Gas Lauterbach

[Gary Murcott]

Lauterbach only built 4 of these boats this is the plug to build the mold off I will have a boat out of the mold by March . The R & D on the boat will be done by Randy Rapedius I am sure he will get the most out of the boat

Comments welcome

Not sure if the pickle fork is legal in namba

 

[Gary Murcott]

I don t think it is but I run IMPBA

 

[Gary Murcott]

Getting closer will have the finish on the plug by Monday and start the mold next week

Comments welcome be kind

Wow great job Gary should be a looker keep up the good work

Could this boat run in 1/6 scale gas under IMPBA rules? Classic thunder has to be round nose right? Again, under IMPBA.

 

[Gary Murcott]

There is a long post on Jim s this boat is IMPBA legal as a thunderboat

 

[Wesleys Custom RC]

I'm not on Jims boat dock so I went to IMPBA's site. I dont think I ever read the rules for classic thunder except for the engine rules. I'm glad to see the inclusion. IMPBA sure is doing something right....47 thunder boats for the gas nats. gonna be fun.

 

[Stephan Peterson]

His measurement fit per IMPBA as long as pickle fork is a max of 10% of the length of the boat. Pickles in his case would be a max of 5.3 inches. Nice work Gary. Im also working on a Thunderboat mold. See you at the races this year

 

[Gary Murcott]

Just to be safe the pickle fork on my boat is 5.0 inches I am sure there will be a lot of new pickle fork builds in the years to come

 

[Wesleys Custom RC]

If I had not seen some of Phil thomas's round nose boats run I would go get me a pickle fork boat in a heart beat. That said, I believe that whoever does their homework ....and LOTS of testing will be fast in 2016. Including this gorgeous looking pickle fork.

There are a couple that run in D14

 

[TheodoreDudley]

I don t think it is but I run IMPBA

I.M.P.B.A. rule states that the pickle fork shall not exceed 10% of the hull length and be modeled after a classic era boat (1950-1970).

 

[Gary Murcott]

This boat has been approved by IMPBA the boat is 53 inches I am at 5.0 inches on the pickle fork the rules read 1950 to 1970 s
