    Wow, 2 vintage 80's classics

    Hello everybody :),

    Check out what my pal Rick stumbled onto recently. 2 beautiful 1980's vintage classics............
    The first is a Prather mono with a kos .60 with tuned pipe & adjustable trim tabs out back with a tube type h2o pickup. I love the 80's pastel type pinstripes, they are so miami vice :).

    The next one is a mystery hull, were thinking it may be a miss notre damn but we're not positive. It is however a sleek & slim shovel nose hydro, with a k&b .40 motor pushing a huge Octura prop. its like an x680 or something, & there's some more of that killer 80's pin striping. Gotta love it :). Check out that spoiler, it gives it that top fuelie' look. Originally it was on the mono, but it looks a lot better here.

    I know these are nitro, but i wanted to share them anyway, being beautiful vintage 80's classics. He's currently hand layin' a new cowling for the hydro, if i have my way, i'll add the hydro to my collection. I hope ya'll enjoy .......... :) :) :)

        Nice! I'm pretty big on vintage rc collectables and you're right! The eighties pinstriping looks hot!

            Hi JB, its been a long while since i've seen that hydro, they're nice boats . The Prather mono is l8rg8r's. Rick is shoehorning a chainsaw motor in it . I have the shovelnose now, I am going to repower it with a 700 class Cordite / Astroflight combo on 4s power.

            What do you have kicking around ? ...
