Oh yeah, another expensive hobby.

Dumas 27’ Chris Craft my dad and I built. It’s full RC as well. I’ll find a better home for it when I finish our basement.

This is also a dumas kit, 1/8 scale nitro powered (.67) hydro. Only ran it once, does about 45mph and makes an unbelievable amount of noise

Here's an Expresscraft I converted from Gas to electric:

And, an old MRP Fountain I repowered with scale outdrive from TFL and brushless power:

good stuff. I love the gas and nitro of long ago but electric is the way to go nowadays. We still have a big Prather fun cruiser with a built out gas engine but they can be a bit of a pain to keep running right. Electric just….goes

Beautiful Chris.

thanks! Took years to build on and off. Individual mahogany strips and loads of epoxy

I agree, that is a great model of the Chris…most of the models I see can’t capture the exact lines,… I notice you enjoy the local brew Btw.
