    Default Go NAVY - Refinished CF Brian Buass Hydro

    Here's a 25" Carbon Fiber Brian Buaas Hydro I picked up from my good friend Bill.
    Cowl is a trimmed Turbine Cowl from Phil at Vac-U-Boats.
    Loved the original tuxedo look, but wanted something a little more….GO NAVY!
    Painted with Krylon rattle can, decals from LHS, finished with flat clear.
    Love this boat…..Nice Work Brian!

    That was #1 out of the mold. It's always been a fast boat.

    I mean no disrespect or offence, I really like the looks of both the boat and the paint job, but my curiosity makes me ask, Cap'n Swanny do you race? If so would this be race legal where you are? In Naviga race boats have to be brightly coloured over at least 1/3rd of there area for visibility to others, I wonder if you have a similar thing over there or if visibility is much less of an issue as even if a boat flips on the first lap you only have to negotiate it 5 times and it is likely not to drift far, whereas we may have to negotiate it 30+ times, and over a 6 minute race it could drift from one side of the course to the other.

    I just run sport, but I know what you mean...this boat disappears when it flips!

    Very nice and scale looking on the water,
    Maybe paint the bottom red so you can see it when it fly's.
    ? ONLY IF THEY WORK
