- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi Ned, Welcome aboard 👍Hi Ned, Welcome aboard 👍 On my Sea Scout (little brother of the Sea Queen) I used silicon sealant (a la bathroom!) and a small brass screw in each corner. it had to be good cos I had the RX, RX battery and rudder servo tucked in there! My boat was also started by Dad in the sixties. He had it free running with a Taycol Target and wet (very!) 6V lead acid cells. I upgraded to RC and Decaperm motor about 25 years ago and am currently restoring and converting to brushless 😲 Happy boating, Cheers Doug 😎[{"id":"1508163041","name":"1508163041.jpg","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/model-boats.com\/media\/1508163041\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/model-boats.com\/media\/1508163041\/s","isImage":true,"ext":"jpg"},{"id":"1501075700","name":"1501075700.jpg","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/model-boats.com\/media\/1501075700\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/model-boats.com\/media\/1501075700\/s","isImage":true,"ext":"jpg"}]

Happy boating, Cheers Doug 😎Liked by Brucef102 - BOATSHEDCaptainWow great bit of video, she performs very well on the water and turns seem to be very stable. Nice one. I have a Sea Queen I have got to renovate. What motor are you running in her please.Wow great bit of video, she performs very well on the water and turns seem to be very stable. Nice one.

Currently powered by 2 x 480 brushed on 11.1v, both motors independently controlled by 2 ESC but soon to be refitted with 2x 1000KV brushless.
Planes beautifully and with twin rudders turns on a sixpence!
- boatyChief Petty Officer 2nd ClassThat's an excellent running time for a fast model.That's an excellent running time for a fast model. 😀 It gives a great indication of what can be achieved with brushless motors., I'll have to try brushless motors in some of my fast scale boats. I only have one brushless powered model at present, this being the Proboat Blackjack 29 fast electric. Boaty

Powered by a 1000kv brushless on 11.1v, its quick across the water and very stable.
I sail with the Potteries MBC in Stoke.

- jenteckRecruitVery nice model was it a kit or scratch built thank againVery nice model was it a kit or scratch built thank again excellent video also
excellent video alsoLiked by CraigRobotham - CraigRobothamPetty Officer 1st ClassThese are originally an I.C kit 1/6 scale , there is a company in Germany still making them believe they are called MHZ. I think I've scene them in 1/8 and 1/35 scale too . Also other builders have used water jet drives on films I've watched . This one is running on brushless motor normal prop and direct drive as all my boats have so far . Keeps the cost of spare parts down %uD83D%uDE0E%uD83D%uDC4DThese are originally an I.C kit 1/6 scale , there is a company in Germany still making them believe they are called MHZ.

- sharpy1071Chief Petty Officer 2nd ClassThank you figtree7nights, up for sale now!! it's stupid on 4 cells, mad on three but behaves very well on two. I sail it mainly on three cells as I have more 3 than anything else.Thank you figtree7nights, up for sale now!! it's stupid on 4 cells, mad on three but behaves very well on two.

I put in a new brushless motor and speed controller runs on 7.2 v batteries
This is modelled from the interceptor42 range by Safehaven Marine. This is my first full build of a model, having only done restorations previously.
Model length is some 42 inch, beam of 12 inch. (106cm x 31cm)
Power is by twin E-Max BL2826 Brushless motors and 1, 80amp speed controller running on 2 NiMH 7.2 volts.
Fitted with Action electronics Police siren, and with detailed rotating blue lights and searchlights.
I sail this at Cold Knap Lake Barry Vale of Glamorgan, and I am the Founding member of the Vale Of Glamorgan Model Boat Club.
Also included is my Portland Pilot interceptor 42 which was the original prototype from Models by Design which I purchased and added lighting etc, this runs on Brushless motor running on 12Volt lead acid.
