Don't think Aerokits did any "Waves" Pro Roadrunner (Apart from waving goodbye). Yeoman did a "Wavemaster" though. 34" long, 11" beam and 4" freeboard. Fore and aft cabins with a centre cockpit, typical "Broads" cruiser.

  Regards  Ian.

The company Nor Star did the following.

wave crest at 24" long
Wave rider at 28" long
Wave Princess at 34" long

though it was areo kits but it was Nor Star

reason i got it mixed was that its was a similar build construction as a Aerokit model

Hi I still have a boat identical to the one in the picture posted by HS93   I build it some 45 years ago, memory allowing I think it was a Vernon kit, and it is Waverider. It is used now to 'play' with different motors sice it has good access to the working bits

I have a Wave Princess sat in a cupboard.  It was purchased around 1971 and it has only been in water twice.  I lost interest in it because I was never able to get the engine, an Enya, to start, in fact the engine has never run since it came out of the box!  I think I may have a Waltron rc system that was intended to be used with the boat too.

Hello Elberry Cove.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your stay with us.

It would be advantageous to put you location  (the nearest Town will do)  into your profile, then folks will get an idea of where you are.

This will help in case they want to post anything to you.

Cheers

I've got an Osprey, it is just sitting on a shelf in the cellar, it has everything in it to run, but really needs sprayrails to get it to plane properly. Built it for my son when he was 8, now he is 41 !! No interest then and less now!
