Project: MMM radioshack boat! lol

Part of the point of the project is to get a laugh or two and have fun building it! I don't normally care too much for buying a good boat hull and screwing in another motor. Plus, I don't have any use for a nice boat, i must drive 15mins to the lake with a ton of trafic or 20mins to a stream big enough to have a lil fun in. otherwise i would use it twice a year when i went down to alabama to visit grandparents. Or actually, we sold their lake property so that wouldn't happen.

not to mention that i can't seem to find a decent boat hull for cheap

Hey no disrespect meant friend.........money is tight right now even for grown ups like me.......all the reason not to trash a $300 brushless combo you acquired somewhere


Good luck with your project man

Techincally it'll be a Trimaran with the two outriggers..

As for a name, how about 'The Turd: its a floater...'

[suicideneil]

Looks like something out of Power Rangers, some sort of speed-boat megazoid...

Thanks guys! and as far as the name, maybe the Stingray power boat?

how about this:


the top will go on the sides and the bottom symbol (from the corvette stingray concept) will go over all the duct tape on the top. I'm going to have to laminate the paper or something

I was wondering what that first pic was... Did you hit the throttle a bit to hard when you put it in the water?

Ya definitely get some strong Loctite on that thing.
