    Jersey Speed Skiff

    32" Aeromarine Jersey Skiff ; scale looks, but drive exits rear instead of full-scale underhull straight shaft - done to keep somewhat driveable.

    This was the very second wet; now trimmed WAY better. Will race with spec power - AQ 1800 KV motor seems about right.

    Nice one Tony.
    We run a small Crackerbox series at our club (similar to the Skiff ) & have always wanted to build a bigger one for fun. I might just move it up the 'To Do' list after seeing that video.
    Crackerbox or Skiff? That's now the question.
    Cheers.
    Paul.
    See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

          Just found out today that there could as many as four entries in JS at WWVIII. Eight days and counting. JS is one of SEVEN classes I'll be entered in. Butterflies are circling and ready to inhabit my stomach as we speak
