56″ Apache hull from Aeromarine Laminates with Chief Powerboat theme. Running across Sheridan Lake BC doing 30mph (chase boat speed) with full throttle bursts to 41mph. Modified Zenoah engine, Performance Unlimited head and piston kit, Voodoo prop and quite tuned pipe, WHH Spd Drive III, Bonzi clutch and Garmin GPS. Ran a toatal of 45 miles on the lake at an elevation of 3768 feet above sea level. Dialing in the carb from sea level settings to the elevation of this lake was a tad tricky. ***Update – changed the Walbro WT289 for a non modified WT257 carb and reached speeds of 54mph.

Sheridan Lake BC
Great Boat!! What body of water is this?
I use the Warehouse Hobbies fuel tank and get about 30-45minutes runtime.
great boat .could you tell me what size fuel tank you use and how long that it will run it flat out .. cheers
wow thats crazy, i just can’t stop watching the vid, its just amazing.
Nope lots of gas, thats just part of the shot I used to end the clip with. We were turning slightly left when we went straight and I maintained the turn on the RC boat. We actually ran 12 miles and burned 3/4 of a tank.
what happened at the end did it just run out of gas??
Old ski boat maxed out at 30mph and the RC boat was 41mph.
that was amazing!!!! wow i can’t believe the boat kept up with your boat, how fast were you going???
Now that is full action rc, thx got me wanting to build another one !!!!
