HI Zooma
I am about to restart working on one of the MFA Spearfish.
I have the motor, drive line ,rudder and rudder servo installed.
So next is to add the deck.
A bit more work space in the Mark 2 model.
I also started on making a full piece windscreen.
My Aerokits Sea Rover is handling and running very well.
The 4mm square chin rails working great.
I installed some on my 1949 Chris Craft which really improved the boat.
I am down to only two other finished boats.
The Sea Queen and the Sprite kit.
Would like a Sportsman if you can find me one.
Cheers and Beers

Hi All
I made this recovery system up a few years ago to fit a number of boats. PVC electrical pipe with pool tubes.
The forward sections are removal via two pins for transport.
The first day we recovered two boats after a test on another boat.
We added the black piece for more protection between boats.

HI Stephen
With brushed motors you can run both motors on one ESC.
Depending on the motors you may require a 40 Amp ESC.

Hi All my warm winter fellows.
After three years I finally finished my Spear ready for it's first water test. Turnigy 3548-1450kv, 120Amp Surpass ESC, 4S Nano- Tech Lipo battery and a CNC 2 blade prop.
I still have a Spearfish Mk2 to start and a hull only to dream up a top for!!!

Hi Lads
A bit of update on the 1964 Chris Craft which has changed from the original design look. The plan is to start with a 3S Lipo on a C3542-1450kv and maybe up to a 4S later!!!

Nice maiden voyage, good turn of speed.
A bit light on the bow,but weight shift will fix that.
Our little club 500 is in trim back speed mode for our youngest member who is a bit of a speed devil.
As she is female it has a lot of pink on it !!!

Hi Zooma
All those motors rev high and even more powerful than the 1450 !!!!
You may have to make some speedway sprint wings to keep the boat on the water.
I would try the 1450 on 2S is only about 10,000 rpm and this will cut the power and torque of the motor down.
I think the 1580 motor would be OK in the 37 Swordsman.
Harry🤞

Hi Zooma
The 3548-1450 is a beast of a motor and are not made any more.
I am using the Surpass Hobby 3542-1450 kv which is rated at 1050 Watts on 4S.
I have one in the Sea Rover but only on 3S and a 42 mm 2 blade prop.
I have a pair of 3542-1250 kv in my Pro Boat PT 109 on 2S because on 3S it was too dam fast .
The props 3blade 37mm.

Hi Me Lads
Well the Club 500 and Sea Scout were two of the boats I sold to a club member.
Does a Dumas Kit No.1255, Chris Craft racing boat(1964 year) class in the classic section ??
As I just bought one 90% finished with 6 channel 2.4G radio, brushless 3542-1450kv. 60 Amp ESC.
Only to finish adding the fittings ,interior and maybe the funny wing things on the sides which are missing.

The Sea Scout and club 500 when for a run up to the bridge.

Hi All
I checked the plans of the Sea Rover and it has the same large keel as the Sea Commander. Mine Sea Rover keel was very poor state, so I cut it off and added a 4x4 mm strip from bow to the prop tube. Only a small triangle piece of plywood from the prop tube to the prop.
The boat handles like a dream!!!

Hi Zooma
My 46" crash Tender has a 420 kv brushless on 6 S and a 2 blade 52 mm prop. RPM about 10000 !!! So I have a 5055-700 kv brushless and on 4S about 10360 rpm. So that's my base start. As for spray rails I am not planning on adding them, but chine rails, yes.

Hi Zooma
I checked the plans and the keel is far less than Sea Commander. So the modified Commander keel on my boat is about the same standard on the Sea Queen.
Ordered the whole 5 mm drive plus a 50 mm 3 blade and a 52 mm 2 blade prop. I removed the decks, saved the side ones. The bow deck is getting replaced. I think I can save the fixed forward cabin roof and the forward cabin roof.The stern roof section can be saved also. I have re-glued all the hull and removed the nails. Next is installing stringers to the two stern section to stop drumming from the thin plywood skins.
