Dumas DV-20 (1976)

[Northwoods]

I built this boat why back in 1976 when I was in grade school my very 1st RC model it was not until 1980 that I made my 1st airplane. The boat has gone from running a Enya .19 with a cool clamp to a K&B 3.5 inboard. I had a lot of fun with it changing the color many times but put it on the shelf for display 10-15 years ago. Now I Blame... bogieboy ...for building his Dumas DV-60 that I took my DV-20 off the shelf and to Rebuild it and get it back on the water

It's dusty and duty now but can be fixed ,,, what should I do ,, keep it a nitro inboard ,,, make it Electric ,,, or a Outboard ??

[srislash]

Man if you ran it nitro before keep it. Love the smell of them. Tuff to run(which is why I’m a FE guy) but got their own niche.

I like the sounds of that... i was thinking a similar color for mine, or possibly ($$$) a blue carbon overlay for the top and regular carbon for the bottom and sides....LOL

[Northwoods]

I think these decals will look good on Metallic Blue Paint
