Hi all has anybody got a plan for a boat trailer or where I can get one from. I have had a look on on the net. There are a couple of ready made ones but l would like to have a go at making my own.

TRAILER FOR AQUA RAMA RIVA

Well, cheers chaps thanks for the replies the build is about half way through, not looking forward to the finishing coats of varnish it looks like a mammoth task just ordered up lots of sheets of very fine wet and dry = 3000 to 7000. just hope i have the the energy to keep rubbing . not 16 any more.👍

TRAILER FOR AQUA RAMA

Hi lads i notice that some of us are having a bit of a problem carrying our boats to and from our means of transport to our lakes / ponds a couple of the more senior chaps at our club have taken to using the four wheel garden trolleys. i know they are rather large but you can fit a whole load of gear on them. our chaps seem to favor them for the large tugs they like to build.

Riva Aquarama

you are not wrong my friend fell in love with her at the southern counties model show in 2018 a chap had the great big one but just as a static model she looked as if you could swim in the clear coats of varnish. Mines the 85 cm version little sister but just as beautiful.
been on line quite a bit now researching the power system a lot of peeps are warning you off the amati set up (cheap and nasty was one discription) not strong enough very bad vibration through the motors to propshaft connections. I will copy the amati kit but beef up all the components.
anyways thank you for you time and effort Jimmy.

riva aquarama

Hi all dived into youtube on the control of two speed controllers. found some good tutorials on how to programme my transmitter to enable the use of both gimbal sticks to control both motors to one stick. ( throttle). then to control each motor on the other stick individually to be able to help the rudders turn the boat.

Jim.
