SSSSOOOLLLDDD -
I have also this cool lil kitty, you might have seen the "cute" video, here is another vid she skoots. its an H2O Cat designed by Terry Davis, former NAMBA FE Director, in 2002.
I started with 20" bare hull, added fiberglass reinforcement and a custom hatch. I added a few styrene spray rails which really helped in the turns to not pull water up along the sides of the hull and get her nose up a tad. She makes a wet turn, but a lot better now.
Made me up a motor mount (epoxy coated ply and aluminum) that was narrow so you could get the batteries in but could still accommodate the motor cooler. A .130 flex cable runs an .435 prop and has a 1/8" thrust bearing behind the coupler. Feigao 380 3000ish KV motor and Turnigy 35 amp water cooled ESC can push this guy into the upper 30s with included batts (run in parallel) and upper 20s on 2S. Handles the straights amazingly well, and the turns, well if you don't push the radius, not too bad. I made a custom CF servo mount that I fiberglassed in. Traxxas high torque, high speed water proof mini servo is still removable.
Just add your receiver and you are off.
Take $20 off - great little package for first boat or a sexy addition to the small sized fleet.
whole package: was $215 shipped - now $195cont us (international pays difference),
minus packs: was $180 shipped - now $160.
a few more pics are in my 4sale album here.
