Nice!

Ever seen an rc boat doing 122 mph?

[RC-Monster Mike]

I've never even seen a real boat going that fast (except on tv). I heard about the 120+mph rc boat, though. Unbelievable!

Pretty cool, just wouldn't want my boat to break out in the water and have to go get it, lol...

You just cast it over the boat and snag the hardware
and make sure your down wind:D Always use lots of flotation. Flipping is inevitable so try and seal the heck out of a boat. Use hatch tape and a balloon for your Rx

Yes Joerg's record is amazing. Even more so, boats are up to 96 mph on 12cells:eek:76 on 6cells 57on4cells

Okay, here is where it gets interesting..

96 mph on 12 cells? Got a link? you know what motor they used?

[hallertau2000]

It was at last years SAWS in California no video, it was the same guys who went 120+and were clocked at over 140 Team JAGS see the last issue of RCBoatModeler it's all in there

It says the motor for the 12 cell record was, Lehner 1930/4
