'85 Octura Toms Cat......just for the fun of it!

Decided to put in some fresh radio gear and clean it up........and maybe run it for fun! It never was real fast but it liked rough water and finished a lot of heats! Cant believe its 40 years old LOL!

I would take some spacer blocks to the lake and play with moving the engine back. That is a very inset transom.

That was one of my first 21 tunnel boats 36 yrs ago.

Great looking Toms Cat! I had one of the 1st gen Dumas Hot Shot kits as my first R/C boat. Fun stuff!
