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.

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.

I have my twin Lipo batteries mounted under the stern deck. If you look at the original boats all the motor pumps, etc are at the stern of the boat.

This is the plans for the 46" model.
The boat requires weight in the stern, like the batteries.

Hi All
I have two positions for the battery. One is about under the
wheelhouse floor and the other is far more to the stern.
The forward setup makes the bow dig in on the turns.
The stern mount has as in the pictures has the bow sitting up high, but the boats spot on.

Hi All
Oh, boy, I cut a section of 25mm x 470mm long off the keel which left about 5mm below the prop shaft.
Well, well, well, the Jotika( yes it's a Jotika) Sea Commander handles double fiqure eights at half speed.
Like on rails !!!
So that's dusted off my handling problems.
So back to the Spearfish Police boat.

Hi Lads
As I sold my kopy Kommander which handled very well.
On test my SLEC one I found it very sentive in the steering, so checking in my pictures I found the Kopy had only the triangle support between the prop shaft and the hull. So I cut off the keel down to about 5mm at the prop end but still leaving a bit of the keel. So it's all painted up for Saturday for testing.

Hi
That's my old Sea Scout and The Sea rover has no keel only a wedge between the prop shaft and the hull.
That Incat is 1200mm x 500mm running old Graupner jet drives but with 35mm 750kv brushless which is about scale speed, but we may test it on 4S lipos which will add 3000rpm!!!

Hi Dave
I have a MFA Spearfish which is the best boat of the classic boats. Handles and turns very well. 35mm 1450kv brushless on 4S with a 120Amp Surpass ESC running a CNC 2 blade prop. we clocked it a 37kph. I am getting close to finishing the police version. Plus I have an unstarted no hole hull only.

What a silly question !!!
Yes I have a SLEC one.
The Kopy Kommander which I sold which handled better.
The SLEC one has no prop offset and a screw on 3 blade plastic prop.
Many have a few 2 blade props to see if changes the flightly handling the boat has !!!
I have cut the rudder movement down to about 10 degrees each way and I am still not happy with it.

Hi Lads
I had the Sea Rover out for it's sea trials today. PREFECT !!!
The 3s lipo battery sat across the boat 30mm forward of the second last frame.
Turning each way was close to the same with chine only rails, the boat was up on the plane at quarter throttle. At half speed with a bit of bow up, but at full speed(well over scale speed) sat back to running level. No retrimming the rudder.
