So my second R/C boat was the MRP Miss Budweiser in about 1991 and it met it's maker the first time I ran it, for some reason lost radio control and it went full speed into a rock seawall.
So this one I got from Ebay awhile back and it is in decent condition and I am upgrading it to brushless. It is getting a 1800KV outrunner motor from a Volantex Vector Ebay boat, new rudder (the one on it is not original), 2.4G radio system, I am going to use an airplane 40A 4S ESC, and run it on two 2S 3000MAh Lipo's in series for 4S. The weight savings from the small single motor and smaller batteries should make a very fun runner and be able to get on plane much better (I know original set up these were a PITA to get on plane without throwing them in the water). Here is the start of the build.
