    ML Boatworks FE Scale

    I picked this boat up from Mike Luszcz and put the set up in it last week.

    This boat will run with the 60s in the D13 Grand Prix series.

            That hull makes a nice looking scale boat. I bet this class will be fun to watch.

              disagree. I think if Doug comes in from lane 20 and runs in lanes 1-3, EVERYONE will have a HELL of a time trying to get around him. Mr Bellinger's scales are no slouch!

                Thanks guys.

                You're right about Rick Bellinger's scales Rodney. I have run both the Coors and the Dawg in our GP Series and the Spring Nationals. Rick takes good care of his equipment and knows how to set a boat up.
                That was the third time I had the boat in the water, I'll eventually come in from lane twenty. Probably the 23rd., the first race of the season. I'll have to get out in front of Rick and Capt. Perry Walter, his scales scoot as well.

                    Doug, boat runs great. Can you tell us about your setup? Motor, batteries, and prop.
                    Thank,
                    Leonard

                              Leonard, are any of your guys planning on purchasing one of my kits? If so, please get them together as a group, and I will be glad to do a group buy for the kits they need and ship them all in one shipment! Just let me know if this may be the case! Thanks, Mike, www.ml-boatworks.com
