Default Man-O-War ?????

I have one of these RC boats I bought it a couple years ago. I believe is was based on a real race team and boat.

Do you know what real full size manufacture hull it was from and what size? I am trying to figure the "scale" of the RC boat I have.

Thanks,

I believe ManOWar was a 32 Cobra it was throttled by the Legendery BOB LATHAM. The pics I've seen of it it was black it didn't look awhole lot like that model but there may have been different boats that I've not seen.
PS being from Lake Orion do you ever it at OPA! my frien Bill owns it he has a 28 Pantera that was the first boat I ever raced in. He restaurant has a bunch of offshore stuff in it.

Thanks Robert and Ryan for the information now I have to get out my calculator.

Ryan, Yes we eat at OPA!'s quite often. They even have a top deck/cockpit of a pantera (maybe yours) mounted upside down to the ceiling. Many pictures too. Nice place and reasonable food too. They just redecorated last year.
