Getting back into RC boats, Since i retired from Marine shop owner of over 30 years , Repairing outboards, New motor and boat sales. Custom Big custom ordered aluminum Boats, and My custom Aluminum welding work on them. In Port O'Connor. Texas, near Victoria.
I built my first Dumas DragNfly kit over 30 years ago with a KB 3.5 outboard, Never splashed or started it. Daughters cat knocked it down and cracked the rear part of the hull, years ago . My son and I had a Couple Electric boats Kosho in the early 90's him Vee Me, Wave baster tunnel hull with Electric outboard. Son in Law bought Grand son a small electric boat to run in his small pond, now dry. But pulled everything out of top of the closet, got the electric boats up and running. Building a Dumas wood Hot shot kit now. Bought another good looking and shape KB 3.5 nitro outboard, but going to go electric conversion to the new dumas with a outboard drive. I have a 2050 motor and bracket coming from inland waters now and run off a 5000 3s. 90 amp flycolor esc ,Radiolink RG6 transmitter. Dang things have sure changed since the Old futba i bought back int he 80's on radios , etc. Get the Dumas hotshot finished tested and work on the Drag n fly hull and burn some Nitro. I bought a used 7.5 KB nitro outboard for a future project.
Get them out with my two grands kids and enjoy some time and the rc boats with them. Thanks Sonny Cook
