ive been wanting to build a rc boat that matches my race boat. i think it would be something cool to place on a shelf and get a kick out of it when the time comes. ive been pricing small 3 ft mono hulls that somewhat resemble the deep v of a cyclone. i have some friends who are good with fiber glass. the plan is to buy one and then change the deck to match then paint. the problem is most of these are designed to hold a small nitro motor inside the hull with almost a surface drive set up coming out the back.
my boat is a 21 ft nordic cyclone f2. to match the boat i would need a nitro motor outboard if thats what i could call it... i cant seem to find any for sale. any one know what im talking about or what type of motor this is? attached below is a link to a rc nitro gas hydroplane. it has the motor i want but it is priced with the boat as a package. if anything i could buy the whole set up just for the motor but id like to avoid this and just buy the components i need.
