Put it on a DVD player to give you an idea of scale.

In all her unpainted glory, it's quite heavy, nearly 1.400grams...

I'm not up for all out speed so I'm hoping the weight will help it be nice and stable on the water...

p.s. How do you fix the props on, do you glue them or use a lock nut or something, I have one prop going the opposite way, without an oposing thread, pretty sure that it will just fly off without being glued...... :confused:

What boat is it?

WoW with three electros!

Just currious as to how the two outside props/motors would work. Wouldn't the props come out of the water at speed?

The boat is obviously Graupner, but which one? Does it call for three motors? Very interesting & hope to see some action pics.

Well the boat comes with the option to install 3 engines or just the 1 not a guy to ever do things by halves I decided to go for 3....

As far as I'm aware the faster it goes the deeper the backend goes, it was designed for it so I reckon it'd be ok....

I'm still a couple of weeks away from running yet, need to paint and finish, can only really work at weekends.....

It's a Graupner Fiat Uno offshore renboot (powerboat) see link:
