About this boat
NB some of the stats above such as run time, max amps, speed, are estimated. The actual finished weight was 727grams,.
This boat was recently finished and maidened on Christmas day on our new back yard pond. Since then I have added some LED navigation lights and cabin lighting. I'm very pleased with the result and would thoroughly recommend Glynn Guests designs for small pond models. They are simple and relatively cheap to build, yet with a little effort can emerge with plenty of character.
Due to the success of this one, I intend to build a couple more of his small designs, as well as a couple of Hal Harrisons, so watch this space.
Full details of this build are on this website in the build blog section.

Forgive my original estimate for the run time, Roy - I had only run it for perhaps 15-20 mins initially, so it was just an initial throwaway guess-timate, but you are correct; the battery is actually a 5-cell 2400mAh Nimh RX pack, and the speeds shown in the video were generally between 1 and 3 clicks of the throttle only, giving a good range of scalish speed. I have adjusted the run time comment to the maximum 1+hours, probably a more realistic estimate.
There is on bit on the video where I show full throttle and the boat does just about plane in a very un-tuglike manner, and this is after the ballast was added. If you read the build blog, I have mentioned a bit where I tried her out without ballast at the start, and found I had a speedboat!😆😉
I have yet to finish off the build blog as I have some photos of the lighting fittings etc to add, plus I hope to do an evening/twilight sail with the lights on and video it.
Best rgds to all,
Nick
Well done, Nick.
I run similar sized models all afternoon on a 2800mAh battery.
Looks neat and from a distance acceptable. I have a couple of GG's models and with just a tiny upgrade they look very good.
