About this boat

Scratch built from photos and memory of the the full sized 20ft NZ Hartley designed cabin boat I owned in the 80s. Has a 26mm jet drive with a brushed high performance 12/24v ball bearing 540 motor. Has an air pump pressurised exhaust smoke device and a water pump, all started on a timer (made by Graham)- - smoke, water and air all comes through the exhausts.

Has interior, dash and nav lights (LEDs), full interior, (galley, bunks with removable felt covered squabs), - rear bunk lids hinged for battery access, and carpet. Also has a 'GT Power' engine sound system. Has its' own custom built trailer and R/C tow car (specially built for it) as well. Also has a sliding hatch and tinted windows (car tint on PETG)

    Steady on Colin, my hat's getting a bit tight now😂. Nowhere near as flash as some of the great models on the site, but another thing I've been wanting to make for a while, (along with the previous HSL and ST, - nostalgia thing from the younger days). Still more development in the propulsion area to be done, (more speed required), so will post any improvements if they happen. Still waiting for better couplings to arrive to try other motors.
