[dragonsquad100]

make a rely big boat like a battle ship

[kezzagannon]

I had one of these and the motor set fire and sunk to the bottom of a lake

[tommybuddy69]

thats sick

[tommybuddy69]

DAMN

[96peanut]

thats pretty cool !

[HelloScottB]

It is cool. Keep in mind, he was in a small space.  So, he couldn't get up to speed. Its a one of a kind boat I guess. The guy that made the hull plug has either passed or is missing in his workshop. Its an incredible model.

[85projectcar]

@HelloScottB I personally like models such as this one when they run at a slower speed. It makes them look much more realistic.

[FreewayColat]

Not fast, but still cool :)

[boombaby183]

O man that would be sweet if it had bowthrusters! Anyways, I want that! Where could I get it?

[HelloScottB]

Gene's boat is a treat to watch run. Bad part is, that its hard to get out often due to transporting it. But, when he does...!

[chriscanxp]

@HelloScottB I am in the process of building a boat from scratch using this video as a guide. I want to build this boat, It looks simply awesome ! I will post some pictures when i get a bit further with it.

[phoenixers123]

do the crane on the boat work?? can you conttrol it????.......

[HelloScottB]

I don't believe so.  But, I've not seen it in a year.

[dallas184]

did he build the boat from scratch or was it bought from a hobby shop

[HelloScottB]

I believe it was an eBay purchase, but I'll ask him and let you know.

Scott

[HelloScottB]

The owner's response: "It was built from scratch by the original owner/builder. The original owner used to live up in the Northeast but now lives on the shore in the Carolina's. That is where I picked it up. The hull is made of fiberglass so the original owner had a plug. He actually built it with a friend and he does not know where the molds went to. That is unfortunate, because I believe there are a few people out there that would build models of this boat if hulls were available."

@HelloScottB wat woild u recomend for a beginner nice and cheap boat and not easy to sink because i sunk six cheap boats

[shevonnxm]

best

[Mark2790]

Awesome looking boat. I wish my local indoor pool centre would let me play with my boats there.

Oh, and lose the music. You won't have to worry about copyright issues if you don't use music at all ;)

[HelloScottB]

No issues on the music. It's from a royalty free site.  I liked it!

[patakajet7]

really nice i thinbk he should turn the small boat rc to so that when pushed a button on remote the arm swins the boat over n in the water then having that run to

[HelloScottB]

That would be nice! He did have an R/C helicopter land on the deck. Not too perfect, but it worked!

[patakajet7]

sweeet

[5306898100]

Wow, that looks like it would be fun....for about one minute!!!

[HelloScottB]

You got that wrong. Its in a tight space, but it was the ship's debut. On open water its magnificent.

[thirstytiger]

Awesome model ! 6 stars for the beautiful job

done by Gene - negative 6 stars for the crap music which is totally inappropriate for this video.

[HelloScottB]

Sorry about the music if you don't like it. I did at the time. The other problem is you have to be careful what music you use on these videos. Copyright is getting enforced big time on YouTube these days. So, you have to use royalty free music. Savy?

[30GB]

y water cool the motors if it goes that slow

[HelloScottB]

I don't know that they are water cooled. They probably don't need to be, you are right. The boat goes much faster, but not in a small swimming pool! It takes a while to turn.

[packets69]

very nice but tottaly impractical. slow unstable.boring

[HelloScottB]

I couldn't disagree with you more. Its very stable, slow only because its in a tight area, and given the reaction of other skippers and the crowd, anything but boring!

[schummiehugo]

de binnenkant ziet er een beetje droevig uit? of niet

[phoenixfire47]

79lbs, geez. Thats a sick boat! I'm hopefully getting a scale boat by summer and hopefully my Mini Rio will be Brushless...
