Hi Bill, Sorry for not responding sooner. I had a serious personal matter that took all my attention. Thanks for your input! Don

Hi Hydro Junkie, Out of curiosity, where can I view this master hull roster? There must be rule book also. I live in Ocala, Florida. I think there's a club in Orlando, which is about 2 hours from me. Please understand, my life changed a year ago when my mother fell and severely broke her...

Hydro Junkie, Yes, this boat will be just for fun. I don't even know of any boat clubs in my area. I didn't know some clubs won't let a boat race that's not within spec. Thanks for the info! Don

Bill: I haven't gotten that far yet as to what kind of paint I might be using. Are you saying if I prime with a light color I'll have to put more coats of red paint? M@MRacing: I didn't even now graphic shops offered a "wrap". Moparbarn: Thanks for the tip! Don

Thanks for your feedback guys! I'm liking this forum more and more :-) Okay, so OS and Picco are not options because they don't make .60 size plus engines anymore. What about OPS, Rossi and MAC? Don: I'm still new to R/C boating. Who is Al Hobbs and who makes this new "AA" .67 motor? Can...

Hi all, Looks like the availability of .60 plus marine nitro engines are more limited as I see OS doesn't offer a .60 size anymore and I read Picco and one other company (I can't remember) is not making marine nitro engines anymore. Who are the dealers for CMB in the US? Don

Hi Rick, Thanks for your tip about sanding the gel coat! As to what I'm after. A quality built fiberglass boat, a proven hull (if there is such a thing) that runs good without having to make major modifications to get it running right. I'm not that big into exact scale specs. If the...

Thanks for your feedback guys! My dad always told me, when you hear something, find out if it's true :-) I have a choice between white or red gel coat finish. If I decide to paint the boat, it will be red. Even though I'll have to put primer on the gel coat first, should I get the white or...

Thanks for your responses guys! Rob, you have a beautiful T-4! I talked with Chris (owner) yesterday at Fine Designs who is the distributer in the US for Hydro & Marine out of Germany. He asures me the fiberglass work is top notch and is vacuum bagged. They will be getting a shipment in 3...

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a new boat that has a gel coated finish. A friend of mine said that if I paint the hull I'll have a hard time getting the paint to stick to the gel coat; is this really true? Is gel coat a finish meant to replace paint? Don

Hi all, I fell in love with the 1/8 scale Bud T4 hull! The only manufacture I know of is Hydro & Marine, but they are located in Germany. Does anyone have any comments about the quality of Hydro & Marine glass work and running the T4? Are there any other manufacturers who make the Bud T4...

Jerry, I'd be interested in hearing what you're using for steering servo/s in your tunnel hulls? Don

Thanks for your response Jerry! I took the PTO assembly outside to look at it in the sunlight and can now see how the ball bearing on the crankshaft side gets it's lubrication from oil in fuel simply trickling down. However, when I put some drops of red Marvel oil into the bearing on the...
