25cc Homie with a big bore carb,water cooled head,wet tuned pipe
Direct drive Running a prather 270 prop runs in the low 40's range not too bad for my first gas boat
The guys in it are 2 Jeff Gorden 12 inch figures witch I dyed and painted the iniforms and helmets to give the boat a more realistic look
I designed the tribal flames in photoshop and the guys from [link=http://www.wickedstickers.com]www.wickedstickers.com[/link] made them for me
thats about it.

I always liked the look of that hull. How does it handle so far with that gas in it? It is a 6o!mph hull, in nitro form

I love the way it handles, It is a great hull for gas in my opinion.

If you blow your motor up, or want some more performance. Put a modded 231 or 26 zenoah in it, With a CC 2" banded pipe Your boat should handle better two. Your motor is probably making 2hp. A moddified 231 will make around 6hp.

the 231 and 260 is the same motor. So if you get a 231 and want a bit more torque and performance you can just swap the jug and piston
