I salvaged this boat from a damaged Diesel powered vesel which had been neglected for some time. The original was constructed from an Aerokits 42" Huntsman kit.

The reconstruction included redecking, rebuilding the cockpit area, lightening the interior structure and re-aligning the prop shaft for a shallower angle of attack. Various new parts were built and the structure lightened to improve overall performance.

The drive system for the new build is a water cooled Graupner 700 turbo 9.6 volt motor driving the realigned propshaft and a plastic 35 SR two bladed carbon reinforced propellor. The batteries are either 2 x 6 cell (14.4V NiMH) or 14.4V Lipo 5000 mAh, the later being faster and of course more expensive.
