In addition to a marine engine, you can use any air cooled 3.3-3.5 car or truggy engine, with
excellent results.
The kit is not hard to assemble, as all of the hard stuff has been done for you.
That is no excuse to do a poor job with assembly. The better you build this boat, the better it will
run. Often the difference between an excellent building job and a poor one is a simple sanding
block.
A note about overhangs:
This boat is designed to shear water and prevent any capillary action of water. To do this the
tub, ski and sponsons have rear overhangs. These shear the water off and must be left in place
and not rounded in any way.
The boat also has side overhangs on the sponsons. These help the boat get up on plane
quicker. If you are using a powerful engine, you can sand these off, but leave all corners sharp.
Take the time to read this entire manual, so that you are familiar with all the buildings steps and
their proper order. Take your time; make sure you understand everything before you do it and
you will be rewarded with an impressive running hull…
This kit is not a toy. Although R/C boating is a fun and rewarding hobby, it can be dangerous
if not done with common sense and safety in mind. Just about anyone should be able to
build this kit, but it should not be operated by children without close adult supervision.
