Oh what to do now

[JimClark]

Mulling in my mind what to do for my next project.

Could be this kit Miss Adventure

could be a Baby Bootlegger (maybe I can beat Andy in finishing his)

or it could be a 1/16th scale Miss Wahoo

I voted miss Wahoo because I'm not a big fan of monos, but if it wasn't for my prejudice against them I would have gone for the Baby Bootlegger, that thing looks meaner than a box full of rattlesnakes.

Wahoo.................

Or you can buy this already built and put you choice of power in it.:rockon2:

I vote the bootlegger. I see boats based in this style at the lake and you have to see the heads that turn. At the dock I was at last year there was a 40' three seater that I just had to look at each time I walked by it. There is just something pure about a wooden boat and a big block carbureted motor!

i vote mis wahoo

[JimClark]

guess i need to add a Mahogany crackerbox to the list but can't modify the poll

[Ub Hauled]

Jim, how many hydros do you have?! I think it's time for a different challenge, my vote is for the Baby... Bootlegger that is! beautiful hull, quite successful at her time...

done

[egneg]

I voted for the Bootlegger as well - very hard to beat for a scale boat.

[Hydromaniac]

Jim, Not sure what to vote 4 as its your time and money. But one thing you should think about before you decide, I have built 2 bootleggers, they are by far the toughest of all the boats I have built, But also the nicest when finished, Each took well over a year to complete. Bending all that mahogany is a real pain.

It depends on if you want to race or not. I love to race. I've raced something since I got my first set of clamp on skates and bicycle .
I heard a couple of the clubs in your area are going to race crackerboxes . Any of the others would look good on the mantle .
Personally , I get bored after I get a boat running pretty good . Then I want to race some one.

I love the 1/16 hydros. What I am/was really hoping is you have finished/will finish a 1/16 hydro with that small 26-28mm outrunner!

I am working on my 1/16 hydro and wondering what motor to put in it. I do not want a big amperage motor, going more scale like you had done. Small outrunner or the 2845 inrunner. :help:

Whatever you choose, it will be nice to see the pics of it being built.

Here is the motor that is going into my next 1/16th (haven't gotten the kit yet)
Scorpion HK2216-12 I am sure it wil be faster than the 1/16th bardahl was on a 2s pack

I did not know they did a Bootlegger in Bardahl colors.... :)

[JimClark]

Lets just say I have another 1/16th Miss K kit coming next week and i haven't played checkers in a long time.
My name is Jim Clark and I am a Bardahl A Holic:thumbup::banana::w00t:

[AndyKunz]

I voted for the Bootlegger, Jim.

[JimClark]

The thought of planking that is what swayed me away from the bootlegger.
