Is that s-fhss or t-fhss? What are u trying to get if the original poster hasn’t bought it?

Nice boat sir, if u really want to sell it, u should put it in the for sale section, if u haven’t already! Good luck

Also the higher percent of nitro gives you more or less oil contents? I just want to play it safe and don’t need an extremely fast machine, I’d rather have an easier tuneable machine!

Ya this is the machine I’m referring too. It actually sounded nice and smooth and very loud but I did not have good throttle response nor was it tacking it all that much. But I’m sure the previous owner used a different type of nitro as well. I run rc Helis so all I had laying around was 30%...

Do they make the futaba S-fhss in the orange version. the real futaba ones get expensive, especially when your running all Futaba in your planes/helicopters

Yes the OS carb looks nice but like I said, it’s Way too small, there’s about a two millimeter gap in the O.D. of the carb and the inlet of the engine! I had it started once just because the whole boat was new to me and I wanted to see if the engine would even run so I just wrapped some tape...

NorthWest? No I’m on the opposite coast, I live up in Bangor Maine but I’ve also lived out in Bremerton WA,Georgia and went to college in Colorado. But I’m back in my home state of Maine. not many boaters up my way. Trying to turn my brother and acouple friends into this hobby, once they see my...

Ya sounds like a good time sweeping that up, probably still finding it years later! and what would u suggest ML boat works or west coast custom boats? Does WC offer build kits or do they do more of a mold/fiberglass carbon boats? is there any particular ML boats that are easier to build then...

Well see when I bought it the 45 was blown up and the 65 runs good , so I’ve been on the hunt for new bearings,piston sleeve,piston and crank for the 45. I’m going to experiment with it this summer and maybe switch them up. Do you know the average prop size for a .65 engine or does it all depend...

I’m up in the Bangor Maine area, I’ve found a few guys down in southern maine that race but nobody up here. Which kind of stinks because I want to learn how to sharpen and balance props. I’m sure I could figure it out by watching YouTube but I’d rather have a person with mutual interest teach...

Ya I ordered all new linkages,rudders,tubes, all kinds of new stuff for the ol girl! And thank you ya I really love this paint scheme, it’s gorgeous out in the sun with the sparkle/glitter in the green paint! Also ya i guess I was confused, my boat has a brass bushing and I was calling it a...

Hey guys I have a green horn question for some of you more experienced and senior boaters. I got this hydroplane and it has a brass liner , well I ordered new flex shafts and marine geese but I did not think to order the brass liner or Teflon liner. My question is what’s the difference in...

Man that’s an awesome setup u have in your shop! Parts “out of stock” hold my beer and I’ll make u one! Haha

1800 Horses , sounds like one hell of a death trap to me! I think I’d rather drive the RC model rather then the full scale if I had the chance!

Thanks Mike, I’ll have to go check that page out. I love following along your progression in your boat build thread! It’s really encouraged me to pull the trigger and try building my first scale. I’m wondering what other tools I would need other then a lot of woodworking clamps,sander,micrometer...
