Hi fellow rc boat enthusiasts, this is my first post here, so I introduce myself shortly: my name is Dirk Jan, I'm from the Netherlands and I am building rc boats for many years now. I especially like to build wooden boats.

I read along for a while now and I think this forum is great. You can find a lot of knowledge and nice boats here.

Time for me to share my latest project with you. I designed my own F1 Tunnel hull, called Cozy F1 Tunnel. It's 23.6 inches long and it will get the following setup:

- Hobbyking/TFL outboard
- 3S 3Ah lipo Turnigy
- 60A Marine esc
- total weight: 3,3 lbs

The cowl I will make myself from glass fabric and epoxy, using a mold.

I designed the hull in Pro/Engineer CAD software:





I make all frames myself by using a hand saw, no laser kit here
