Thanks for the info. I think I'll go to Orlando this weekend and see what its all about. I have only seen the r/c boats run once, it looked like a lot offun. I can be down there in about three hrs or so as you know.
I went to S.C. to run my STV once and it sat on the trailer all weekend because of the weather.

Oh you have a class. You will go into the race boat class with all the other race boats The problem with June for me is thats the month we take our family vacation. I am either getting ready to go on it or just getting back from it the whole month. Who knows it might work out. I would love to come back. I here yall have a fast boat lurking up there!

I'm still playing with the top... I am thinking about hollowing out the inside of the capsule a bit.

Looks great, but I think the proportion of the height deck isn't enough compared to the height of the hull. Just my eye.

Are you saying the deck Is not high enough? There have been some changes for weird stuff like Inboard gas power for one...

[STV_Keith]

Looking at it, I'm thinking the proportion of the profile of the hull is larger than the profile of the deck. Check this picture out for comparison...



To me, it looks like the deck should be as tall from the part line to the top as the hull is from the bottom to the part line. Agree?

Then again, maybe it's just the picture or lighting...but your deck looks shorter than the sponson is tall.

I might sound totally dumb, but was that just a block or wood io is there some special wood that you use to carve something like this? What do you carve it with and how did you get it so perfect? Looking at this thread makes me want to try to make something myself but i have no idea where to start. Any suggestions would be awesome.
