I am fairly new to the sport in Australia. I have a gas powered Oboy Oberto boat. I think it is 1/8 scale. I have modified it with a Toxic marine engine & a decent tuned pipe. I got it running well with a 6717 prop. It got up on its tail & barrel rolled down the river last weekend, leaving a...

Mark, I have sent you an email. Craig.

I'm interested in this boat. I know it says US only, but is there any way this can be shipped to Australia? If so, at what cost? Craig.

Pete, The cowl needs to be about 90mm wide & about 500 mm long (from the front of the tunnel section on the hull- (not from the front tip of the nose of the cowl). Maybe you could check the Dumas & see if we have a fit. I appreciate your help. Craig.

Dave, That would be awesome! The closest I can get so far is to modify an HTB cowl, but it needs to be widened to suit. I can do fiberglass work, but that will be a tricky job.. Your help is greatly appreciated! B) Craig.

Tim, whats a stumble block? :unsure:

yeah, my cowl is at the bottom of the Hawkesbury River. Any ideas on how to replace it?? How do get in touch with John (?) the guy who built them? Any help earns a beer. ;)

I need to buy a replacement cowl for a Gadjetcraft F1-11 27". Can anyone help? I'm in Sydney, Australia.

Is John contactable in any way? I would appreciate any help.

Wow. Thanks. you know your stuff. How do I replace the cover Tim? Any ideas?? :(

heres the hull. i dont know what it is, but i need a new cover... HELP!!! is it a HTB??

its a 3.5cc Tim. Any ideas what hull this is & where I can get a new cover? Ian from Hooters racing has seen it at the last Penrith meeting. He might know. I have messaged him, but not heard back as yet. Closest I can figure so far is it might be a HTB hull. :huh:

pics.. any idea what hull this is? & where do I get a replacement cover from?

Heres some pics..

yeah i just emailed him. I feel like such a goose for not fitting up flotation to the cowl. :( . I'll get the pics of the hull up in a few hours. Back to the garage & the fiberglass resin! Thanks heaps for your help! I think I finally know what I have now. Yeah, its a ripper little boat. B)

kroggs, yeah man, its VERY similar to that hull. the fixing points at the back of the cowl are different, but i reckon i can get the fiberglass & resin out & sort that out no worries bro. Do you know where i could get this cowl? I'll post some pics of the hull in a few hours- that should help...

It was fiberglass...well, it still is, its just at the bottom of the river now. Im pretty good with fiberglass work, & I think I should be able to get a mould or a second hand cowl & modify it to suit.

guys, thanks heaps for your advice. It is VERY similiar to that HTB hull- only difference- at the back it has a return on the cowl & uses D clips attached on the flat part of the hull, not on the side of the cowl. I am hoping the Sydney boys can hook me up with a replacement cowl, that I can...

Nope, its not that one. And its obviously not a Bandit one, or 2. The boat looks very similar to Julian's HTB-290 hull. I'll put pics up in a few hours. I really appreciate the help! Any help from Australia guys ? :unsure:

Nope. I'm so confused! I thought it was a bandit hull, coz it has a thunder tiger engine. I'll post pics in a few hours, when I get home. The cover hooks over the front of the tunnel, then uses "D" clips to hold it down at the back. Im hoping Ian from Hooters racing can help! Craig.
