Whitewater Jetboat hulls

[ben]

Having recently built a jet boat from a bandit boats salsa powered by a B H Hanson G23

with a graupner jet drive. after a couple of runs ona lake it was off to a mountain river

in the lake district, England. It was great fun running the boat in whitewater, it submarined a few times and knocked a few rocks, but was a sucess and the best fun I've had with a RC boat.

The hull was not totally suitable though being an offshore hull it was to long and not manouverable

enough to avoid the rocks. now i wish to build or purchase a hull resembling the tunnel type jetboats

they race full size in whitewater. Does anyone know where i could get plans/hull or have any information

regarding this type of boat. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Ben

I have seen the graupner jetsprint before, a little bit

small for a G23 . although i fancy completely sealing

one up so it won't sink when submerged.

It was specifically the tunnel type they race in whitewater

i was interested in, i might have to email a few maufacturers

of full size boats and see if i can get any help that way

thanks, ben
