    Here's a close up of the woodstuff hull (which is also the 2nd place boat in Randy's vid-- we both crashed in the same corner...). The mods were to make the waterproof box for the lipos/esc/rx/servo (nice job, but not done by me...). Cyberxt's PS295 is like this only better...

        Currently running a VS-1, keep eyeing the ps295 kit though. Hearing nothing but good about them by the guys who are racing regularly. Maybe next winters project.
        If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

            hey larry, heres the tunnel im refurbishing. put some carbon in the compartment. not much so far but ill get around to it lol. i thought about the inboard thing but, kinda makes no room for batteries unles i extend the compartment back to the transom. ill stick with the outboard, they work well.

              If it doesn't work out as a boat,you can always put a neck and strings on it. You did some beautiful guitar work.

                i think there 2 ways to look at this, 1 you can really embarrass them with your electric tunnel or 2 just have the edge over not to make them look to bad, decide this first then people will chime in on a set up that fits your needs or goal

                    Don't want to show them up too bad,just want to have the edge over them. I'm thinking the BBY would be a good starting point,I could build another next Winter Larry

                      The ABS boat will do that, The Fiberglass hull for $100.00 more will last you several years. Your choice, Oh and I will help you all I can to run fast and have fun.
