Mike Luszcz 7.5 Outboard Kneeler

[Jerry Dunlap]

Mike built this hull when he first started building boats. I think even before he started his model boat business. He scaled up a set of plans for my 35" Kneeler to 42". It is WOF construction. I'm not sure Mike ever ran the boat before he sold it to me. After I received the boat, it just sat in my shop till last spring when I decided to set it up. It probably runs about 40 - 42 mph and corners fine with the big turn fin. It is a great running sport boat. However, as I begin my 50th year of racing next year I'm thinning my fleet.

The boat is being sold without servos/fuel tank, and engine. I located a box at my local hobby shop of just sufficient size to ship the boat. I would like to get $100 for the boat and $60 for cost of shipping it in the U.S. It just flat costs BIG BUCKS to ship oversize boxes by those brown trucks.

I don't have a PayPal account, so a check or money order will work just fine.

Happy Holidays,

JD

That brings back memories. That was the second wood boat I ever built! It is all hand cut, no laser stuff. You should have seen the 56" version I built for a guy in florida. Not sure he ever ran it. Mike

Who would have thought back when you built the 7.5 Kneeler that you would be a model boat manufacturer today.

The pill bottle mufflers really do reduce the exhaust sound. The 7.5 sounds kind of mellow in tone.

Hi Darryl,

I've already packed the boat in the shipping box. The bottom is basically the same bottom design as my 35" Kneeler. As I mentioned, Mike scaled up my design to 42" I'd rather not unpack the boat. I can provide a photo of the bottom of one of my 35" Kneelers. The boat really does corner well. Better than my "35'inchers."
