My boat build in Video form.

Hi chaps and boat builders,
I am doing a video of my Model power boat, build on Youtube       and I hope you like it as it has taken me a long time to build it with financial problems and also time available.

Please have a look and let me know what you think.

Very good Bernie. 

excellently presented...........and very interesting too........coming from one of the few towns left in this sad PC correct country of ours that still lets ICE boats still run on the lake and in front of two nursing and rest homes as well..........they have always fascinated me from being a young lad.
still prefare my slow scale boats, but unlike many toffee nosed modellers i can see the beauty and fascination of these raw beasties.......look forward to the rest of your blogg.

Yup its a shame IC engine are forbidden on most lakes now   but i'm half tempted to buy something large this year and smack a 4 cylinder Zhenoah 86cc special in there and run the length of our lake just to stick it to the man 



Not to be funny with anyone but with a lot of boats running being fast electric types in some areas those inrunner motors make more of a whine then most 2 stroke engine can, yet they don't get moaned about.

Facts basically 2 stroke or 4 stroke engines with a decent silencer make no more noise then a 17 year old keving up his pathetic scooter and riding it past ya house at 1am thinking that's just awesome.

''Oh god of noise pollution and grumpy old gits everywhere, grant us permission to use IC engines in our boats again''

you are so very right RR....was talking to a council member the other day about just the thing.......his comment was "I used to watch these big boats as a kid on here and longed for one......over my dead body will wyre ever ban them from this lake........it's what fleetwood is proud off in it's heritage"

over here it depends who you are 1km x 2km lake no i/c models.fishing from outboard boat is ok as is the out board boats involved with rowing we have 5 grammar schools local I guess money wins.

and yet if one of those grammar school students wanted to make an ICE boat for a GDT project he'd probably be allowed to sail it with an outboard boat in "chase" to rescue it...........typical lack of any justice in this world.

Yep cant beat the petrol, for me anyway.
