B-25 Bomber Crash (Scale Model)

Thank you. I enjoy it. I even make custom props for them. I made a prop for a buddy and it was FAST. the down side was he did not tighten it all the way and it fell off. He was so in love with it he hired a diver to spend all day looking for it. Never did find it tho.....

Boats at those speeds have a very short life span.

I use to build a lot of boats for people. I have now moved to a hand built wood hulls as the fiberglass ones take way to much work to get true and run clean. A fast boat will not be sitting in the water hardly at all. Once it's up on the prop, all that touches is the turn fin, prop and rudder. The problem is when you dive into a turn the side of the boat hits the water and if the hull is not dead nuts true the boat will "hook" and loose a lot of speed. Each time you turn the rudder it realy slows down the boat so I want as much turn as I can build in with the least amount of rudder input. What I DO NOT want is the driver chasing the boat with the rudder, that is not fast.

It's funny I never thought I would enjoy boats. I cant stand RC cars and i figured boats are just like cars but more expensive.

Man was I wrong. All it took was one guy to let me try and drive his boat and I was hooked. They are not easy to drive.
