a few weeks ago i was given a rc boat, which i had to say looked abit sad for itself. As far as i know it was nitro powered as all the old exhuast and 20 year old home made fuel tank was still onboard.
the boat was bought for me as a present, and a break for me as i am currently building the Smitt Nederland tug from Billings.
well heres some pics: O0 hope you like......

Hi rob ....and welcome...........looks like it started life as a fairy swordsman / huntsman or similar . deep v hulls tend to try to lay over to one side when they start to plane there has been some discussion on here about it recently. For a first attempt at boats it looks like a nice rebuild.
