plans for her

twin 2.5hp brushless. twin struts
twin rudders
2 hydra 240's
40 cells
and a bad ass paint job

[SJFE]

Yup it's BIG LOL. What paint is going on it?

[skidooguymxz550]

Looks good on the granite counter!

thanks!!!! btw the dude in the background is my dad. he pays for and drives sometimes.

my mom loves it but she's wondering were we are going to keep the beast


thanks for selling it to us steve. this build should turn some heads when she launches off our swim platform at the beach

time for a little update, i have the drives, motormounts and props
-speedmaster struts
-63mm carbon props (counter rotators of course)
-ose motor mounts

now the question is what rudder(s)? I was thinking this one mounted
on center--

4" set back

any comments on it? i want to be able to have equal turning in both directions

[txboatpilot]

Looks great!!! Aeromarine makes some tough hulls!! What motors will you use? I am about to build a Aeromarine Conquest Cat 43".... Should make some great winter projects!!

[skidooguymxz550]

thats a good looking boat also. i plan on using either kb45xl's or the new "big boy" motors steven's advertising.

[treystoys]

That hull has always been one of my favorites. My first experience was back when I was running zenoah gas boats, a guy had one done up with a quickdraw...just plain nice! Lets see some shots when the hardware is on

[skidooguymxz550]

the drives are finally on. I went with them spaced pretty close due to my planned props are already huge so i figure i won't be going bigger and i want to keep the drives in the water when turning.




for perspective, i put my dads 31" challenger in the shot to show just how big this thing really is.

now the question is rudder(s)

i am trying to decide between one ruddur on center with about a 6" setback or two rudders with 6" setbacks, one behind each prop

[Avanti]

from what I've read with the r/c boat you don't want the rudder behind the prop
keep it to the side of the prop
one big one in the center should be good
keep the pics coming, it's looking good

Suggestion for paint:
Apache Bandit, Warpaint, and Team Apache.

All three the same exact boat just different paint during it's life.
Real boat is currently listed for sale at www.teamwarpaint.com.

A couple more
Litlle Caesars and INXS

INXS is always my favorite... Their fountain hull looked the best in this paint scheme though.

i like the warpaint
