I talked briefly about this one in another area so I thought that I'd show it here.
Steve at Offshore Electrics offered me a Delta Force 12 (25) that had some damage. He knew that I was looking for a hull like this and he had just gotten some in.
To it I added Speedmaster hardware, an LRP .12 truck engine (Picco under another nameplate) and a Hi-tec FM radio system. Other parts include an OS flywheel, Mac Products pipe for initial running as I have one of Glenn's Texan .12 pipes to try on it later. Some home-made parts like extruded carbon fiber engine rails and wood radio box. Lots of parts were tried and some tossed to the side to find what does and didn't work.
The boat should be hitting the water this week with some final work to be done. Also not in these shots is a muffler from David Preusse at CD Machine that arrived a couple of days ago.
I'll shoot a video on it's first outing to let you see if I messed up or not! It will be on Wednesday at the earliest but hopefully before the weekend as we have thunderstorms predicted for later in the week. This is the boat that I want to put one of Andy's new rudders on as I asked him about one without a water pick-up.
