Im in the process of making new cowlings for the vegas. Im making them look more like scale boats, they will be semi scale. it will still use the vegas platform. Right now im making one that will look like the leland hull, like the two Pico's. the 97 and 99. I'll have pictures soon. I also made new wings for the vegas.

Anything particular you want to see, I have a few more in mind to do but Im limited to only certain styles. I was going to do some simple ones too kinda like sport 40 and 20 styles. The Vegas cowl is ok but it's not the greatest as far as looks.just need variety.

ide like to see some that are more sleek looking. Like the standard 20 cowls. Just sort of a bubble the length of the cowl. kinda like the phil thomas boats. I seen one on a vegas that was absolutelly killer, but i cant find that picture anymore?

I like the sleek look, but I wonder how he got the steering arm to work since it doesn't go through the transom. I would put a turbine tube on the end so it work with the standard rod. I have a Vegas I put the steering through the transom and it more work to get a sevo to work it.

i may be wrong on this,,,but im taking a stab at it blue blaster....look at the pics carefully...you will notice the cowl sits higher than the deck,,,proly just high enough to run the rod where it was...

well joe changed the cowl top. He molded a miss vegas top. Now it looks like the miss circus circus and because it fitted in what paint scheam he's doing it in. Can you say space shuttle. He going to cast a mold from it.

Did he ruin the Dumas Eagle cowl using it as a plug? The size difference between the two boats makes the boat look more like a limited. That being said, you need to run headers out the sides of the cowl and lose the cropped off turbine tube to make it look right

nope.. he'd waxed it up good. we got three spaire dumas cowls kicking around. He's going to keep the turbine tube. Doing this as a the space shuttle.Put canard wing at the front and redo the mouth openning on the cowl and you got a miss circus circus and others that ran that cowl design. the first markup cowl that can be used as old fosted flakes and others with that design.Joe choped off the top of that cowl ,because he wanted to do the space shuttle and it didn't look wright for it. So he casted that vegas cowl top part that looked wright for that joe wanted.

Okay, if it's not a cut down Eagle cowl, how heavy is it? What did you power the boat with, a .45?
