Hi.
For the first Im frome sweden so my spelling in english is not the best but i hope you understand :)

First a little background. After my brother and I ower took ower our fathers old RC boat we decided that we gone get this great looking boad run well.
When my father build the boad in the late 70's it was a chain saw engine in it. It did not ever worked good so my brother and I have done some small changes to try to improve it but it din't work.
The hull is made frome a in 1970-1980 famous swedish RC boat builder and its called princess.

So now we desided to totaly rebiuld it. We have take all the old pats in the hull away, and have now started to rebuild it.

Gone try to update this as the build goes on.

Here is the boad last summer. Dit not had much of speed.


Rudders and outdrive is in place. The rails is made just gone be glued in the hull.
Here are some mixed befor pics
