Sorry, don't want gas, don't want a cat. I enjoy building things so I don't want to start with a premade hull. I want to do all the work myself. I have been in the RC hobby for 20+ years, and am good with wood and fiberglass/gel coat. So rightn now the only way to go is from scratch.. When I start the project, I will post progress pics. I probably won't start the project until fall.

SO I GOT INTO GIANT SCALE PLANES THEN THOUGHT WHY NOT G/S BOATS -I FOUND A GUY WHO DID A 7' CAT BUT STILL TO SMALL.
I'M THINKING 12-14' SCALE V-HULL WITH A KAWASAKI 300 JETSKI DRIVE AND ENGINE-YES INSANE YES- BUT THERES A GUY HERE IN MAINE WHO BUILT A 30' MODEL OF THE USS MISSOURI W/AN OUTBOARD IN IT. HE COULD SIT IN AND FIRE THE GUNS(Co2)-SO WHY NOT.
WHAT A BLAST - SINTTING IN YOUR BOAT AND SCREAMING A BIGASS R/C BOAT AROUND

I HAVEN'T DONE IT YET -GOT SKI AND BASIC PLANS -BUT MY POINT IS YOU HAVE THE R/C SKILLS, IF YOUR INTERESTED IN A V-HULL LOOK THE BANDIDO ON GLEN L
http://www.glen-l.com/
http://www.boatdesigns.com/Bandido-S...nfo/60-872PDF/
YOU CAN GET STUDY PLANS W LOFTING LINES AND PATTERNS ENOUGH TO DO THE HULL FOR R/C THEN MODIFY/MODERNIZE THE DECK.
IF I CAN FIND MY PLANS I'LL SEND THEN TO YOU.WHATS YOUR EM ADDRESS -KEEP ME POSTED

What's the website that has all the *****en 50" "Apaches" and little mini #6 drives? Its some funky name and hard to find on the web. But the site has all kinds of cool stuff.
I'm into basically anything with a remote control (copters, planes, boats, trucks, drones...) But I would never want to build something. I like to play with them, not build them. lol

[QUOTE=lavey jr;4283863]I started building one by hand. Bottom made of mostly wood, fiberglass, and bondo. The deck is all hand carved from hard cell foam. Haven't completed it yet. Next step is to make a mold off of it.
