Purpose
The Bullitt Thunderboat was designed based on our popular Rivett and Rockett hulls.
Thunderboats are scale type hydros specifically designed for gasoline power.
The Rivett/Rockett were designed as easy to build kits that are also easy to setup, and very predictable
to drive. They have excellent stability and turning ability, and handle rough water very well.
The secret to their outstanding performance is the modern design features, such as the sponson angle
of attack, non trip and deck crown. All these elements add up to an aerodynamically sound design.
The Bullitt adds several new design elements that make the boat more efficient (faster) and easier to
build.
The Bullitt is also legal in all Thunderboat classes in both IMPBA and NAMBA.
You can build this boat without having the engine or radio, but it does make it easier to have them
available when you build.
You can use any gasoline engine, as long as it has mounts for 5 inch rails.
Please note that this boat was designed for the Zenoah style marine engines.
Other engines may not fit without cutting, and may not fit under the cowling.
