28" WOF Tunnel build.

[nate]

Here's my Girlfriends boat, she's been bitchin about having a boat to run with me. Here it is.

Im just going to run a Feigao 9xl, hydra 120, and an x442 on 5s.

Iv got to order the bullet drive...

Nice looking hull, that's cool you have someone who's into the same toys.
I hope to build the wife a boat someday if I can ever afford it!

Well Iv got alot to teach her first, as this would be a very exspensive boat to let her run, Ill probably start her off on my SV27. Then move up to a faster boat. She just wants to be apart of somthing I love doing.

But yes Im very lucky to have a girl that loves RC boats, some chicks could care less lol haha

Dude, I hate to tell you, but your girlfriend has on a wedding band. What's up with that?

Role play?

Good looking tunnel!

Meniscus, you're supposed to be looking at the boat!

Is that a Jerry Dunlap 28" WOF? Looks like a nice hull. Should do very well, and will be very fast. If you have a UL-1 Motor/ ESC, that will be all that hull will ever need. My VS1 with UL-1 motor, and turnigy 120a ESC does 46mph on radar..GPS might prove its faster. Good luck! Mike

Also, Once you get that built, and running, you will want that boat more than any of those Vee hull boats. I have more fun with my VS1 than any other boat I have..and have spent less on it. You dont load the ESC's with the tunnel hulls near as bad, so everything just runs cooler.

It got moved from the main board, to the building board.

That's awfully nice of you to build a boat for somebody like this. And awfully nice of her to be into rc boats. My gf still laughs at me for playing with "RC toys". [boats, cars, planes, heli's etc]

Also, meniscus> You wouldn't think that somebody who has money to spend on a boat of this nature wouldn't put a stone on an engagement ring?

You are one lucky dude! My wife has always hated any hobby I got into. Having your love and best friend involved with you is a dream that many of us will never enjoy. Sounds like she's a keeper!

Watch the tunnel. They are tricky to set up or they'll fly on ya!

Herb Stewart, my best bud, now holds about 7 IMPBA records for E-tunnel!

Thanks guys for the nice comments, appreciated

Yea I know for as long as Iv been with Brittany she wanted to have an RC boat of her own..

She dosn't really care for the building part as much as she does just enjoy going to the lake and watching.

She just asked If the tunnel could be her's when its done.. so I said yea, but before Id let her run this boat she needs a Wal-mart special haha JK.

So all in all, yea Im pretty lucky.


and Sailr, well this is my first Tunnel hull so ill need alot of help...

and alot of reading up on the forums..

Ill keep yall guys posted!!
