Recently procured what appears to be an old Dumas Miller America, ~43-44”, that I would estimate is like 98% built, but never run. Looks like it’s missing maybe a driver head panel and the metal supports that string between the vertical tail(s) and the stern of the boat. Up front, I had an RC boat 30 years ago...and that’s it. I built planes at the same time, and have had cars off and on since then. I’m looking for some advice on completion, as well as converting it to a brushless drive. I won’t race it, just finishing it to entertain my children. It doesn’t look like it’s been lightened at all; may try to lose some wood here and there. I’m pretty sure I have a modern Futaba radio that I can use with it. Any help or guidance is much appreciated; pictures to follow. Bottom sponson has a few very small paint chips that I’ll also need to repaint. It has ZERO hardware. I purchased it at a garage sale; it was likely built decades ago and then has sat...and is in near perfect condition. I need advice for a motor, mount, ESC, and literally everything associated with the drive shaft, rudder, etc. I’ve scoured the internet, and found a few threads, but am still looking for advice. I appreciate the time!
