    To all IMPBA Outboard Racers.

    I have had quite a few people call and express their feelings about our current lack of choices for complete outboard engines and replacement powerheads. As you all know since Nova Rossi has stopped manufacturing their line of powerheads that our classes so heavily relied on, the O/S 3.5cc and...

    Here we go...Plywood Shortage?

    According to the Zipp Kit web site they are out of plywood and no longer cutting kits and with no Estimated Date of Arrival. We all know what this will do to plywood prices and in turn the cost of laser cut wood kits. We have been hard at work on our LSG O/B Tunnel Kits and this is not good...

    SOWEGA WARM UP RACE

    This past weekend in SOWEGA was a warm up for the O/B Tunnel Guys. I would like to commend some hard charging top finishing racers that always bring the game to SOWEGA. These guys work hard on their setups and they will be tuff to deal with at the All Tunnel Championships in May. If you want to...

    A topic to think about

    Does aerodynamics matter much on tunnelboat design? Here is your answer : ABSOLUTELY YES! How can you know that what I am telling you is true? Here is your 3 part answer: 1 ) Old style boat designs (I don't have to name them because you already know witch ones they are) REQUIRE you to run...

    Looking for someone to broach or burn square drives.

    I will need to have some prop shafts burned or broached. The old guy that did them for me in the past has recently passed away. I will be having blanks turned and ground and once they are done I will need someone ready to knock out the .152" Dia. roughing hole into a .156" square X .550" deep...

    3D is great for prototyping new parts

    I keep way too many projects going around here and like I really have time for another one but I am tired of waiting for a 7.5cc lower unit that comes with a bullet proof prop shaft assembly that is comparable to the one used in the O/S 3.5cc legs. My new prototype unit makes use of current off...

    Looking for a good source for: Investment Casting Aluminum

    I am looking for a good source for investment casting aluminum. I could go online and blindly pick somebody but I had rather work with someone who comes recommended from a person who has been happy with their work. I have the drawings, 3d models and actual prototype parts made as well. I just...

    WTB K&B 3.5cc SS Power Head

    I am looking for an old K&B 13mm power head. We are trying to keep a couple of old boats going just in case someone drops by our pond while we are running and would like to drive one. We had two guys stop by last Sunday and was interested. If you have the complete engine that is not too ragged...

    Getting ready to watch the rocket launch...

    Working on a new boat design and getting ready to watch the launch. I hope this launch goes well today. We need to be back in the lead for space travel and have the ability to commute to semi low orbit vehicles. I watched the moon walk live on a black & white TV when I was nine years old. It...

    Who made the first production O/B Tunnel?

    I remember that somewhere in 1977-78 there was a guy building a wooden tunnel he called the Excaliber. In the 1979 December RCMB magazine plans were featured for this boat. I looked for it this morning but could not put my hand on it. Was the Excaliber the first production R/C Outboard Tunnel...

    Homemade Buoys? Hey, they work!

    Maintaining a track is not what some people think of when they get into this hobby but every time you go to the pond you should be running around buoys. It keeps some order on the pond and helps you when you go to a race. What I have learned is that you have to figure out how to make a buoy...

    REK Lower Units - Who makes them?

    Years ago Jim Irwin was involved in building the black Valox / Fiberglass injected lower units and I remember the units had his name on them when they first came out. I was told that Bill Rennick had the molds for these lower units. What has happened to these? I see where the FE guys are using...
