What hull did you get Ron? Did you have better results? Thanks Ron. I will do that.. I am an experienced builder,. but this would be my first gas build.

Thanks for the responses guys. I do know Mike and I'm aware of his boats. I don't know that I'm looking to do a true scale build though.. plus I'm looking for a more all inclusive kit..

Are these stupid questions? I’m really surprised that no none is responding.

I would be able to come down there in the spring, after I get some run time in the the boat I have not built yet, Lol. It’ll take about a month or so after I get it.

I’m looking at building this boat. I’m looking for - build tips - cautions -prop suggestions - example pics -decal kits - ventilation, does it need more? -what about a carb isolator? What is this isolating? Heat? - zip hardware kit- I know they’re not high end components but is there anything...

Well, I almost went electric but I pulled back at the last minute. The charging time and all the tape is just not for me. I think the right step back in for me is going to be the thunder boat. And I have questions. Going from nitro to gasoline, it is still a two-stroke engine. So I am...

Got it..

I can't seem to figure out how to do an instant message..

I'm in Clarksville TN now and I'm working on getting back into boats. Does anyone know of a place to run / test / race in the area?

I live in Nashville now.. honestly I could almost run year round if I really wanted to.. cold air is dense.. makes for fast boats.. and slow fingers!

That's funny.. I just called them,.. she said they are short the turn fin or something.. He's going to call me later.. maybe I get one and wait on the turn fin.. won't be needing that for a long time.

I'm sure it will be fast. JAE style gas boat,.. it will for sure be fast. I spent years building boats and obsessing over weight, aero and hydro dynamics, props.. I don't want to do that anymore. I want one that goes fast, floats on air down the straights,. tends to be reliable and isn't too...

Yeah.. I've looked through that boat instructions and design. I think it's good and I believe I can build a real nice boat with it. Stock 260pum is not so expensive,.. and it should run mid 50's pretty easily I think. and honestly,. that's pretty darn fast with a boat that big..

Yeah. good guys.. I did some design work for them years ago.. I think the thunderboat cowl is still my work.. not sure though..

Well,.. I was about 2 seconds from ordering a bunch of stuff to start an electric build.. Something made me stop.. I think gas will be a better direction for me. I loved nitro boats, but the fuel cost, plugs, super special painted needed,,etc etc,.. I'm thinking to build one of the thunderboat...

It's probably fine. I would just keep this in mind in the future. In your fiberglass work, in my experience the fiberglass, CF, Kevlar, whatever u use, adds stiffness the most when applied in the corners. Meaning that if you add a piece on the bottom and one on the side, you will not see as...

Hello,. I'm in the adhesives engineering industry. On your clamping of the transom,.. If you clamp it like this and do not put something in-between the plies, you can get a condition where you do not have enough adhesive between the parts. Believe it or not,. with epoxy, the best bond will...

cost of batteries is most definitely a concern at 80-100$ each!

boy this is a pricey start up,.. but not buying fuel, plugs, ignitors, starters, starter batteries,. etc,.. still sounds good..
