    My design/build "Q" Hydro.

    I designed this boat to stay on the water at full "Q" speed. Kiting is a problem in our area because of the sometimes windy conditions. Notice the down slope of the sponson. The blue chine boards take the place of internal stringers that are in most boats today. This provides for a more spacious interior and allows for some non-trip in the stern of the boat. The sponsons non-trip are quite large to give support in the turns. The boat is 40" long (max length) and comes in at 10 pounds R-T-R. It is powered with three two-cell packs. This provides for a more gently-sloping front end. The boat was painted by my brother John.

          March 19/20 is Houston and I'll be there. We'll have ours April 30/May 1. And if you guys come we'll offer! We have a few more tunnels and may have p-limited riggers too.

                        Np, we normally run the electric only classes on Saturday. Sunday our district has open classes and we run gas/nitro/electric together, size appropriate.
