Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Thanks Tommo - I'd love to put one of those tiny working V8's in it, but at US$10k for normally aspirated and US$18k for the blown version I'm afraid I'll be sticking to the simplest and most reliable powerplant - electric

have you checked out these little donks Hookster, Bit pricy to get the motor but those 200 mah batterys are 80$ each not to mention the charger,go like the blazzes with a expansion chamber. cheers pete.

hey Tommo I'd put one of those in a balls to the wall model race boat (scale hydro?) but this current project is really for showing orf in a gentlemanly fashion (a first for me I can tell ya - not the showing off bit, the other bit ) I'm already equipped with the batteries, radios etc due to a flirt with flying R/C foamies. All this stuff is so damn cheap now

Yeah Well Jon, that makes sense, If you have got all the gear Mate, Full steam ahead as they say.

I rekon it will grab a fair bit of attention once on the water.

cheers Mate, Peter

It will if he drives it like the full size one

Al I'm just exploiting the motor that you built for me
