Thanks for the help guy's The thing is I don't know what issues I will have with this boat? It's going to be run in the 1/10th Modern Scale class. I plan to offset the cowling to the left and I will be running a ,062 wire drive and P spec. power. I have no problem offsetting the complete...

Thanks for the reply, now I'm confused ? I'm guessing it runs well as it looks well used, does it want to pull to one side? Is this an 1/8 scale boat and does the strut mount in the center of transom or to the right, any sponson mods.? Of course mine would be offset to the left and batteries...

I think I will stick to the center with the drive and just offset the cowling. Thanks T.C.

Thanks for all the information guy's, I have one more question I'm sure you all can answer. Now that I have the plans altered and am happy with the offset, I was thinking about the drive line and weather it should be offset also ? Whats the norm and what are the good and bad of offsetting the...

Thank you all for helping, I'll just have to fudge the offset but at least it will be on the correct side as 1/10th FE runs counter clockwise. All I have to do now is decide what boat to build as this hull will build a bunch . Is their a place other than Newton's to look at pictures of modern...

Thank you for the reply, I figured it mattered scale is scale, not sorta scale. Anyone have an idea of how much the 8255 boats were offset ? inches, feet ? T.C.

Thank you all for the input and suggestions. If I may ask another question, as to the cab placement I notice that on some boats it's in the center and others it's off to one side ? Anyone know the correct placement for a MHR 8255 hull, or does it go by who owned the boat ? I've seen some...

I have a set of Dave Frank Oberto plans that are second revision 4-12-93 that I am thinking of using to build a 1/10 scale FE boat . I know there are Newton plans and Mike can laser cut a kit for me but I would rather do it myself My question is, Has anyone built from these plans and how did...

Thanks for the reply Tom I'm thinking 350.00 - 300.00 for the two or OBO . T.C.

Hey Al hope all is well with you, Iv'e just been hanging out here in sunny Ft Pierce. A friend of mine wants to put electric motors in this Dumas boat that had these two OPS motors in it. I dont think they have been run very much at all, I'm thinking with a good soaking and some oil they could...

These two motors have about two hours on them, they have been sitting for about 20 years and were supposed to have been "pickled" when put up? They will not turn over at this time and I haven't even tried to do so. I think one goes right and the other left ? I don't know if the fuel guys...

The shirts will look something like this/ T.C.

Thats a great deal ! I have only one problem, I just ordered plans on the 25th of Oct., wish I would have known this............................ bummer T.C.

Thanks again Ted: I called them truck for lack of a better term and I also seen a post where someone called them that. "shoes" actually sound better. I would be curious to see if your boat cornered as well without the "shoes" ? T.C.

Thanks again Ted: It would look different with both trucks and rear sponsons. LOL Are you running the trucks the same AOA as the front sponsons ? T.C.

Thanks Ted, Thats just the kind of information I'm looking for. Do you think sponsons would slow ya to much? T.C.

Rear sponsons,rear trucks or rear ski. What design works best on twenty to sixty size riggers ? Pro's and con's of each style would really be nice. I see them all on boats and they all seem to work well, so I was wondering what some of the differences were? Better handling, faster down the...

I don't post here much but this thread is interesting to me. My son and I run SV and UL spec. boats including rigger and LSH, the reason we run these classes is to keep the cost down. To me what you do by allowing the "better adjustable" esc's is up the price of competing, if you want a better...

Thanks for the replies Ray & Rick; Ray that post had enough information my head is still spinning from reading it. Thanks it answered my questions. Hey Rick, yep it's me out from under my rock. LOL My son is 29 now and is toying with the FE boats, so you know I cant just sit and watch, one...

This would be my first post here, I have been reading alot about riggers and found alot of good information on this site. I see some boats have rear sponsons and some have ski's and others have nothing, I see the pro's and cons for all the different types. (I think) Anyway my question is, what...
