Love all your videos Scott. Your coverage of these events is excellent. You guys definitely have some amazing boats over in Washington. What scale are The O boy oberto hydro and Quatar hydro at the beginning of the pits. Are they gas or nitro. They beautiful!! Keep up the great work. Always enjoy watching all you vids.

Could you provide the contact info for the atlas vans "no bar" setup please? I'm going to need one of those for my rig. Thanks Scott. I love the channel and learning from your videos. So much of what you share has been helpful in building and improving my boats.

Both. Check it out; If you're just looking for plans so you can scratch build your own boat, Newton Marine has a huge selection here; www.newtonmarine.com/ The best place to buy wood kits is MLBoatworks; mlboatworksrc.com/ Many good fiberglass boats and cowlings are also available from RC Boat Company; rcboatcompany.com/ Between these three you should be able to find almost anything you'd want!

Great job I was wondering how do I know if I have the right prop for my hydro and getting the maximum speed ? Thanks

@M5PerfHydros

When you figure that out please let me know! Seriously... I have no idea, and neither does anybody else. What anybody who has raced for a decent period of time does have is two or three boxes full of props that didn't work, and two or three new props on order at all times. Trial and error Adam, with heavy emphasis on error.

I have to ask, why do RC boats run Clockwise? I've always seen a real boat race run counterclockwise.

@M5PerfHydros

Motor rotation, and therefore prop twist. For whatever reason RC engines turn the opposite direction from most other engines

A boatload? It's been years since we've gunned these things with an accurate radar, so I don't know the speeds for certain. One of our guys uses a gps on his gasser and routinely runs 68mph+ but I don't know how accurate that might be. His is not the fastest either so who knows?
