I've had these boats for quite a while, but really haven't played with them and will be moving before too long here, so I'm thinking about selling them. Problem is that I don't know much about them or what they're worth. One is a hydro with a Zenoah engine, not sure what size. It ran several years ago. Needs some TLC tho. No radio either. The other is a cool little boat with a 3.5 K&B. I started it once about 5 years ago, but that's it. Never even had it on the water. Odd thing about this motor is it doesn't have the pressure port from the exhaust to go to the fuel tank. It has an old Futaba radio and seems to work fine. Just curious some opinions on these from those that know. I appreciate any help. And I know this isn't the buy and sell, but if somebody had any interest in these or know of someone that does, shoot me a pm. I'd rather see them go to somebody that will appreciate and have fun with them. Thanks,

Brian

head over to JimsRCBoatDock and become a member as they're a gas oriented site. For the nitro, try International Waters RC forum. Tom Foley & serveral others are members here as well.
My take... The gasser will go $3-400 perhaps. The nitro, I'd say around $200.

On a good day.
No offense but its pretty old equipt. , hardware and power are outdated.
Would make for okay sport boats for someone. Imho you would be better served on fleabay than the Jims or IW .

No offense taken! That's why I put the post on here. They definitely are older equipment. Ebay does sound like the best route. I guess I'll put them on there and see what happens. Shipping is gonna be the crappy part on the big one, but oh well, I'll put that in the description. Thanks guys!

Its not too bad - just make sure you build it into the price- the hydro, with a Golf bag box and all the crap will be close to 45-60 bucks, easy.
The tunnel not so bad- 25-40 bucks.

Just got an 1/8th scale hydro shipped from Colorado and in was damn near 100 bucks- boxed RIGHT :rolleyes:
