Makeing gas boat - AddictedtoNITRO - 07-23-2006
Hi I was gonna take up a challange and make a gas powered boat. I could use all the help I can get, If you have any tips or suggestions please post them. I was looking at getting a 25cc 2 stroke and wanted to go pretty cheap but wasn't sure what is a good one. Anyone know? I'm sure stihl and echo etc etc are good but was looking at a cheap homelite or weed eater. Plus I could use some resources on where to get a boat at to put this stuff in.
Thanks

I've been toying with the idea also. Here are a few sites with links to other sites. http://martysrcboats.com/boat.htm http://www.rc-airplane-world.com/nitro-rc-boat-motors.html http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/

Check this site out. It's a great resource. Probably the best on the web for gasoline powered boats.

ooo for ur engine. John Deere engines are really nice. But if u want cheap and last, then ryobi. There really powerful and cheap.

How are you at building from a wood kit? Zippkits R/C Boats! has some nice kits that are cheap. It would cost you probably as much for the wood as it would to get the kit.
A Kyosho Jet Stream 10 is about as far away from a gas boat as you can get.
26cc Zenoahs are one of the best bangs for the buck for a new water-cooled engine made for boats. The best price right now for them is at Warehouse Hobbies, Warehouse Hobbies - Maximize Your R/C Experience! . You can use weedeater engines but the one of choice there is the Homelite in 25 or 30cc's. These can be upgraded later on with tuned pipes, water-cooled heads and bigger carbs.

But if you still need a hull,
I have a shockwave 55inch hull from proboat. $140.00
