Hello everyone!

So, I've been searching for a fun community to share this project with for some time now, and here at model-boats, I think I've found just the right crowd!

So, brown-nosing complete, let's begin.

Initially, my interest pique'd having watched the YouTube video "How to make a scale RC foam board boat" posted by user Matthew Autenrieb. We exchanged some emails, I got hold of the plans, and began drawing up this thing in 3D.

That's when I caught the fever.

this video happened, and then my YouTube history channel is FILLED with build videos, customised RC speed boats and a plethora of designing ideas. Whilst Matthew and Jh0e101 have great boats, I wanted something more... Something spectacular.

I want something as tall as me.

I want it fast.

I want it big.

I want it full of power.

I set about researching how to make the batteries I already have more powerful.

I researched how I could make the stock motors I already own more powerful.

I wanted everything in my home to explode with electricity.

And, mostly, it all did 😁

-----------------------------------------

Attached you can see the plans for this boat. Rest assured, that deck is 72" - seventy-two inches - 1830mm - SIX FOOT !!!

So, builders, newbies, vet's, everyone.. I welcome you all along my journey into this monster. I'm unsure what to call it... I woke this morning and my first thought, even before the beautiful lady that is losing me to this research was, Project Poseidon. Thoughts?

I have put up a thread I'd love for everyone to take part in for giving advice, passing comments, offering ridicule and having a laugh with me along the way so that this can be kept clean and tidy directly for the project. Thread can be found here: http://mdlbt.com/19708

Keep an eye on both, as updates will be coming in the next few days as my electronics all start to arrive and the laser cutter starts to sizzle through plastics and woods!!!

Cheers,
Dean
