Default Some fun I am having over hur.....Anyone got one??

Well as some of yall know I moved into a lakehouse kinda deal. I just went out and bought a gasoline boat about 5 ft long. Its got a highly modified weed wacker motor in it and was last GPS'd at 51 and change, capable of getting into the high 50s with some fine tuning. She throws a wickid rooster tail when she gets up in the throttle!! Was wondering if anyone else has got these and would like to set up a race!! LOL.... I can put markers out in the lake and shit. The only problem is I think this might be alil tooo big for this lake and might need to downsize some and sell her off...Anyways if anyone has one post some pics of you RC gasoline boats!!


These are the only pics I got as of now...

Back in the day I used to race RC boats. Mostly they were standoff hydros like the one John has above. Had a hell of a good time. Those hydros and the outriggers haul some mortal ass. I used to invite friends to the lake and had them bring their RC airplanes. The were crushed when the boat would beat them in a race. I even used to build and sell several fiberglass RC boats. One of my .20 powered jobs was .2 sec off the world record back then...of course, it wasn't me driving it. I've been kicking around the idea of getting back into RC lately. Either Boats or Airplanes, don't know yet.
