Ok heres a few pics. They are late but I have had a few issues I ran into with the radio box so I built a new one. I must say I was very impressed by the hour and 5 minutes I put on its first run.


Also, I have purchased a new flex cable system that WHH has just started making. They have a machine that now makes custom length duel square end cables so you no longer need to solder. They have the flex shaft with a square ferrul and the other end is square to meet your collet at your engine. Nice new thing they have going on. Check them out.


Next time you see this boat, it will be in video with a hatch and it will be orange. I decided to change the color and the paint job got all screwed up from some gas spillage on the deck =/ lol

Looks good. Well done on completing your first boat.

You will now be brimming with knowledge and confidence to tackle the next one.

It's how the addiction starts!!

Enjoy.

I want to do a Catamaran next. I think I will do all the Zippkits eventually, but I want to try a Catamaran. Not for a while though, I am having fun running this beast =] lol

WAY COOL!! Gald to see it running! I put the second color on mine tonight and it's NOT BLUE! LOL Orange sounds cool! MAN![X(] That lake is DANGEROUS! All them branches sticking up and all!![X(][X(] Be carefull, Brian

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah the back of the lake is full of branches sticking up, but the front of the lake is totally clear of debris and such and is about as wide as 2 football fields. Not a bad place. I am looking for some locals to go have some fun with, hopefully I will meet a few here. I know someone said they were from Lakeland. Anyhow, I will wet sand this beast when I get back from my cruise at the end of the month.

here are your pics larry great looking boat...but them agsn so did you V BOX which mine might see water brfor it turns to ice

you say you had paint issues due to gas spilage what paint did you use?,try tetrosyl car spray in rattle cans ints great and 100% gas proof .also for primer get some filler primer in rattle cans it fills any pinnholes or blemishes really well and creates a great base for the top coat.then use clearcoat same make as the paint to protect from scratches from those twigs lol.oh yea congrats on the first outing she looks good.

when i get that far on my V-BOX auto paint spray bombs with auto clear coat,,, i did with a few of my nitro never bothered the paint and i tested many befor hand,,,, DUPLI-COLOR is the best thst workrf for me and also in manu colors

martno1fan

nitro is diff from gas ,gas will burn what nitro wont but that said any car paint should work thats whay i used tetrosyl and its cheap and in loads of colours and never seems to run .

martno1fan

It was medic who had the issues with paint thats who i replied to ,i like the teak deck on your boat
ps i think you need a smaller trailer for your boat

blizard05

The trailer is to get some of JAW's boats to the pond

martno1fan

oh well in that case I think you need a bigger trailer [X(] [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
