Hi Joel, Outboard hydro is just that, Hydro. You cannot run an outboard in sport 21 in namba. You will have to run in a-hydro. Bob B)

If you are in IMPBA, B would be 3.5. But from looking at what you asking I think you mean 3.5 outboard hydro. You will also be able to run it in NAMBA A outboard hydro. This is a 3.5 class. Most district don't run this class. But a few do-District 8,19. You will see this class at nats also. You will also be able to run it in A hydro but not sport 20.

I'm racing a Sundowner 7.5 K&B powered O/B rigger. It was built by Ken Reiley, other than being fun to race it's far off pace with the Eagle's and the MAC engines.

Guys,

Joel is refering to an APBA B stock laydown hydro. If you are scaling it down to run a .21 outboard you should be able to run it in sport 21. There is a guy from Sacramento that builds full sized boats and makes scale models to run R/C. He's been at the Nats a few years. Anyway Tony "Slow poke" ran one in our district last year, didn't have much luck with it though.

Ken Reily also makes those kits, well he used to. I heard Bill Peck still has one of his original kits unassembled and in the box.

Chris,

I believe Tony ran that boat in a-hydro. No outboards in any sport class. (namba)

You would have a heck of a time keeping all but the drive dog under the boat. Oh by the way, I hear the strut thing was shot down! Good news.
