Here is video of the owner test driving it after completion. No warp speed runs since he is still getting used to it.

Looks great - (obviously a little less rudder travel will prevent the spinouts) Nice Job ! [at the end of the video you can hear chuckling - Exactly what Jersey Skiffs do for you - Pure Fun ]

Thanks, programable radio is on his x-mas list. He and his family are very happy with the model..

Very cool thread. Nice work. Alway was a fan of the Jersey Skiffs. I think I see an Aero Skiff in my future. Gotta get my Aero gas 50" Apache converted to elec. first though. I have no idea what I'm doing with elec. but will do my homework to figure it out.

I will say the skiff was a bunch of fun to drive and build. Just start a thread if unsure of electric setups, this forum is a great resource.

Have another update, the owner received the boat from the decal maker.
