    That is Definitley "Wild Boys Racing" right there. We need one of those for next summer at portage. It most definitly would HAVE to have the little Characters on board. Then when the racing is done, we can replace them with a little Italian Ken and Barbie Doll for a pleasure version. Heres some more WBR material for you Todd.

    I have had mine for the last 4 or so years now and love it. It has a 26 CC Weedwacker engine in it....it has been flipped, spun out many times and still is in one piece. It excels in rough water!

    My RC boat is roughly 50" long....I have always wanted to take it down to boaters beach and run it....but it would be a pain in the a** to transport in the boat etc.

    My buddy has a 55" Dumas Scarab. Its basically a old flatdeck miami vice scarab. Super cool boat. No engine as of yet though, just a hull.

    This place has some nice units.

    Those things are cool. These toys are expensive. Some of the big RC boats, have several thousand put into them. I dont think my kid would be playing with one of those until he or she was at least 16. My first car didnt cost that much lol

    Thanks buddy! Hatches really not finished, but we slapped them on for fitment, then decided to run it anyhow. They will look much better when finished. Ryan really outdid himself once again with his carpentry skills. Only thing I did was lots of Sanding.

    As for the shirts, they were provided by one of our sponsers, "young performance marine". Lol

    Had one now for about 9 years. Custom built this one, it's 50" long. Bought the hull from one shop, the running gear from another, and the engine from a 3rd. Started with just a 26" Homelite motor, and actually got board running around at full throttle. Put this Genoa 26cc slightly mod motor in and now run in the mid 40's (I put a hand held gps in it once). havn't really dialed it in though perfect.
    Throws a huge rooster tail, turns tighter than an ant on the run, and handles ruff well.

    Thought I'd use it at Hammond, but as SC288 says, a pita to haul around, even though only need a small gas can and remote. And maintenance -I've changed drive shafts 2x and strut bearings 3x, with few hours on it.

    Yup that's a real polished SS prop too, and liquid cooled exhaust. The scoops look cool, but unfortunately no blower whine emits from them....
