Is there a body for the red one or is that the way it runs? Never seen one like that? Going to snatch these photos for the boat section.

Emilio go for it photos are there to be shared dude. both the red boats are "outrigger hydroplanes" So as you see them is how they run mate. Here a couple of videos of the single cylinder for you to have a look at.

give it some volume and hear it singing!!!!

Emilio If you want I could put a small thread together for you to better understand the concept behind the riggers. Youll be surprised at what speeds you can get out of them. They also run them as twin side side zenoah and nitro powered hulls. Although theres really not much to the hull the are still bloody expensive to build and maintain. AND PROPELLERS?????? Man dont even get me started on me propeller collection

ChEers Geoff. I will admit I have a few threads set up on the QSS site with all the boats in and the build processes and photos.

That cat is 63 inches long @mike casey. Made by MHZ in germany. The 2 quickdraw motors are made on your side of the pond.

Well things have taken a huge right turn. I recently had 2 offers on 2 of my boats that were too good to pass up. So the red inline rigger has been sold back to the original builder which Im grateful for and then I was making comment that I have a 63 inch Cat and the fellow said he would pay me what I had invested in it so I let it go. I still have the inline engine and pipe and it will get used somewhere along the lines just not sure where. Unless someone wants to make an offer on it aswell??? :mrgreen:

Hey Paul I tried to buy one of those SAMBA pipes of eddie pefore he stopped making them. there a good pipe and make good power. The only issue with those was they weren't very aerodynamic.

And the is that the generation 2 lower of eddies or the gen 1???

I spoke to eddy about one but to get one to Australia was a massive task. Also spoke with Arian Hendriks and Jim Tsang. about getting another AH Geared lower but it didn't eventuate.

Hello,

Yep, I know, the pipes are not winning the beauty contest but the quality and power is ok.
To get parts out of Europe is not a big issue, it is easy but the costs are very high. All the forwarders ask huge amounts of money this days :evil:

Hey Bulldog did you get a response from paul yet about the Synthars???? The AH leg is made for those hulls and with the mercury cowl would look pretty stout.
