Diegoboy... here's the ProFisherman Center Console

[RCprince]

I finally figured out how to get these pics off of my cousins highly expensive sony without having to auction of a leg to replace it. I built it after I got bored without 2 pro fisherman....It's kinda rough...typical after coming back from a 10 year RC hiatus...let me know what you think.:closedeyes:

[RCprince]

Here are some more Pics.

[RCprince]

and a little more:glare:

[RCprince]

Finally the last 2, that last pics...the drainage on the right is where I crashed my BlackJack Brushless after a radio glitch.

Looks great. I cant wait to show my son these tonight. He is a avid fisherman at 9 years old and I cant break his grip that he keeps on his ProFisherman!

[RCprince]

lol...cool, my pleasure sharing them

[Diegoboy]

Thanks! I might try to mod the hull I have. (Bare hull only) I was thinkin' about trying to fabricate this (http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ose-ws-mod-hatch) to fit it...

[SJFE]

Mr Prince that is an excellent representation of a center console fishing boat. I LOVE it. Look very scale man. Nicley nicley done :).

[RCprince]

Thank you SJFE I really appreciate that.

[Quicksilver]

that's awesome! If the profisherman came as a center console instead of a bass boat, I'd buy one in a second.

The only way that could be cooler, is a bigger boat with twins. :). I do believe I have another boat in my fleet that could fit those criteria.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Just showed my son Steve the pictures. He now wants to build one! lol

[Eodman]

mr prince what prop are you using on that EP1 Who makes it?????

[Avanti]

Too cool man, the only way it would be better, would be to paint that motor black and add a Merc sticker :D

[RCprince]

lol...nah dude because i'm 4everude lol

[Avanti]

Sweet dude..I'm jealous

[Avanti]

[RCprince]

Yea these terrorist oil barrens have gotten us

[aquinosteven]

i wanted to build a boat like that but have twin 800s and base it off a company called concept boats. nice build though looks great

[mike a.]

RCprince you have done a really good job on that boat, i dont even recognize that it once was a profisherman.

Cool boat but i really like that Lightning. is it stock?

[Avanti]

sure it's stock :D just you basic 500hp tow rig.
It is my work truck right now, kind of makes me sick to abuse it like I have been, but I have no choice.
The boat runs 75+
the Lightning runs low 12 quarter miles at 100+

rcprince the boat look great! love all the scale touches.
is it just me or does the boat look like its low in the water in the back?

thats why smaller single engineboats are cheaper and faster

Heres why it site low in the stern. If u have seen the original Pro fisherman u notice the same thing. The reason the Outboard has a lot of weight thus lifting the bow and lowering the stern. This is true even with a real full scale bass boat.

[fshunt4lf]

RCprince do u know of any manufactures that build fishing boats?

[RCprince]

Thanks Ocean Racer...Yea it did sit low..I had a Feigao 9l in it...should have tried the S series....

[Avanti]

Dumas makes a kit of a 65 donzi sport fish

I have not seen any center console kits

I believe you will need to follow RCprinces lead and mod your own.

[RCprince]

No FsHunt..I just get Bored an convert my own stuff, I also made an outboard SV and Convert my Blackjack..made it longer and change the canopy and added larger steps...I'm looking for a MRP fountain..Actually 2 To make a Foutain center console with 2 outboards and a Real Rio Rose with steps and ride Pad.

[frostyan]

My boat does a whopping 33 mph on a flat day .
2945 lol

[Diegoboy]

Back on topic...

I just cut the top off mine, I installed a stuffing tube so far. I just have no idea what to do with the top deck. Mr. Prince, any Ideas or tips?

[RCprince]

Whats on your mind, what direction you would like to take it in

[Diegoboy]

I really don't care what it looks like. I want it to be quick but not fast. Probably just a bit faster than stock. I'd put the EP1 back on it, but I never had it. I got the boat as a bare hull.
The intent is for the kids to run it instead of my expensive toys. I hate telling them "no" so I want something that I can say "yes" when they ask if they can play with it.

[Avanti]

pick up a fishing rag to get some ideas
are you going center console fish boat
or go fast boat?

[Diegoboy]

Okay. I'll look around for some ideas. Thank you.
