EL BOTE ROJO

THE RED BOAT

 

The RED BOAT was bought as is from a friend in the mainland where boat running is kind of difficult, is an european design hull, with a .65 OS inboard engine, driving a brass drive rod that comes out the botton of the hull and end on a brass prop, the rudder is made of brass and is driven by a hi torque Hitec Servo. The radio equipment is an old Futaba, that is very old G-series radio. The boat is quick and fast. I run it on the ocean so it handles little waves and jumps a lot.

This Boat over reved because of a faulty tx, had to ordered a connecting rod and have it done to this engines specs, it has not been tryed out yet. The boat is now in Barranquilla and trials will be done on fresh water lake at golf club.
