    Default Dumas DV-20 (1976)

    I built this boat why back in 1976 when I was in grade school my very 1st RC model it was not until 1980 that I made my 1st airplane. The boat has gone from running a Enya .19 with a cool clamp to a K&B 3.5 inboard. I had a lot of fun with it changing the color many times but put it on the shelf for display 10-15 years ago. Now I Blame... bogieboy ...for building his Dumas DV-60 that I took my DV-20 off the shelf and to Rebuild it and get it back on the water

    Man if you ran it nitro before keep it. Love the smell of them. Tuff to run(which is why I’m a FE guy) but got their own niche.

    I like the sounds of that... i was thinking a similar color for mine, or possibly ($$$) a blue carbon overlay for the top and regular carbon for the bottom and sides....LOL
