The Huntsman is, for me, what a motor cruiser SHOULD look like. Beautiful sweeping lines. I can tell your model is accurate, it rides just like the real thing. I should know, we had one back in the 70’s

Never seen this one, both real or r/c. At first I thought the video couldn’t be better than the stills, but man, that wake is excellent, and she behaves breathtakingly beautiful in the water. Hats off and much more!!

That is so nice. I dont think I have ever seen a RC model glide on the water as smooth as this. Hats off mate. I'm a professional model ship builder, nautical museum curator, 28 years full time. Good job.

That is exactly right. Just the right "sit" in the water, with what looked like scale speed. Very nice indeed.

Hi , nice boat ,I built a wooden kit back in 1974 ,with a glow plug 60 and tuned pipe in it and went like a rocket , but enlarged the spray rails up from scale size and raced it . I met a chap in Poole park with two little boys ,who had a real one and we talked for ages , cut along story short , and 15 years later I built the fiberglass one and back on Poole park lake a chap came up to me and said I have a lager one of those and he had built 2 models for his sons , went on to say about a guy he met years ago on this lake and his boat was running at around 3 times faster scaled up on speed than his real one . I replied than was me and you had a very nice dark blue Jaguar car . well 2 real boats and a few more years , I purchased a Scorpion rib and those were built by a Mr JELLY , who had a company who re built and refitted Fairey boats and the ribs run very much the same as the real Fairey boats and so far on our second Scorpion it runs like a rocket and the sea keeping is spot on . Thanks for the video and a very nice model and a credit to you . The fiber glass model is still in the garage and has not run for years but has a brand new 90 glow engine ready to go in with it,s tuned pipe . Long live FAIREY BOAT ,large and scale .

That would have to be one of the nicest planing RC boats I've seen. Couple of Barbie dolls on the foredeck, Tony Soprano figurine at the helm, job done!

Hi Martin. Love the boat. Iam building one and thoroughly enjoying it. How did you get the waterline so neat.

Yeah would be great to know the set up as you see to have it spot on. I am restoring my Father in Laws but the setup will not plane. Needs more revs I think.

Seeing as no one else has replied to help you, I would suggest that you install a brushless outrunner motor and the appropriate speed controller and li-po battery. I use a model car ESP with a cooling fan already mounted on it as it saves using water cooling. Hope this helps.

Is this from the Vic Smeed plan?

Probably from the SLEC/Precedent kit. It certainly looks like one of those..... 2 sizes available. A 46 inch long one, and a smaller one.... This looks like the 46 inch one..... I have a Vic Smeed Moonglow boat, which I built from a Dutch RBC kit. I wasn't aware he did a Huntsman.
