strange outboard

[XtremeRcBoats]

Found these pictures in another topic. There are a lot of pictures of the Japanese boating scene and found this strange outboard

Very wild looking boat to have a Yellow TS3 in the shot just behind it. At least we know they also use normal boats as well, lol.

i noticed that too...very strange indeed...

at least the boots match :lol: :lol: .looks like a k&b lower, who woulda thought i'd notice that? appears to have a fixed engine, with the rudder in back & a turn fin beside the engine. very strange rig indeed, would like to see some pics of it running.....

 

[moparbarn]

i take that fixed engine part back. looks like a link from the steering bellcrank to the engine. but, if you look closely, the link is to the left of the bellcrank pivot. that would turn the engine left & the rudder right at the same time ??? no skeg on the lower, what's the point of turning the engine - especially opposite from the rudder........unless maybe the rudder kicks the back around & the engine's prop thrust helps push the front over? i'm confused!!

Not just a K+B foot but the powerhead as well.. with a Tarno (or Kavan) carb!

The boots are killing me.. :lol:

I have to believe this idea started as a converted boogie board.. wild to say the least.

With boots like that you just have to have a bizarre looking boat. :lol:

I have thoes same boots in green.... NOT. I would have to wonder what a blow off would look like with that design?

I have thoes same boots in green.... NOT. I would have to wonder what a blow off would look like with that design?

Might come back at you like a boomerang....DUCK!!!!!!

 

[moparbarn]

a blow off would be impressive, i'm sure, but what about CHINE WALK ?

 

[Kevin Krogness]

Boots dont supprise me after all look at the double rudder boomerang he is holding! !! Would like to see some of theese designs run!!!!

If it works like a boomerang you wouldn't need a retrieve boat...but a boomerang that doesn't come back is just a stick.

Don't think it would be possible for the outboard boat to blowover. Might do a funky kinda sponson walk though!
