1/10 scale classic hydro questions - Scale Scratch Build

[monojeff]

I am new to electric boats and I am thinking about building a 1/10 scale classic hydro.
I have the classic round nose plans and I am wondering how do I know which boats I can build from these plans and keep it scale? I know some boats have variations and can't find much info on the subject.

If someone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!

Thanks,
Jeff

What plans do you have?

[monojeff]

I have both the ed karelson 1/10th scale 1969 u-7 notre dame plans
also I have the 1/16th ted jones classic round nose.

I have also been trying to find a link to the master hull roster but could only find the 2007 version??

gary finlay plans?
Master roster at the link below
1/10th plans can make any plan #101 on newton marine

The 1/16th jones is more limited in the hulls you plan 105

If you want to make a 1/16th with a full cowl I have a bunch of Vacuum formed cowls for that boat and also an extra 1/16th scale Allison that I would be glad to make you a deal on.

The Notre dame 1/10 plans say G.Findlay I thought I saw gary somewhere.

Is there any other free plans available, these are the only ones I could find.
Thanks for the info on which boats I can build. I like the U-5 Lauterbach Special 1975 or U-54 Wildroot Charlie 1958....??

I am looking to build a 1/10 scale possibly to race in the 1/10 classic class.

[JimClark]

Not in free plans but you can get most boats plans from Newton Marine

[monojeff]

Thanks Jim,
On another note do you know if it would be possible to scale the plans up for a gas boat? Not sure how it would run or if anyone has done this??

[JimClark]

Never done gas boats

I am leaning towards scaling up the 1/16 plans and making a miss wahoo boat.
Would you recommend using 1/16 for the bulkheads if I do?

On the 1/10 plans it says in some parts 3/32balsa & 1/64" ply that is a little confusing.

In your opinion knowing this is my first build which would you recommend as my first scale race build??

I really appreciate your input and help!!

[JimClark]

No go here you can get the 1/10th jones plans
or I have gary's 1/12 th wahoo plans which would be better to scale up. Give me your email and I will send them to you
