Thunderboat

[Mike Cathey]

Who's currently making the fastest and best handling fiberglass Thunderboat?

 

[john v]

insane makes a nice one, saw a couple of them run

 

[Steve Seebold]

Only problem I see with the Insane Thunderboat is it looks more like a 7 litre hydro than a thunderboat.

 

[RobertDoak]

To date...the fastest fiberglass version that I have personally seen run and looks like a classic hydro is the Seaducer version.....the insane version does resemble a classic for sure...add a merlin engine to the front and it will look pretty darn good

 

[RobertDoak]

But if you truly want the fastest classic hydro....get the wood kit from Blazer...lauterbach

 

[Jeff Barnes]

When I went to Saint Anne race somebody in that club was laying up a very fast thunder boat?

 

[ChrisHerzog]

The Insane boat is a very popular fiberglass hull and is also a very strong running competitive hull.

 

[Randy Rapedius]

Insane is hard to beat.

The top 3 thunderboats at the NAMBA Nationals this year were all insane. ::: The Official Site of the North American Model Boat Association :::

The champ boat at this years IMPBA Nationals was a heavily modified wood Blazer. Wasn't even close. If it wasn't for having such a wide lead after the first lap and slowing down, most of the Insane boats would have been lapped. Really didn't want to embarrass anyone. Just saying.

With that being said the Insane hull is nice. Helping a club member rig one up now.

Merry Christmas everyone. Doug

I ran the Seaducer,it was the Miss Timex,held its own in my District,boat was very well known!,Also a old 55" Peter Mueller that my wife and I both ran,it beat the best of them.
