    Wasn't too bad Martin, as all the others were deep v racers with much larger engines. Mine looked a bit out of place, but the old OS .30 marine was reliable and economical, still have it today, - totally Knackered as it was swapped between planes and boats up till about 8 yrs ago (changed marine head for std head when using in planes.) Was my first ic engine bought in 1968. Still have a bunch of motors stored as all planes were converted to Electric.

    Yes JB,
    I remember those days.
    And as for coming 3rd I bet you were extremely happy that day.

    True Martin, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it now!😂 , mind you you couldn't do a lot with 27Mhz, no fancy ESCs, brushless motors, compact powerful batteries (LiPos) etc. Electric stuff was second to IC in those days. I entered this boat in an offshore 1hr powerboat endurance race and came 3rd out of around 12 boats (mostly IC and Gas boats,-won by a big gas racer) and only had to come in and fill up twice. Most of the other boats dropped out.

    Hi JB,
    Nice job.
    Looking at this model you can certainly see how models have changed over the years.
