Astonishing results. One question, she seems to generate an unusual wake that almost seems to cover the front deck. Is that typical of this Cris craft in trus scale?

Hi Mike that might be my lack of building / shaping skills!

 This is my first attempt so I'm not sure how the water should flow over the bow.

Can't say how a real Chris Craft cuts through the water either as I've never seen one. Mystery eh?

Great build mate. You nailed it. And great video and music too. I've just ordered my kit and hope to start as soon as it arrives. May post on RC site. Your build posting was very influential in my decision on which model to choose. This will be my first build. Thanks for the help you've already given.

Yes the boat was a DUMAS kit. Plans and wood all supplied.

The on the water shots (tracking shot) was done by having another RC boat driven alongside with a waterproof camera strapped to the deck.

Very well done video. Nice build on the boat. Was that a Dumas kit or Plans? How did you get the "on the water while under way" shots? Nice bow wave, very realistic.
