like a toy, it is one!
I have one on the workbench and have gutted it completely, the hull with the planned 700 motor, 12-14 cells and RC-gear weighs just over three kilo's!
That's very heavy for a boat this size.

Before gutting it, I did a testrun with the two 380 motors; it wouldn't even get on the plane...

The boat looks good, but that's the only pro.

Regards, Jan.
