Does anyone know who is the builder of this boat? Photos were posted in the gallery but I was unable to find the owner on this site. It looks awesome! Thanks

I believe Peter Mueller has molds for LARGER then 1/8th scale hydros, not sure of the actual scale.

He had a largter that 1/8th scale he was putting the true turbines in awhile back

Thanks Rick,

I have seen video of Peter's Bud running. I wasn't sure if he was selling the hulls though. I think the carbon work here is pretty amazing. Some up close shots in the gallery really do the hull and the turbine better justice. This fellow also has posted pics of a twin turbine cat.

Cheers,

Kevin

That looks like a infusion Type molded hull. State of the art molding.. Very costly Doug Shepherd

Doug,

Is that also referred to as the Seeman Composite Resin Infusion Molding Process, Closed Cavity Bag Molding, or vacuum assisted resin infusion moulding???? Or are these all the same? Thanks

Hello Kevin .

This is a reply from Australia . For several years I have been in contact with Luigi Girrotto - Eli Ka Technologies / Mathe USA to buy parts for my Mathe 35 cc motor . He put me onto a website where several people built 1 / 5 or 1 / 6 Scale Hydro's that were fitted with Mathe motors . Some of the boats were a sight to behold . When I find the pictures of the Bud and other boats I will reply with another post .

Kevin, That would be correct. It is very cool to watch it in action. I have been doing the infusion molding for about 6 months now. Doug

Thanks Ian

Doug,

Everything I have read regarding the process is on the industrial scale. Do you have a supply/info source for hobbyist scale stuff? Thanks
