that black Coors light boat, that one just keeps catching my eye what a beautiful boat.... or should I say plane....⚓😏💯

[@M5PerfHydros]

I agree!

[@ricardoprieto7124]

I'm from Spain...and follow you from a few months....and I'm learning a lot with your work....and sometimes is the only way to know the rc boats races... 😊

[@1965WHYTE]

Always love your videos Scott thank you 👍

[@snipervision1]

Oh boy! Like I need another RC hobby. Loved the video!

[@M5PerfHydros]

Come on... Let's race!!

U-77 was originally "Miss Wahoo" roundnose with mahogany decks. Here it appears to be the 1971 "country boy"

[@weathervanerc8147]

Great video. Makes me want to get my glow powered hydro running again.

[@M5PerfHydros]

Bring it out.... Let's race!

[@weathervanerc8147]

M5 Performance Hydroplanes Scott Meyers Would love to. I believe you are out west. That’s a long drive from Baltimore.

@@M5PerfHydros where our west are ya? I’ve inherited my fathers full scale nitro hydro “the thousand trails”. Could use any and all Info or help in getting it going again so I could race it! Thanks in advance and I’d be happy to send pics of her

Those boats are looking so nice 😎😎😎😎 I just got into boats. I just purchased my first one. I have the Miss Geico 36' Catamaran.

[@M5PerfHydros]

Awesome! Grab some friends and go racing!

[@dennisbrown6502]

that would be the Miss Country boy.

[@okiedoak201]

Wow... always a great video. And a lot of beautiful boats.... So..I have been a boater from days gone by and notice the tunnel hull segment seems to be non existent...what happened to that..

[@M5PerfHydros]

I'm sure they are still running somewhere, but our club is committed to replicating full-size unlimited hydroplanes so you won't find any tunnel hulls here!

[@stewartfrye]

No "Sunshine Baby" lived on lake Magouire in St Petersburg, Fl and rooted for sunshine baby held alot of speed records. a shame not represented here

[@M5PerfHydros]

Sunshine Baby didn't race as an unlimited, so it's not a legal hull to race in this division. But... It would be a fun build so why not build it yourself? You can do it!

[@fuhkoffandie]

any hydroplane clubs around here? oh yeah, Cocoa Beach Melbourne FL. area

[@salvadordollyparton666]

Shows how insane real unlimited boats are, scaled down rc boats look exactly the same without a frame of reference.🤣🤣🤣

[@M5PerfHydros]

That's the idea. We have strict rules in our club where our boats must be very close representations of the real boats

[@monsterg4603]

where can i find plans to build hydros like this. what a nice club

[@M5PerfHydros]

If you're just looking for plans so you can scratch build your own boat, Newton Marine has a huge selection here; www.newtonmarine.com/ The best place I know of to buy pre-cut wood kits is MLBoatworks; mlboatworksrc.com/ Many good fiberglass boats and cowlings are also available from RC Boat Company; rcboatcompany.com/ Between these three you should be able to find almost anything you'd want!

[@monsterg4603]

M5 Performance Hydroplanes - Scott Meyers thank you.

haha, I ran out of like thumbs.... Hey, you need to give yourself some credit my friend. have you noticed all the people in the comment section, that are asking you how they can get started into RC hydroplane racing? anybody who builds up the sport, is okay in my book. ⚓😏👍💯💯💯 keep doing what you do, lifetime sub here, btw

[@M5PerfHydros]

Thanks. Hope your thumbs heal up soon!

[@RBAERO]

Very nice video. Those rc modern hydroplanes has movement on the canard as the full scale?

[@M5PerfHydros]

A few people have tried it with limited success. You just can't react fast enough

[@web3036]

Scott I'm so glad I found your videos where can I get one of these hydroplane who makes them? thanks for your time

[@M5PerfHydros]

I'll be honest, it's a little bit difficult to get started racing scale replica hydroplanes. All of the boats you see here are custom built by hand, and not something you can buy in any store. The best way to start is to find and follow the various clubs on Facebook or other media and watch for boats coming up for sale. Maybe check the racing schedules of any clubs in your area and go hang out at the races, ask questions, get to know the guys, and you'll often find boats for sale on the spot. A few links to get you started; The largest scale hydroplane racing club in the world; m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=102604076461718&ref=content_filter A builder of fiberglass scale hydroplanes who will build you a complete boat if you want all new; rcboatcompany.com An excellent maker of wood hydroplane kits; woodrcboatkits.com An excellent supplier of all the hardware, motors, radios, etc that you would need to build and maintain a boat; www.allrc1.com

M5 Performance Hydroplanes Scott Meyers thank you for the info and reply....

[@ricardoprieto7124]

Hi good man.... 😊What's the difference between the long air intake or short intake.. In a hydro like a miss budweiser..... Is showing in this video.... Thanks

[@M5PerfHydros]

On the full-size "real" unlimited hydroplanes the longer intake was developed for use when racing on salt water. Salt water spray from the sponsons would otherwise enter the airstream doing great damage to the turbine engines. A certain amount of fresh water spray is harmless, so in those environments the longer intake is removed to reduce weight, increase airflow and thus, power. Generally when you see an r/c guy use the longer intake it is because another racer "owns" the registration rights to boat that uses the shorter intake. In our club, only one model of each version of the boat is allowed to race. I hope that answers your question? Thanks for watching!

[@ricardoprieto7124]

@@M5PerfHydros yes... I know in the real boats is for this..for the salt water...when the water dry..the salt remains there, and it is like sand... the turbines don't like eat this ☺️ In the model, the long intake is very beautiful and make realistic look... Is a pleasure read and listen your words. I'm learning a lot. 😊👍

[@guitarcleveland]

How long can you run a nitro boat out of water before the engine gets too overheated? What happens when it does get overheated?

[@M5PerfHydros]

Well I hope I never find out! The boat should be placed in the water as quickly as possible after starting. The engines are surprisingly robust, but you can definitely destroy one if you run it on the shore for long!

[@guitarcleveland]

@@M5PerfHydros Thanks. I have a really old boat with a Rossi .61 engine. I only had it running for about 30 trying to mess with the needle valve and the engine froze up. I don't see any other way to tune the engine out of water.

[@M5PerfHydros]

Oops... 30 minutes is about 29 minutes too long! Whenever I need to run an engine for a long time in the shop I just run water to it from a faucet. I force a large piece of rubber hose over the spigot and use reducers to step the hose size down to the very small size of the fittings on the engine. Now just run a trickle of water through it and run as much as you want. I'm sorry that happened but believe me when I tell you that I've made a great many costly mistakes myself in the past! Live and learn.... Get another one and get after it again!

[@guitarcleveland]

@@M5PerfHydros thanks for the info. It was running for 30 seconds, actually, not minutes
