I would love to see a sportfish/flybridge style boat kit. Give me a Viking 70C open bridge and I would be in love. Love how these boats ride in the ocean

Those are cool but run like the typical express/cabin cruisers do. I want a big honking sport fish cutting through the water. Like this...

Woah...........now thats a boat!! When you have a large, ocean RC fishing vessel and it has twin Hackers, it's got to be the bomb.

Read some earlier threads about some of you looking for something like a large scale RC sportsfishing boat. I was in the process of buying a Dumas Donzi when they announced that they were discontinued. Only solution was to begin the process of making up some molds to produce something similar. I've completed the hull mold for a 50" Viking 50C sportsfiherman and hope to finish up on the molds for superstructure and flybridge in the near future. anybody out there interested?

Im also looking for a sport fishing boat
I came across this Expresscraft 57" Flybridge
Has anyone ordered from them before?
Wanted to know if it comes with the towers and all

Looked into Expresscraft 57" Flybridge and found a page that said, "all rigging is hand fabricated and not included." A recent move has delayed my progress on my Viking 50C sportfish which will be 50", but my intentions were similar. That is, to provide the main fiberglass components along with extensive plans on how to complete assembly and how to make rigging like the tower.

Also, a very good site to check out for a look at truly realistic details is CAPTAINSMODELS.COM. You'd never know you were looking at model boats.

What size hull are you considering then? 1/10-1/12? It will be a welcome addition.

BoatMolder
09-18-2018, 09:06 PM
The scale is 1:12 and the hull will be 50".

I got this kit from Australia from a lovely and helpful guy. I fitted a tfl outboard which moved it along, but was forever needing a service so I got myself a 3d printer and a lathe, learnt new skills and developed my own outboard, much larger than TFL. It has 15ml of engine oil in the gearbox, the gears are 21mm diameter helical teeth. 2x 3s in series to a 4082 motor. 46mm 3 blade cnc propeller.
