larger engine rc boats?
Anyone know of any rc boats where bigger than usual motors like a Briggs or jet ski motor was used? It's above my skills to try and piece one together but I'm dieing to see some pictures.
Or any full size boats that have been converted. Thanks.

RE: larger engine rc boats?
a few years back we built a 7ft aluminum boat and put a 750cc jet ski power package in it
boat was way too small for the power but it was way too much fun too, it wasnt rc we rode in it

This is the best I can do, Kawasaki KX60 in my 66 inch Viper rigger, 16 horse power. Just a little something I knocked up over a week end.

Viper, what would the cost be on building a rigger like that? Can't wait to see the vid!

The last run it did was 110km/hr with a modified octura 482 but i have some new 110mm cnc machined 3 blade props to try this week and I hope to get around 130 km/hr out of it. It was spinning a 482 like it was not even on it.
