Outstanding vid! Great job!

Thanks for watching.

Beautiful boat, great work. I picked up a Dumas Shelly Foss at a thrift shore. Another discontinued boat that’s really fun to run.

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

I have one of those to build as well. Maybe in a few years. I want to build an antique wood Dumas kit next.

[@jefflevoir6127]

FANTASTIC 👍

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Thanks for watching.

[@genekloszewski5484]

I've built R/C wooden boats since 1970's, yours is really well done! thanks for sharing! Hoping Dumas does a remake of this kit...

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Thanks for watching and I hope to build a second model for myself but with the open bridge and Tuna tower.

[@ScarabChris]

Beautiful job, and I say that as a boater in Ft Lauderdale and an RC hobbyist who has a few boats. That is one of the best kits ever put out by Dumas or any manufacture for that matter. I love the scale builds myself.

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Thanks for watching. It was a fun boat to build. I enjoy scale boats and trying to customize where I can.

[@hobioficial7682]

The ship is great...!!! Very luxurious. I like. Good luck always brother

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Thanks for the nice comments. My dream is to have a real 65 Donzi enclosed bridge.

[@hobioficial7682]

Okay dude...!!! I hope your dream can come true... Keep struggling and sludge💪buddy...!! !

Thanks for the comment and for watching.

Looks great!

[@rcnortechboats]

You building a very nice Boa whit a lot of details. A very good Job.

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Thanks for watching. It’s a favorite model of mine. I want to build another with the open bridge and tuna tower on top. First I need to find a new kit.

[@rcnortechboats]

@@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483 Tanks for your watching. I wish you a nice Sunday.

Hämmastav!!

[@71three5ohscrambler8]

I love it man. I just ordered a 36" Salvage Tug from Harbormodels. Can't wait to get started on it.

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Did you see my Harbor Models Moran tug I built on my channel?

[@71three5ohscrambler8]

@@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483 no I haven't. The pic of ur boat just popped up on my feed. I'll check out ur boats for sure.

[@deanbadbear9711]

Hi Robert..... for some reason I could not find that boat you mentioned that you built for your friend....I looked in the classified section.

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

I just checked and it is still there. Click on classified, then Boats, then type Dumas Donzi, then scroll down to apache47,

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

The model is in Arizona and preferably pick up if you can. Where are you located?

[@alexwenzel6932]

Wow!

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Thanks for watching.

[@arrowkart66]

Hi great job on the build looks great 👍, curious to what or where you heard this kit might be coming back again? Would love to Aquire one for my self one day 😅

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Dumas told me on the phone they were thinking of bringing the kit back into production. Sometimes you can find them for sale on EBay or RC Groups.

[@Finnmarken91]

@@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483 Maybe we will be lucky enough for them to bring back the Prime Time Yacht Kit #1229.

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

@@Finnmarken91 I see them rarely on EBay for sale. I have one I am almost ready to paint in the spring of 2022. I hope to have it completed next year and I will show it on KZbin. Maybe I will do a before paint video. It’s a tough model to build if you want it to look like a multi million dollar yacht. I was also able to see the full size yacht in Fort Lauderdale.

[@davidgardner863]

All that extra detail work sure paid off. The stock kits leave a lot to be desired.

[@arif_fadillah_]

how long is the playing time using two 6 AH batteries?

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Run time is about 30 minutes depending on the speed you drive.

[@danielruggieroa]

Hey Robert. Do you know where I can get one of this?

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Not at this time. Keep checking EBay and RC Groups. This kit is not made anymore.

[@zielbaldez-ff9jn]

De quantos volts é as baterias e de quantos amperes

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Each battery is 12 volts and 7 or 8 amps work fine.

[@deanbadbear9711]

Great job and gorgeous boat are you interested in selling it?

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Not selling mine but I built one just like it for a friend who wants to sell his for $2500. It’s in Rc groups in the classified with pictures. It is painted white but with no clear coat. My email is on the listing.

[@Jake-iw8tp]

Please tell me where I can buy this with a link or any sport fish boat that would be great because I am looking to buy one

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

There is one for sale in San Diego that I built and sold. Email if interested. [e-mail]

[@Jake-iw8tp]

Thanks

[@Miky1582]

Ciao. Ma vendi questo modello? Quanto costa?

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Thanks for watching. Most of the build is labor hours spread over 3 years and $2k in parts.
