45" long fiberglass hulls and wood, 11cc glow fuel outboard and a 27cc gasoline inboard. The outboard goes around 50mph the inboard around 60mph, very fun and loud.

 

I've seen a couple people w/ these along the Atlantic coast (where I live) - very, very fast.

 

Finished another one. The 7.5cc nitro engine fired up instantly and ran lovely, producing a wonderful aroma of burning methanol, nitro methane and castor oil. The battery used for the starter came from my '70 Cutlass.

 

Always loved that aroma when flying U-control model planes in the '50s.

 

Still have the scars from when the KB 035 with the speed prop used to kick back and bite me. Had a Ringmaster that went pretty well with that on it

 

All my outboards are K&B, they're nice running engines.

 

Local Gentleman, KYLE has his fathers boats and motors.... He recently offered to sell me some or ALL. sorely tempted...LoL COOL STUFF INDEED

Pics are of the last boat he built with his "DAD" sadly he passed away 10 years ago..

 

Nice, that's a 3.5 which was my first outboard I ran year's ago. I still have it, I'm in the process of building another boat for it. Wood models thake a lot of time. Buy it just for display. Fuel is expensive, one 16 oz tank full costs as much as a 16 oz glass of Guinness at the pub.
