Did anyone else hear a time of 1.83? Presumably to 60?

blooody hell, ive always wanted to make one of those hydrofoil boats, theres usually plans on ebay. novelty does start to wear off after a few goes though.....

Seen that a load of times. Its damned quick! The one i had for sale a few months back would be nearly as fast with the right engine in...

Nitro RC cars will easily hit 60 in just over a second

My last boat was a little offshore "v" with a tuned CMB Valvola 3.5cc motor through a reduction gearbox. 36,000 rpm! 65% nitromethane 20% methanol, 15% Klotz oil. £60/gallon! Cheap hobby! That's why I swapped to real cars!!
