React to this type of boat

[hilyfe]

Nahhh ill just go brushed motor on this one with 6v 12ah
Im thinking of changing the riggers to a bigger pvc
More buoyancy

Was that a carved out bangka?
That looks cool

I also have a carved out bangka from balsa wood
But its to small to carry anything
It turns out good though

[Diegoboy]

Thanks. Yes. She's a 22" long balsa carved boat. That black wire around the mast is the FM antenna.

[hilyfe]

It would be great if I can find a 6x6 x30 inchess balsa
I want to carved it
The balsa I found are just to short for a bangka
Whered you get the balsa

[Diegoboy]

In Angeles city, Philippines during a visit in 2007

[hilyfe]

I didnt know they have balsa woods in Philippines
Or thats a different wood?

[Diegoboy]

It's Balsa alright. I must have been licky, but it was pricey as I remember.

[hilyfe]

I like balsa easy to work with

[Diegoboy]

Yes it is. It looks great so far
