IF it's the little nitro boat,... you've got a lot of work to do,... Quickest way to get faster is by a .12 rigger hull. A friend and I worked on his missbud for weeks... new engine and everything,... It's just a dog..
Looks cool though..
Anthony, I beg to differ the little Bud Boats here in the Orlando Culvert Dogers Club are running very good! There are many things you can do to improve the out of the box performance. It just depends on what you want to spend. The best thing to do is if you have the original boat is go to flex shaft instead of hard shaft change all the original hardware with SpeedMaster mini rudder and strut, change the turn fin and of course some nice props to test with.

I didn't mean it couldn't be done Ron but your right,.. it's expensive and a lot of work. . How fast are they going with them. We had to redo the radio box too. He finally just gave up and went to little riggers. I'd like to see that boat going fast. I think they look SUPER cool. I had a little Atlas Vanlines designed by Gary Findlay that I build from thin ply that was real fast. I'd guess upper 40's on smooth water. It was so light it destroyed itself. I'm going to start a new sport12 hydro design soon.
