1/4 Scale Tunnel Hull - Catch 10 Replica

**vwfreak** · 01-16-2005, 01:40 AM

As some of you know, I sold my 10ft tunnel hull to Rev. Ronnie this past fall.
Not wanting the boat to be gone forever, I took some detailed measurments, photos, etc... I have drawn up a rough set of plans so far.
With these I have been building a 1/4 scale r/c replica, that I plan to power with a 7.5 K&B nitro outboard (with Merc cowl of course!)
I'll update my pics, as the boat's construction moves along.

Sorry about that Ron. I think they were taken down the other day when S&F was down for a day or two.
I've done some more work since then on it. I'll post some more pictures this weekend.

Amps motors were about 3 mph slower than K&B unless ya got the 11cc , but they look real as hell!

Haven't run a nitro tunnel in near 20 yrs, went to larger hulls and gas engines. Have been thinking on a tunnel with a 2 stroke outboard, likely Zenoah power. How dependable are the cable driven lowers? Are there other options?
