Got a new four blade chopper today........
A lifting prop made by ABC. A gas hydro is in the works so may as well get a prop or two for it.

This is all the props in the box.
A collection thats been added to to and taken away. Buy a new one, make a few changes, test it, mod it a little more, sell it and buy more. A never ending cycle.
If you look closely you'll see a few that are for 11cc stuff from back in my rigger days like Vector Pat has. A few some for the 3.5, 7.5 &... Some still new in package. Most of the good stuff for the nitro's is gone but all it takes is a couple of hours to get it sharpened and balanced.
Think theres 5 of the same prop but in various shapes and each performs differently on the same hull. Just part of the fun.Last edited by Doubledog; 01-30-2004 at 04:01 PM.

You mean this one?
Not mine and nor do I wish it was. One Nitro headache is enough for me. I've moved on to gas
Yeah, Duck has the Shiznick! Quickdraw 35 isn't it? Damn sweet. Told the wife that I want a Cat next. Looks like its going to mean getting a second job or picking up a few cans on the side of the road for a while. LMAO.
Btw, I've got a new 260 getting modded that going to put me over 6 hp. problem is, don't have a hull for it.Last edited by Doubledog; 01-30-2004 at 03:41 PM.

That one with quads must be a beast to maintain, and keep running. I bet some of these boats cost as much or more then my real boat

This is my newest one. Actually, I like the design so much I bought two of them. Exact same all for the color. Ones white and the others yellow.
However, ones getting a bigger engine & have a guy building a cowl for it. The white hull will also be getting a different header pipe to pull all the exhaust inside and dress it up.

Missinglink... what kind of chee$e you talking about spending?
You can get a basic gas boat like mine for $700-800 new. Thats what I paid for the white boat. Nothing fancy, no frills, just gas and go & get 40 mph. Then I bought the yellow rig used and paid less than half of that with the radio! The boat didn't have a scratch on it and runs just like new. I like the medium sized boats in the 48"- 60" range.
Electrics are a ball too.
Check out the links and email me through the site if you need anything.
