A recent evening at the local center pond ...
I got there late, but a few boats were still out on the water.
Video was taken by a friend from the deck of his Shelley Foss Tug.

Kraken & GPL 1000 at Mayhem 2022
Kraken, with a 29cc Tiger King engine, and a GPL 1000 with an OS21 on a gearbox on the lake... at the same time! Is that sensible? Mayhem 2022

Straight running at Mayhem 2022
Who would have thought running a boat with no RC would be so much fun? Some 'straight runners' at Mayhem 2022

    Thanks for the video. A some fine collection of boats on the water. The rowboats have to be an extremely difficult build.

    Some photos of how I have laid out the various components in the compartments. I have my Lipo battery mounted laterally against the bulkhead in the cabin at the rear of wheelhouse (battery not shown). The battery is placed between the water-cooled ESC and the bulkhead. They are held in place with velcro as well as the extra battery box and RX box. I'm using a 3 bladed prop with a pro drive 35-42 brushless motor with a Viper 50amp water cooled ESC. The battery is a 3 cell 2200mah 11.1v Overlander battery. The RX is held in foam in an old business card plastic case along with a electronic switch to switch on the spotlight. In the aft compartment with the rudder is a 6v AAA battery box for the searchlight. When not in use, I keep the lipo battery in a fire proof bag inside a metal petty cash box for safety!😊

My new (to me) Shelley Foss came today!
Yes, I realize it needs some TLC. But then, all the boats in my "Harbor of Misfit Toys" came to me that way. I think it has potential :-) 🙄
