Hello Guys,
after the requests in the HPR 135 - German madness thread I decided to present Christians new build also here on OSE and translate the review.
I hope you enjoy the build, I think its very very well done and deserves respect even if its not a FE boat.
As there might be question: This boat is owned and re-built by Christian Fischer. But we work very close together and I also helped searching and purchasing parts as well as doing design work and CAD crafts....
HPR 185 - TwinTurbine project
Originally the boat was build by Chris Tonn. Beside the paint job he also did the big changes concerning the canopy of the boat. Now it features 3 independent hatches, the side hatches are scaled down from the real Mystic C5000R for the turbines. Then the boat was sold to a guy in the Netherlands.
Christian saw the boat at the annual powerboat meeting in Heilbronn and fell in love with it. As it was for sale a bit later he decided to buy it and in the middle of september last year Christian and I drove to pick it up. Both ways together were about 1530km to drive and it took us the whole day but it was worth the effort.
Basically the boat was RTR except the receiver and the two turbines were at JetCat to be checked and serviced.
Here a picture of Christian and his new beauty after returning home:
dismounting and cleaning
As some of you might already know some of his other boats he invests tons of work in little details and nice hardware of the boat. They call him "Sir File-a-lot" because of the excellent work he did with files and CF-sheets in his HPR 115 with the "2-Face" paint job. So the boat was already built but it was quite clear that he would rebuild many parts.
First of all he dismounted all the parts to clean and polish the bare hull.
one of the first little detail was to put some self-adhesive velvet round the canopy borders
