Thanks, in large part, to this channel, I drove 880 miles to WA to watch Sea Fair last year. I've always loved hydroplanes but thanks to this channel I got into radio controlled hydroplanes and decided I had to go see the real ones in person. It was an experience I'll never forget and one I hope to make an annual occurrence.

[@M5PerfHydros]

Hey don't blame me! Come to the Tricities race sometime and I'll show you around. Much better environment and viewing here!

[@ronbuckner8179]

I live in San Antonio now but I was born on Mercer island and lived on the rock for 35 years. I was actually a pit boy for the Miss Budweiser and I can seriously tell you your interests in hydros is well deserved.

[@DanCrossman-jt1sd]

Make sure to check out the hydro museum, it's great

[@lenturtle7954]

Nice to see the discussions about boats . Its an amazing artform

[@davidgoodbadandugly325]

hello yay racing again! I wish you could get someone to video your races also.

[@M5PerfHydros]

I was just thinking about that! How about a hat-cam at the race this next weekend?

[@MikeGray-ct6hb]

Man I love how u always throw up a pic of your dog in the beginning of your videos. I'm so sorry for your loss, I could not imagine a day without my dog. On a lighter note.......I love your videos as well!

[@M5PerfHydros]

Thanks, I appreciate that. Jaxon was my right-hand dog, truly one of a kind

The Hydra ESC is one of the best it looks like he had a fly color in there before not the way to go Hydra castle creations meant

[@andycynthia3604]

Seeing the boats in Oret Bay makes me feel refreshed. 👍 Thank you for the video. 🙏 I remembered small boats such as ABC HOBBY's Gancia dei Gacia, CESA1885, and BALTEK. PRATHER LAPCAT 21, 40 Many things come to mind Japanese boat maker KNK also comes to mind. CREST 1000 .40 cc engine (ops)..... 🛥😁 and OCTURA (White Heat).. 😲 Thanks to you, I'm happy because it brings back a lot of old memories. 😄🥰

[@M5PerfHydros]

You're welcome, and thanks for watchin'!

[@neljudemangalos7662]

I love to watch your videos, cause I love boat racing and boats are amazing it's beautiful.

[@M5PerfHydros]

Thank you!

[@autoprefecture6591]

Great video! thanks for showing a bit about the boats, not always easy to find much about them for people who would like to get into it

[@M5PerfHydros]

Check out my boat building playlist... Maybe you can build your own!

[@autoprefecture6591]

@@M5PerfHydros Thanks Scott! i've been watching the series over the last few days, im in Australia an it's really hard to get any kits over here from the states without paying 2-3x the price of the kit in shipping, however i found lastnight that Blazer Marine ship at reasonable prices an think i'm going to pull the trigger on one, thanks for all the helpful videos!

[@chrisbrowning360]

Yay!

Woo hoo!

Epic stuff brother thank you for sharing

Thanks. Not a mono guy myself, but kinda dig your channel's vibe too!

[@RogallaMarineRC]

@@M5PerfHydros I do cats and hydros as well. Finishing up a Q sized black pearl sport hydro now. Full wood boat, your videos came in handy for that.

[@k.f.w.6585]

Was easy to miss that you put out another pit area/racing video... Always great to see what everyone's doing! Some great paint work and detail work! Hard to believe I'm the first to comment. I know why... Everyone else is working on their own boat or at the pond testing!!! Like I should be! By the way, I'm not a coffee drinker... Great work, Scott.

[@M5PerfHydros]

Odd. It wasn't supposed to be released yet!

[@M5PerfHydros]

I just checked... It hasn't been listed. Who is this please, and where did you find it posted?

[@anthonydavis5993]

Where was this race at ​@@M5PerfHydros

[@M5PerfHydros]

Finley Washington

[@k.f.w.6585]

I think I found it listed with the other pit tours. I looked at all the dates and view counts. Was starving for more M5 race/pit tour video. And remembered you mentioned a new video coming out. I'm always looking for something from M5!!! Learned a lot from you and your videos!! A LOT easier to find, NOW!!

[@paintendaveextremecollisio8057]

Excellent Video 💯 the wrinkling in the paint is form something didn’t dry correctly.. could be acrylic over lacquer paint over top of each other will cause that as well👍

[@kenoboater]

Derek said he was in a rush and put the next coat on too early.

[@M5PerfHydros]

There you go!

[@kenoboater]

Scott, the gas round nose 69 Pay N Pak, 65 Bardahl and Dereks Miss US are all from the same molds.

[@M5PerfHydros]

Ya but there's been some fiddlin' going on underneath that Bardahl methinks

[@kenolson2777]

@@M5PerfHydros maybe..... we have been trying a couple things between the Bardahl and the Pak.

[@Flyman0550]

Awesome job Scott excellent job on the in depth coverage. My first race is in 2 weeks.

[@M5PerfHydros]

Cool! Are you in WA? Coming to Ellensburg?

@@M5PerfHydros Would really like that. But I’m not ready for you professional guys yet.

[@Flyman0550]

Hey Scott I laughed when I heard Henry was launching your boat. If I remember on one of your videos he threw one upside down.

[@ronbuckner8179]

That lead picture you baited us with has a profile that looks where more like Hawaii Kai then Bardahl, or maybe one of the Detroit boats I.e; Amirnoff, or Gail’s Roostertail,

[@M5PerfHydros]

Ya those hulls were very similar, 29 - 30' long, roughly the same width, identical afterplane. Floor and some sponson differences between them too

Jason Colean has been in Alabama working on the Wiggins' new unlimited

[@merlinnicholes5649]

I see you met my neighbor and his brother!

Ya but where were you?! Those guys are really great, and they've made huge strides in boat performance since the last time they were here!

I'm heading to salt lake for my first boat race with them next weekend . Should be interesting!

[@M5PerfHydros]

Nice!! Shoot some video!

[@Beaconhilldrift]

that is my old 80 backup bud

[@M5PerfHydros]

That's cool!

[@martygun3286]

Why do you guys go right ? Just wondering.

[@mariebaxter473]

Prop rotation makes gas boats turn right better, as we get into electric its not so important as they have L/H and R/H props ,

[@M5PerfHydros]

Engine rotation. Full size hydroplane engines rotate clockwise causing the hull to rotate counterclockwise resulting in a lifting of the right side sponson. If the boats turned to the right they would tend to simply flop over in the turns. Most RC engines rotate counterclockwise lifting the left sponson, so we turn right.

[@martygun3286]

Ah OK thanks for the info I did not think about that at all.

[@efrankphd]

If these boats are going 65 MPH, what would that be at scale?

[@M5PerfHydros]

Well that would be 520mph

[@bdanielcal4608]

Hey Scott those engine spacers bill is selling of yours are they plastic or rubber ?

[@M5PerfHydros]

They're PETG printed plastics. PETG is stronger than PLA, higher temperature and much more chemically resistant

[@M5PerfHydros]

Plus they have a cool M5 Logo!
