Moonie,
Regardless of what the others are saying, looks like first class workmanship. Really nice looking boat!

I had the same tunnel. I cut out the air dams and put in a defuser. I also put 5 pounds of lead in my boat. I have had it up to 70MPH at the SAW's. I have not ran it in a long time. But this is it. I built it back when we were using Nicads. I loaded it with 36 cells back then.


I have plans to rebuild the bottom and make a big hatch to make it easier to load cells.

Weight counteracts lift, the lower weight of LoPos may work against the OP. Running the prop deep can help reduce lift too. I wonder how the OP knows the boat runs mid-70s just fine when his boat has not yet run, but regardless the hydro looks great, hope it runs to the OP's expectations.

What is the aluminum mount on the deck?

Whoa! What a fine looking hydro. Any boat that's scale and able to do 70+ is a treat Just to see in the water. Loving the bud bro.

It's for the canopy/hatch (old aeromarine e-z Lock to hold down the hatch).

Canopy is done now. I don't know if I want to put sticker on or not...

Thanks I was hoping to inspire you. I love real scale boats I have several.

Yeah man you did I've always had a thing for bud hydros. I've been looking for a 1/8 Lauterback.

Beautiful job!!! Definitely a lot of surface area, and wide transom, but the walls of the tunnel don't look that deep to me. Maybe it doesn't trap as much air as we think. Looking forward to the video.

Beautiful job on the restoration Moonie.
