1972 Rc Challenger Boat: Outboard setup

[151tdawg]

where did you get the motor i want it

[jtskid]

Are those fuel lines coming out of the back of the engine?

[buffmanmarc]

@jtskid

Yes, but they are used to direct cooling water in this case.

how did u get the engine trim

[mercdoc96]

the same guy that made the boat, in lake Havasu. I've seen it in person. If im not mistaken thats a 2.5 cowl.

[Bigdog1496]

Heyy mate great boat!! Where did u get the engine cover from??

[Joshash21]

AWESOME BOAT!

[mercdoc96]

Just checkin but, Who exactly made that cowling???

[buffmanmarc]

@uptoUrc, The hull is a custom scale build, 24" long 9.5" wide. This can be done in 1/8 scale with any boat you'd tow on a trailer. I choose the challenger because i think it the most fun boat to drive.

Love the motor, please tell me what brand it is, and did you make that merc cowling yourself?

[buffmanmarc]

@dr8378

The motor is an Aquacraft EP-1. Yes i did make the cowl.

[mercdoc96]

@buffmanmarc Wait just checkin, but who made that cowling??? could've sworn one of my customers hand made it from scratch, or at least thats what he told me.

[buffmanmarc]

@mercdoc96 ,

If your customer is not in any of my vids then it's a different cowling. Based on the most polular outboard of all time, the merc 150, it wouldn't surprise me that other people have made custom cowls as well.

[buffmanmarc]

@zaca109
