Thank you David. I seen the hull on your site. That is were my interest started on it. You see I like to build stuff that is out of the ordinary. Everyone builds the Smoking Joe's Atlas, Miss Bud etc. I like the lesser known teams.

Was this hull raced under any other team name?

I like your thought on builds. It is always nice to see the non-mainstream boats brought back to life with the models. That boat was orginally the Renault, which is master hull roster number 8303. The boat with the Edge configuration only ran one year, in 1991. It also raced under the names of EDGE/HUNAN HARBOR and RUTT ENTERPRISES RACING, but I do not beleive that I have seen photographs of the boat racing without the Edge logo on the hull.

Thank you for the info David. One more question for you. Does anyone make a cowling for that hull?

 

[miniczar]

I do not know of anyone that does right now, but you should check with Steve with RC Boat Company. He talked about making one, his website is: http://rcboatcompany.com/
