Title: Lynx 47 (Delta Force) 26cc Petrol (Gas) powered mono boat
Post by: Craig Dickson on July 29, 2011, 07:22:03 pm

Hi folks
Being a lover of the IC power plants, my second running boat (other than my Huntsman 31) is my Lynx that I built. I wonder if any other members have them or the similar Delta Force boat? If so what do you think of them? Mine is powered by a stock Zen260PUM engine:
Here are a few still images:

Here is a short clip of two of them head to head. Mine is the boat doing the chasing!

Nice boat Craig. I wouldn't be surprised if the circuit racing lads around Elmbridge have some of them.  Only slight modification (side addition to = 50mm and exhaust cover) and you could race them with BMPRS!  Looking at the speed though, they might win too much :-)
That's a nice looking lake.  Where is it ... Lincoln?
Cheers

Thanks for your reply Danny.

The lake is Carnaby near Bridlington, owned by the Brid model boat society.

Cheers
Craig

similar Delta Force boat

It isn't similar at all, it IS a DF boat.

Dave's removed it now, but if you went on his site before and highlighted the text in the description, the word 'Deltaforce' appeared.......

I give you 10 out of 10 for the decals and paint job. Fantastic looking. :-))

Whether my Lynx is in fact the same as a DF is really not that important to me. What ever it may be called, it is a great boat.

Cheers
Craig
