S 7 schnellboot
scratchbuilt from ply and balsa wood powered by two Caldercraft 750 motors to 40mm props only took about three months to build as a winter project its not perfect but was never meant to be more than a toy, 54 inches long and gives a good response in speed and handling

    Looks good for 'a toy'. Happy boating. 😊

    This particular version of Schnellboat is one I have been looking at for some time to build after I complete my current project of Smit Rotterdam.
    Being Scratch-built, I think you have done a particularly good job of it. Did you draw up the plans for this yourself or are they available on the internet for purchase. if I dont build this next it would be one I would like to build in the future.

M.F.A Tracker
This is my M.F.A Tracker . When originally purchased it had the large and heavy 850 motors in it and old electronics , after a close call with a fire on board I decided to refit her out with modern Brushless motors and over rated Escs powered by Lipo's . Works out a 1/3 rd the weight 3 times the speed and run time over an hour . So a great result

Oh yes , sound effects donated by nearby Tug 😊

Attic Treasure
I found the basic boat, a Keil Kraft Sea Rover, in an old second hand shop some years ago, and decided to put her back together. Couldn't resist adding some figures to the deck, even a pair of binoculars.
I added a RC motor and took her to a nearby boating lake. Used a couple of times before retiring to the loft for the last 10 years.
Recently took her out and after a bit of polish and oil for the pro shaft, she's running well.
My question is, does anyone know what's she's worth?

Empire Raymond.
HI All, E.Raymond is 36 inches long x 9 inches beam. She is scratch built, plank on frame with 3mm ply deck. I made her from the Cervia plans and enlarged them to 36 inches. She has a 540 type motor which I rewound with 80 turns of 30swg wire, for more torque. She has a 4 blade prop 60mm diam. and powered by a 6v 4amp SLA battery. I started the build last March, she's not quite finished yet, needs an anchor winch making and a set of tyres on the sides and other small details. I sail her at Holyhead Breakwater Park when I can.

RTTL 1/16 scale
Built from a kitishack kit 56" it runs on two Hobby King 750kv brushless motors I used brake pipe to make the motor cooling coils two 200a water cooled esc,s, I got the 5mm shafts & 42mm brass props and couplings from SHG models the power is supplied via two 14.8v lipos this is a really powerful boat

    I think with two beefy out runners, 42mm props on 14.8 lipos it should be a very powerful boat. However I like big boats properly engineered. Well done. 😀
