It is not easy to get these pictures, most are just water where the boat was

USA - Graupner Electro Vee running on 7.2 volts, normally runs on 8.4 volts
Your getting good performance if most of the boat is out of the water


Graupner "Systems" running on 14.4 volts


Marco's Villain, modified with twin Aquaspeed motors running on 7 cells
This boat took home the 2004 Season win trophy

The race course starts at the dock, around the outer edge of fountain #1, under the bridge and
around fountain #2, back around fountain #1 and #2 again then back to the dock.


Dan's Villain against the Kellogg's boat - Keith's Stinger against the Kellogg


The faster boat does not always win, this driver was closing the gap from an
earlier spin out, then when making the turn around fountain #1 spun out again
costing him the race.


First picture captured just before they collided, Top boat is a Viper that hit a Graupner
hydroplane which snapped the drive shaft.
Second picture is a modified Villain, the props were fowled with leaves which caused too
much resistance on the motors resulting in one of the batteries melting.
Right picture is the 2004 Elimination trophy winner


First two are a Stinger with high end ESC - Stock Villian

 
GP Stinger (old) and Viper - Stock Jet Arrow
