Hi Lewz thanks for the web cam on the Keokuk lock. I am taking rather a long time to build a Dumas kit of American Beauty so fascinated watching the tow boats and their barges.
I have a pair of barges although rather austere and really just boxes. American wood used by Dumas could do with a lot of quality control. I found a great video of full size American Beauty with a large load showing all the detail left out by Dumas. I shall keep your webcam site to watch for a long while now.๐ค๐ค๐ค Cheers Roy ▲

Are they what we used to call "Lash barges"? If so, I didn't know they were still in use.

I occasionally watch live streaming video of Lock 19 at Keokuk Iowa on the Northern Mississippi River. There is a turn just north of the lock, so they (US Army Corps of Engineers) keep a smaller pushboat there to help turn "tows" especially when the wind is up. Also saw the American Bueaty pass- live.

Iโve always liked the shovel nose hydros. I have a couple of โfastโ boats, a Graupner Ecospeed and a little outrigger hydro with a 4000kv brushless motorโฆ.but I really, really want to do a shovel nose, scale and fast(ish).
The Ferrari looks nice. Your friend did a nice job on her. I think her lack of speed is less power than balance. When they are running right hydros are basically skimming the water on the sponsons and the aft end is supported by the lift of the prop, very little hull in the water. Donโt let him give up on her!!

Thanks for the comments which I will share with Adrian. The model has a brushless motor and LiPo but is as you can see still too heavy. The balance is also wrong as evidenced by the sharp angle of attack at speed. I know he intends to continue with modifications so I will post further if and when.

Beautiful model and compliments to your friend for building it. I am ashamed to admit I bought one about 10 years ago and loved it, spent hours admiring it but was never impressed with it on the water and I am afraid like your video looked more like a sub than a hydroplane. I think it is certainly a model which would be at its best with a I/C power unit which is not acceptable these days on most lakes, mores the pity.
This is taking nothing away from the craftmanship employed building a beautiful classic, I wish to this day I had`nt sold mine. Regards ChrisG ▲

I would agree with others, viz. use a smaller prop. When a motor gets hot it normally indicates too high a resistance from the prop, so try a couple of smaller sizes and monitor its performance.
Good luck๐ ▲

Hi good idea, have you been out on the water yet?
I have several 12 -18 volt motors the size of a 550 and run them on 6 -7.2 volts and they will turn over a big prop 45 - 50 mm. This looks good on a cargo ship where you can almost watch the prop turn over. They do not get hot and have a low current drain. Bonus is they are often cheap! Also I can use slightly cheaper NiMh batteries of about 3300mAhs. I have a few Pittman motors originally scrounged out of computer tape decks 40 years ago. They are almost silent and work really well. I always check for hot batteries or motors as I do not want current diverted from the motor to heating up the drive train. Following a friend I have also found a cheap and effective and silent U/J. It is plastic flexible tubing about 3/8ths inch diameter in less than 2 inch lengths. You can use it in place of the Huco U/J, keeping the brass inserts on which it is a tight fit. Or if you have a threaded shaft a largish pair of nuts locked together with the tubing forced over them. They need to be in a straight line and a few fast forward and reverses settles the tubing into position. The drive is silent and efficient and good for up to 20 watts or so. regards Roy ▲

Ronald, the prop is actually 1-3/4" ... in the photo you hav indexed the left blade to the end of your ruler, not the "0" point on the ruler. My 33" PT109 calls for a single 1" plastic prop to reach scale speed. I think you need a smaller diameter & much less pitch to alleviate your motor heating issue. Heatsinking, & watercooling or a fan will not fix your issue.

Hi if the Graupner 400 is anything like the MFA 380 then it is a 40 watt motor. Rather a lot of power for your dory. I would guess that when you use your throttle that from half throttle to full throttle there is not a lot of difference in speed.
I have suspended experiments with a similar motor in a 16 inch Huntsman as it just tries to climb up a wall of water. Not sure if it is weight balance or what. As you surmised originally, a smaller prop and I note the motor has a 6volt marking and 7.2 volts is 20% over voltage. I agree reduce the load and you will get a much longer run-time as well. Good luck. Roy ▲

Hi as far as your hot motor goes there is a rule of thumb if you can measure the stall current of the motor. It is very likely that the most efficient speed of the motor is just 20% of this figure. The motor should then run cool.
I expect you are right, the prop is too large or the pitch too great all this would increase the load on the motor. Also as there would be less heating of the motor, the current flow doing the heating would be directed out of the back of the boat where it belongs. Hope I am not teaching grandma to suck eggs! regards Roy ▲

When I built the Wianno Senior in 2018, Bill and Sam Lawrence both members of the Wianno Senior Association sailing out of Bass River, Massachusetts, answered many of my questions throughout the project.
Bill and his wife Ellie are seen here sitting on the gunwales of their Wianno. Bill explained that the boat will not capsize, the designer offered, in 1909, a sum of $1,000 to anyone who was able to capsize the boat and the money was never awarded. Bill said its because, as the boat heels over, the wind will spill from the sails before it will capsize. Doyle Sails provided me with their lightest sailcloth to use on the model too. Doyle makes sails for the Wianno Senior and were pleased to assist me. Crosby Yachts also gave comments along the way. ▲

Oh my, what a wonderful finish you have achieved ! And such attention to detail.
One thing puzzles me, and that is that this is for your son "to have on his house." Is the model to be mounted somewhere on display ?? Indoors ? Outside ? ๐ ▲

1:16 scale. Beautiful model, excellent workmanship. Attention to details. I can't do it, but your craft is something to strive for.

The original photo looks like the boat has a bowsprit but is just a rope with bumpers attached.
