This is my Graupner Bismarck,that my other half bought for my Christmas,last year,I got it cheap,and it came with full rc gear inc 2 x 30amp Electronize contr,and 6 x 6v 4ah,batteries, and a 2ch tx rx,and it is like new,and the wee burdies got that too before I had a chance to lock them out,

my boat is powered by a 26cc zenoah engine,I skinned the outside in real carbon fiber and the interior with carbon/kevlar.I use a spektrum DX3S 2.4ghz tx with a spektrum MR3000 marine rx.the boat is equipped with a killer bee remote kill switch that doesn't need any power source to work so it will still kill the engine instantly in the event of battery failure or broken wire or when I want to from the tx. the carbon fiber was hand laid and wetted out with a special resin,then around six weeks of hand sanding with different grades of wet and dry to get it super smooth,then polish.

A quick ( 3 weeks) rough 35" balsa MaiamI powered by Turrnigy 28/30 outrunner , 3cell LiPo and 30A ESC made for my son who wasn't that interested so I am adding a bit more to it and 'playing' with it myself .
Vic Smeed plan Thornycroft took about 20yrs (on and off) to complete and has an Electronize 43HX 24v 15A controller, 2x 400 sized 6-12v brushed motors 4cell 3000MAh LiPo for main power with seperate 3 cell LiPo running a computer fan for cooling (fan is linear and sucks air through the boat from the front hatches and blows it out through the rear hatches) There are also seperate 3 and 4 cell AA NmH packs for nav and interior lighting.
Boat runs 28mm 3 blade props and runs at a realistic scale speed and attitude. Radio gear is 2.4 and I have modified one TX for twin throttles and at present am running both these boats simultaniously on the one TX.
Have bought twin car ESCs, batts, RXs and BECs for the PT and the (36") British Power Boat 64ft HSL I am building (modelled on the RNZAFs 64ft HSL- the only one sold in the southern hemisphere - in 1940) Went on board as a teenager before she was ruined by being turned into a pleasure launch so it was a help with the building. Still remember the wonderful alloy 'Power Boat' stair treads down to the ward room. Will get some pics up of the HSL as well.

My Astec 35th Scale Vosper 73' ASRL @ Creally yesterday
It has a JP Power 480 motor driving a 25mm 3 blade prop. Powered by a 6v 4Ah LA battery with a RadioLink 2.4ghz RX. and a 15A Mtronics ESC

Also a bit bow heavy until the power / speed comes on.

Regards
Chris

Here's a photo of the initial on the water run yesterday at Crealy of the Vosper 73' ASRL I've been asking for help with in the forum .
Not yet finished with deck fittings & rigging aerials but performed very reasonably. it has a JP Power 480 motor driving a 25mm 3 blade prop. Powered by a 6v 4Ah LA battery with a RadioLink 2.4ghz RX. and a 15A Mtronics ESC

success !! I have done it " my photos of my two boats . the one on the water is the 94 fireboat fitted with a 500 torpedo electric motor and a spectrum rx/tx works very well !! . The other is crash tender 93 under going a rebuild after being rescued on ebay . from a new member A prestney.

Custom made fire boat.Was a Marx Dukw . No motor ,just for display.something a little different. 1/32 scale

Svitzer tug Ayton Cross, built by Terry O'Rourke in 2006/2007. Mostly scratch built, on a Mobile Marine Models GRP hull.

She is powered by two car heater motors, with a Marx luder bow thruster. I have used an Action kit motor mixer, it works well.

These photos were taken at the Chantry club lake, at the Bluewater shopping centre in kent.
