Hi Boatshed , Yes all MFA seem great boats . As for the Spearfish I have a Thumper Overlander in mine 2nd hand and cheap . if you want the wow factor in yours look to fit a Leopard brushless in runner as the result is fantastic . Look it up on YouTube couple of films of one ripping round a pond 👍

These 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%uDC4D

This film was taken on our home lake at Needham Market . Originally an I.C powered boat I have converted to single brushless motor on a direct drive 48mm prop , single rudder . Powered by 2*5000mah 4 cell lipos . As you can see I am very pleased with its performance . 😎

What a great bit of luck ! . I have an Overlander Thumper brushless running on a 4 cell lipo in my Spearfish, give's me an hour of skipping round the pond . if you want it to be a missile though I have seen Leopards motors fitted in them . Have a look at my Harbour pics . Also check out Youtube for inspiration . Happy Boating 👍

This is my M.F.A Tracker . When originally purchased it had the large and heavy 850 motors in it and old electronics , after a close call with a fire on board I decided to refit her out with modern Brushless motors and over rated Escs powered by Lipo's . Works out a 1/3 rd the weight 3 times the speed and run time over an hour . So a great result
Oh yes , sound effects donated by nearby Tug 😊

Great little boat for blowing the cobwebs out 😊 would score it a 10 but takes a bit to control on steering (Motor: Water cooled 2815 Outrunner brushless motor) (ESC: 50A water cooled brushless ESC w/BEC) (9/10)

Maybe a little more bow weight would stop the problem , my Spearfish used to do that all I did was put lipo length ways and it stopped , but yeah if your happy with the bigger being the faster then go for it 😊
