BBY Central RC Marine 53 build

Looks good. Where did you put the cg?

I had it at 25% and I am moving it forward to above the center break in sponson. I will measure after I get to the shop. I really like the boat and need to get another one to have for stock. I also put some negitive in the struts.

The difference is before the accident and after the repair. fresh air holes. Rick does not race after the last accident. He retired. The Blown Big Blocks are brand new and under warranty. Story below.

As if RC boating wasn't already a money pit, I can't imagine the cost of scale boating. The rebuilt boat looks awesome.

Usually about 32% or so depending on power measured from bottom forward. Sticks pretty good once cg is set

Not to get off topic in this thread but if it looks anything like a scale one, you got a winner in the works!

Here is a preview drawing. Cnc cut hatch and Cnc cut wood built up hull

I have a lot of power..... 32% is 16.64 inches I had it at 18.5 inches and now it is at 20.5 inches all from the transom of the boat.

I built something like that in the Scat Cat 26


You or some one called me about building a boat for me to sell years ago. at that time the power verses cost was not there. Now we have more fordable RC cost.

There is always some richer than you/me and always some one poorer than you or me. It is just the way it is. I try to enjoy my self no matter what. I think we all do the best we can. I have been trying to get Rick to buy this boat for 2 years.

Holy Crap Randy, for what your friend spent rerigging that thing twice he could have put a pair of T-55 turbines in it! None the less it's a beautiful boat and one of a kind.

Starting to fill the seam for painting. The boat is very clean over all I have not found any bad spots yet that are unexpected.

That is a very good looking cat. Can't wait to see her painted.

Ya the more I work on it the more I like the design. Looking at the design makes me want to do something in the 48 inch size to run as a gas set up in.

[RandyatBBY]

Progress is coming along great, I did a lot of filling and spot puddy to get ready to paint the boat.

[RandyatBBY]

this boat is the biggest I can paint in this spray booth. The booth is 56 inches X 55 inches and the boat is 53.75 over all. I had to have it set just right to turn and not touch the wall when on the lazy Susan. Oh the base white is on the boat now. I will be laying out the graphics today.

That makes for tight quarters Randy. But at least you have a nice booth.

I have been asked to do larger now that my new garage is done I have a 10X14 foot room that I could convert for the big HPR.
