Default I bought a Huge Tug Boat

Here are the specs

The Tug is a Robbe Odin tug. ABS hull is 47"L and 13.5"W overall height is approx.30" Equiped with 18 working lights, a fire monitor that swivels up and down, left and right from the radio with all the plumbing to make it shoot water The tow hook also is released from the radio. the motor is a BIG Robbe 1000 motor that should pull a small child

Can't wait to get this thing in the pond,
P

Those are cool tugs We (not me) have a few here in town,one is a bit bigger than this one and it has a 2 cyl. diesel in it. Thre is one that is half built for sale here to, it is a scratch build from plans. He has planed and cut all the wood for the tug.

I can't wait to get this ting I've been looking for something like this for some time. I'll be running it with my DX7. Lights will be wired up to a micro switch, water pump,winch,anchor.

This is my first boat and should be a ton of fun.

Looks like a nice place to stretch out my baby. Gotta finish it soon before summer gets here.

I landed my Stryker on the ramp to the trailer.

Reset throttle spring on the 7?

You using it for ground or what?

I tossed the Stryker up in front of the house the other day...a couple of neighbors down the street were watching.

I made the first pass by them at about 70ft and 1/2 throttle.

The 2nd pass was under the street lights (less than 20ft off the deck) and at full throttle out of a dive. Easily 120+.

"That's it! I'm gettin' one of those!"

He came down, asked questions, then went to the LHS and picked up a Stryker.

We're going to terrorize the folks around us.


weeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! !!!!!!

On a regular basis. Moves along damn good. It's an Aeromarine Challenger(I think). She takes a beating. Got it from a guy who raced it but it wasn't his best handling. The motor has alot of work done to it but I couldn't tell you what. Pretty sure it's stroked though. Will be bringing it to the next Augusta gtg if there is another. And if everyone thinks I will be able.(she's kinda loud)
