Man and his GIANT Toy Boat - GAS Powered 48" "ROCKSTAR" starts after 4 years Sitting Idle

This mega behemoth of a boat is called the "Rockstar".. and I have owned it for more than a 1/2 decade. For the last 4 years.. it has sat basically idle.. not seeing any water. Today that will change. The 2 Stoke Gas powered engine is only 26cc, and at top speed (stock) this boat can only go about 40mph. Slow, many will say... and I agree. In todays standards an electric, 6s 22.2v Lipo charged small boat can KILL this larger boat in speed - but there really need to be something said about the nuances of running, tuning.. and dialling in a gas powered engine. There is always a risk that you will find yourself stranded in the middle of a pond, or lake with a gas powered engine.. but the sound, the smells.. and the brute LONG Run Time a gas tank can give the user is unlike any other experience.
This boat is no longer available.. and was discontinued years ago. Thankfully I have this one.. because I really do enjoy taking it out on an open pond to have a good rip! Heck.. this pond is WAY to small for a boat like this to even open up on the throttle. If you want to see an insane video about a PAIR of these beauties... click here: • RC ADVENTURES - Racing... Its worth the click.
For the Aerial videos, I used my DJI Mavic 2 Pro.. its got a great image quality, doesn't it?!
Key Features
"Powerful water-cooled Dynamite® 26cc gas engine capable of propelling the catamaran to speeds of over 40 MPH.
To better power its behemoth size the Rockstar Catamaran comes equipped with a large-scale servo with over 270 oz.-in of torque
Removable composite radio tray allows for easy maintenance and access to receiver and radio components
A durable inline rudder ensures the Rockstar 48 inch catamaran will turn with precision in both directions
Unlike most catamaran boats of this size the Rockstar 48 has a wide hull for better stability in turns and rough water
A centrifugal clutch helps prevent the prop from spinning while the engine is at idle. This added safety measure keeps your fingers and hands safe while being handled
The aluminum hardware has been anodized to match the Rockstar trim scheme and adds a level of durability for longevity
The Rockstar 48 inch catamaran comes equipped with the superior Spektrum DX2E DSMR Radio System"

I'm getting mad because of the dislikes, how can you not like this show? Its awesome. By the way does water go through that boat any, or is it just the propeller that's in the water.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

I always look at it this way.. if I have 90% of the voters who enjoy it, and 10% who dislike it.. I know I nailed it. Can't please them all.. so 90% is a pass for me.. Haha ;) Only question is.. did you enjoy the show?! (Just the prop... ;) . )
