Thanks guys for all your help. The first thing I'm going to do is remove the rear sponsons. I will keep you posted.

here is a little drawing that I did so it can be seen better.

For years I was buying mounts for my antennas on my RC boats at 4 dollars a pop, well today the hobbie shop was out of them so I had to do something fast. I have a new rigger that I had to try out. well I got the radio box lid and drilled a small hole the size of a fuel line, after I drilled the...

Sorry that the pictures are a little blury.

Well guys, I'm sorry to say. It did not do as well as I thought it would. the rear stays real deep in the water, wount get up on plane at all. when I first throw it in it runs, but in a few feet in it drops. and just putts along. I moved the strut and rudder up and wet sanded the bottom of the...

Well my FE rigger is almost done ;D. I hope it runs good. ???. well I will let you guys know. wish me luck. Ruben

I allmost have have the FE rigger done. all I need is the running hardware. but I'm not sure who to buy it from. Ruben

I just orderd two of them, I clicked on the link with out reading all the post. Thanks Ruben

Did you buy the K&B motor new? if you did who did you buy it from? Ruben

Tom are you talking to me? the brass tubes are sleevs, inside of them goes a 3/8 alum rod. this way if I would like to remove or ajust the offset of the sponsons I can. it is all held in place with a bolt, you know, like the old Mongoose outriggers. I have an old HPI motor. should I use this to...

Well the nice thing about Gas boats, is after your done running them at the pond, you can use them to cut your grass. and if someone ever says your making to much noise you can just tell them it's not me it's that guy mowing his grass. Ruben

On my old Riggers I have a alum T handel that I would use to launch the rigger. any ideas who might still make them? I need three of them, for a 21, 15, FE rigger and maybe a 45 soon. I think it would too cool having all the sizes. :-) If you would like see what I mean, I will post a picture of...

It's hard do say, it has do to with what pipe you have and and what prop you are turing and fuel % you are using but it can be anywhere from 9 1/2 to 10 1/4, as far as what plug I use what ever I have, I have seen its very important to use a glo-plug starter with a full charge. Ruben

What I do is very much like the other guy. I use two brass tubes, one where the shaft runs in and another that that tube go in. I cut the bottom of the boat for the larger tube to fit, the I cut to strips of hard wood at the same angle as the tube I hold them in place with some CA. then I turn...

Yes I have talked to Grifield Hobby, and what they sell is called a Mongoose but it is no way like the Mongoose of years past. Ruben
