great boat,,,,, Now you can send it to my house!!!!!!! Now for the real comment and question,,,,,, Boat while under throttle seems very stable,,,But when not givin the gas seems to wobble a little I wonder if a little weight or some sort of way to make it less shakey while not under power.....A great vid and beautiful boat...

Well since my last comment, i've been working on a ProBoat PT109 hull trying to model it after this thing. It's 1/24th scale and the only good thing about it is the general shape of the hull. I've gotten a bunch of cosmetic fittings for it and intend to redo the bridge entirely as well. With luck it will look as good as this. Mine rides too high when underway. It thinks its a racer. Gets half out of the water. Yours looks so much better! Keep up the great work!

Looked up - you're right lol. Brilliant work. What brand of propellers did you use, also make and model? I've got a 1/24scale kit of one of these that i'm upgrading. trying to find the best quality bits for it. Keep up the brilliant work!

Looks wonderful. Rides a little low in the water though don't it?
