    Another Retrieval/Rescue Boat

    So I was rummaging through my parts box and came across an REK Outboard that's been doing nothing for a very long time. A quick trip to Target for a cutting board and Home Depot for a waterproof electrical box and poof, one retrieval boat.

    Red and green for port and starboard, standard navigational coding.

    600kv 36mm Outrunner turning an Octura 1245 tug prop on 2S.

    Comes apart easily for transport with just four wing nuts.


    I'll try it out for the first time at our next club meet.

            Much nicer than mine although it's very similar. I'll give you a tip. Make sure you use a plastic prop. Way far out when you can't see well, you may run right over the top or tips of the boat and a metal prop.....we'll need I say more? I know this from experience. The graupner carbon props are great for this.
