Picture 1My intensions for this boat is to rebuild a 10year rundown a somewhat damaged old .46 glo powered Perkasa and turn it into a scale performance eletronic powered Boat. without going overboard with cluttering the vessel.
This is the rebuilt hull with a new deck.
Picture 2 Here is another photo including the Transmitter I that I intend to use. It is just a 2ch at the moment, rudder and power.
Picture 3 Just another view. The next step will be installing the motor, It will be a 12 - 24volt Johnson 985. Just smaller than 2 x 540's. the motor amps peak at 12.6amp's on start up and then runs full power at approx 8.5amp's so a 12volt 7amph battery will be more then enough, lasting about 45-50 minutes at full power out of the water. Istill need to do the test under load.

This is the old cabin next to the new one, this is made out of 3mm Ply and Balsa.

This is the motor. It is a Johnson 985 shaft on both ends.>

This is a simple push pull rudder set up
Out with the old and in with the new. The old cabin was hit with a large 4 wheeled moving object so I had to make a new one, this inspired me to rebuild the whole boat with a few modifications to the apperance of the vessel, It also looks cleaner and newer <
