John,

Your not going to piddle on my parade. If it works fine if it dosen't, oh well. Like Edsion said, he found out 100 different ways how not to make a light bulb.

I see were your going with the catch twenty two. The only reason I'm using air props is the occasional seaweed that gets hung up on the props.

You don't mind if I try to prove you wrong do you? :D

HS93,

I've seen all the latest on the lipo batteries and motors.

I'm just having a bit of fun here by trying to use some surplus stuff and throwing it together to see if it'll work. If it dosen't then I guess I'll have to build a steam powered boat for the following year.

Thanks guys. Appreciate your input, but being the block head I am, I'm going to continue. You guys have the reserved right to tell me "I told you so" later. :lol:

Bernd,

I would love it if you prove me wrong, then you can say 'I told you so'.

HS93:
who said li pol's ? they work just as well on gell cells.

Peter,

I've been following an airboat forum and they use the brushless motors and lipo cells. These guys are going for speed. One has reached 98mph. All you see is a streek across the water. To me that's not much fun. I like it slow and easy. Comes with age you know. :lol:

I've looked at all that new tech stuff in electronic controls. Really fascinating stuff, a bit expensive too.

I'm going to keep going with this. I just have to prove Bog's wrong or right. :lol: :lol:

Hi Bernd, I was just going through and looking at old posts, my condolences on your Dad passing, I wasn't able to get to my parents for Christmas, and my Mom is not doing well, so I know it hits hard.
Regarding technical things, nicrome wire is in fact a stainless steel, just a very special one, designed for heat, so it won't be bettered by ordinary stainless wire. I hope you get enough power out of your motors, but if not, you can always change over, the brushless ones are substantially more efficient. Spring is getting closer every day. All in all, it either works, or you just have to work on it more, until it does, so keep shuffling forward. :poke: mad jack
