Chad,
A friend of mine just got an Enforcer. I hope to get a call when he gets a chance to give it a maiden voyage yet this fall. I'll see then if I get the bug to get one myself. I'm not sure if I'd use one much. They're a little big to take out on the boat and not be in the way while you're running or overnighting. And, I know another person who has one and says you want to have a PWC or some way to go get them in the lake if you have to. got any thoughts on those points? I'd like to have one, but would I really get use out of it?

"Where's the Beak?" LOL (Really old Wendy's commercial.)

I have 2 Enforcer's, a Sport and a Team. Bought them both used on eBay (yea, I'm addicted!). They really are great fun to run, especially against each other. I like to find a vacant cove and let 'em rip. Watching these things launch off a roller is a sight to behold. It's amazing the number of curious people that come over to watch.

Tantrum is right- it's easy to put a wad of money into mods. I prefer to run the stock Homelites (water cooled / clutch) and not worry about lunching a motor. I considered putting a Zenoah/Hanson in, but why?? They're plenty of fun with Homies!

32 Fever- I use a small plastic kayak as a recovery vessel. It fits in the cabin (with the door closed) while underway, and makes a great platform for fishing/ exploring. I used to use a cheap inflatable, but put a huge gash in the hull one day when pulling the R/C boat aboard (those rudders are sharp!)

mini big block for those boats

I built one last year with a pro mod 30cc weedwacker motor, ran like 45 -50 mph. Surface drive, trim tabs, custom paint and direct drive. noisy as hell at 13,000 rpm Now "290PQ" on the board owns it..

my buddy Johhny has one that he made. He is a model maker at our work. He fabricated a liquid cooled head and even has thru hull exhaust with the water exiting through the exhaust!!!

It's cool !!


pick your hobby I say. Wife says i have tooooo many!!

I have a 39" scale model of a cig. made by Dumas boats back in the early 80's. My bride gave it to me as gift, took more than 5 months to rig. Since has been re-rigged twice due to unintentional sinking. Current K/B motor spins up 2.2 hp at 23000 rpm with a tuned pipe, pressurized fuel delivery, and exhaust throttle. Of course it is water cooled, and the pick up is behined the prop for better circulation. Running a Futaba 4 channel radio, steering, throttle, and port/stbd trim tabs. Thinking of going back to a carb. becouse the exhaust throttle makes a damn mess of the bilge it works good but the fuel in the bilge makes it hard to start. Very fast and a bunch of fun!!

no but is just over 5 feet sa wone go on ebay last week for low 400 just boat no motor or electronics.

www.aeromarinerc.com (has drambuie,"rock-it",apache etc.)

www.bonzisports.com (has an 84" yes 84" apache)

I would check out the magazine, it has articles for R/C boats just like the others have articles for our boats.

Got this whole shootin' match from Hobby-Lobby, including the radio for about $550.
