About this boat
Just purchased from a guy who brought it to do up and didn't get a round tuit. First job was to sort out the dorsal fin as it was carved from polystyrene and needed a covering. So out come my paper mache skills last used about 40 years ago in infant school. The motor and rudder servo were fitted so no problem fitting a esc and rc but am now awaiting a servo linkage to make the tail (rudder) work. Untried in the water yet as sorting out the paintwork first. Got to match body to dorsal fin hatch now.

You will still need to keep the weight down low in you'r Shark.
Also if you have the room you could always put the electrics in a small resealable sandwich box to stop it getting wet.

That was not good, maybe it will be worth trying to put some extra floatation foam in just incase something similar happens again.

Jaws was bombing around with the others having a good time as we awaited the judge coming to the water. One of the lateral fins hit the pontoon and was dislodged causing a major leak. I recovered the shark and emptied it, gave it a quick test then put it back in as the judge arrived. Jaws shot off then stopped. Unpowered and filling up it was nudged by another vessel which knocked the dorsal fin off. The good news the dorsal fin floats and looked quite good on the water, the bad news was shark was filling up rather quickly. I borrowed a rowing boat and got back to the scene as the shark was rescued by some other vessels and pulled onto the jetty. The inside was totally awash and I was lucky it didn't go down.
I dried all the electrics and am pleased to say the only things destroyed were a servo and my pride.
The fin has been replaced and lots of glue has been used inside and out to avoid the same happening again.

The majority of the shark is above surface so won't dive but is just a funny boat really. The maker builds planes I'm told so the inside resembles a plane body.
I like it!
Have you seen my steampunk Pike and Evolution ?
