    I'm not a big OT pipe guy but I saw this and just had to have it. It's fully remote control throttle,turning jet nozzle and reverse bucket. Boat specs: 32" long by 12" wide, wood construction. Engine:OPS .40 cc with tuned pipe(one big Zoomie?)Runs 25% nitro fuel.Pump: Axial flow,1.58" impeller.
    HMMM... I wonder if Place has a diverter for this one? http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

    http://www3.telus.net/spectrasonly/Pb170011.jpg , here's a picof some of my projects.The arneson drive on the white boat is coupled to a 35cc Pioneer chainsaw engine,the Zenoah engine with the tuned pipe will be in a new project.The mahogany boat dates back to the 50's http://free.***boat.net/ubb/eek.gif,with a V-drive.The heli is my third model.CC ,get a boat with a Zenoah engine that runs on regular fuel,instead of the very expensive nitro fuel.

    CC, that's one of the coolest toys I've seen. Looks like a flatbottom jet with tabs no less - sweet!
    Spectra's, where did you find that mini Arneson drive? what does that boat do?

    CC, I didn't find the Arneson,I built it.I've even made a universal [CV] for it ,but had to replace it with the conventional 1/4 in racing cable.The 35CC engine puts out close to 3 HP and the universal's tiny ballbearings wouldn't handle the power.The Zenoah factory engine [between the white boat; 46 inch Unlimited class Prather hull ,and the mahogany crackerbox]is made for marine use with water jacket and built in pullstart.BTW the white boat does about 50MPH with a step up beltdrive system [approx 16000 prop RPM with an Octura 3 blade prop].I've built that boat in 1980,and it's mothballed right now.My son is 12 and I hope by age 14 he'll have a knack for serious modelbuilding http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif.

    Custom,
    Where did you find the jet boat?! I'd love to have one to mess around with. I've been to the local R/C store that recently opened in town, and all they have are unlimited hydro style boats. I've even searched the net but haven't found anything like that.
    That pup is wild!

    Also check out www.rcboatmodeler.com/reviews.asp (http://www.rcboatmodeler.com/reviews.asp) some cool boats on there too. I do recall seeing a jetboat in a past issue, but can't find it. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif
