This is my last build of the year. I have 90 days untill my son is born & everying thing I'm running this year has to be done before that. All my parts are in transit. This is going to be a 2s-2p boat. Powered by a set of X-power 380 6turn XL's @ 3860kv (28x68mm). I opted for small 70amp aircraft esc's. A set of proboat outdrives will be placed behind the tunnel. I found some other neet stuff that will be pictured later. The hull was provided by Diegoboy and the hatch & hull clean up was done by Mich Maniac. I will have pictures later on today. I will start the drive line when my OSE order arives this comming week. I am going to attempt to have fun with this one. Wish me luck.

I'm sorry Mike. All the recent events in my life have forced me to shuffle projects around. I still have unfinished projects sitting on the shelf that have been waiting for a year or more.Originally posted by Mich. Maniac View Post

Bangka Boat
The H&M M1 supercat S
...and of course the Mini-V for Ira
Tom also traded me parts to get the M1 closer to completion too.
I told Tom that I felt like a heel for trading the M5
Sorry again Mike"A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough."

Thanks for your faith in my ability Sir
. I am now on day 5 of walking by my desk, pausing, looking @ the Rio, shaking my head and heading back out to this infernal machine. 82 days and counting and I have JACK done.

First pictures.
I did a quicky windshield for the pictures. The final product will have the twin canopy hatch. Nothing wrong with this one Strictly preference. She's a clean slate just waiting for a bunch of holes.

It's the Blackjack BL hull with a custom hatch. The stuffing tube hole and trasnsom holes have been filled in. She is SWEET!"A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough."

the hatch is all wrong for that hull Tom is smart to change it, no offense to who ever spent the time to make it.The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

he hull is based on a skater and that hatch is based on an mti. it's just not a match. The craftsmanship looks nice it just doesn't mate with that hull wellOriginally posted by Mich.
