This is a 49" Perkasa built from a ply Precedent kit - the build blog is on this site. Videoed from a 46" Fireboat on a lake in Western Australia. Neither boat is running at top speed, which is spectacular but overscale! Both boats have identical brushless motors. Apologies for the video being a bit long, and for the water on the lens, but this is a first attempt and I hope you enjoy the music.

This was a precedent 49 inch kit that I made during last year. I wasn't at all Impressed with the kit. The precut plywood parts were cut with knife blade tools and the tools were obviously past their sell by date. The shapes were very poor. if I make another kit I will make a point of looking for a laser cut hit.
Having said that I am pleased with the outcome.

I have just completed this model - just waiting for the new prop to arrive along with a flag for the main mast, plus handrail staunchions. it was a Precedent all wood kit and not too Impressed with the materials but you only get what you pay for. I have fitted a Graupner 700 Speed Turbo and a Torpedo 50 Amp ESC. I am powering it with 2 6 volt SLA's wired in series. Overall I think it has turned out not too bad and it seemed to get better the more I worked on it (or is that psychlogical)Tested in the Marine testing laboratory (white bath) and floats OK with no sign of a leak (fingers crossed). Our boating pond will be frozen over at the moment so no real testing can take place yet.

Hi,all help required ,can anybody tell me what type /make of boat this is ,and can you give me some info as to where I may get plan/bits.I just had it given to me,as well as a Precedent huntsman and require some help refurbishing.
thank you.
