I am looking to build an inexpensive stand that will store several boats in a corner of the basement. Looking forward to building an MLboatworks kit this winter which will mean trying to keep seven boats from becoming trip hazards in my very limited basement workshop. Considered a modular pvc...

I thought I had a build plan for the coming winter. . . a whiplash sport 20. From everything I've read it has a pretty solid reputation. I would prefer something different in the cowl design though so I've been taking a closer look at the MLboatworks Gp335. I love the look of the modern hydros...

Can anyone tell me what modifications, if any, I need to make to the hinge pin (? not sure of correct terminology) in order to use a a REK lower unit with a Hyperperformance mount? I have a REK installed on the transom of my kneeler hydro and have found it to be a major pain to make any...

I've been searching this forum for possible answers to why my rigger is pulling to the right at high speed. This boat that was built from JAE21 G2 plans a buddy passed along to me last winter. Besides having to modify the tub to accomodate a 4s setup I also fabricated the turn fin as to the...

Can anyone help me get this right. I built my rigger from the public domain plans (FE) that a buddy sent me over the winter. It seems that the plans have evolved since this particular release because the boom tube position is located further back than is pictured in the FE instructions posted on...

I am using one of these on my kneeler hydro and recently lost the retaining clip that holds the pin in place which joins the outboard leg to the mount on the transom. The thing was a nuisance to put on and remove and I noticed it had jumped ship after my last run. Fortunately the pivot pin...

A couple of rc friends talked me into doing the build thing this winter. They'd been at the hobby since the 80's I think. One of them has a JAE12 nitro that he was running when I first met him a couple of years ago and I knew that it would be a boat I wanted to own in the future. He shot me the...

I've been building a couple of boats this winter, a redtail kneeler hydro and a JAE21 FE. The kneeler is complete and saw her maiden run two weeks ago. I'm pretty excited about that. I am in the final stages of the JAE21 build based on the public domain plans. This is only the second scratch...

I posted in the hydro forum and someone suggested placing this here instead. I am in the process of finishing a FE kneeler hydro build and am looking for ideas re: a water pick up for the REK lower unit I bought from a buddy last summer for this build. Although I've seen pics of such set ups...

I am in the process of finishing a FE kneeler hydro build and am looking for ideas re: a water pick up for the REK lower unit I bought from a buddy last summer for this build. Although I've seen pics of such set ups with what seems like a water pick up drilled through the cavitation plate there...
