Prototype wood kit

[Don Wollard]

Here is one of our new Mono's which we will soon put out in a wood kit. This boat handles like a dream.

all i have to say is INCREDIBLE, and i will be gettin one of these kits as soon as availible, how much $$$$$????!!!! i cant wait

is the hardware custom fullers? what prop is working best? on what motor? where is that hatch from?

[B.K. Foster]

That looks amazingly like "The Other" Bryan's new boat. No wonder you are so busy, you are building two of everything. LOL
I hope it kicks wake in Michigan.
Regards, Bryan

The hardware is custom Fuller's. Ray special made the bracket for this new series boat. Special new strut, also. I really like what he came up with.

Brian Vega will be running this boat in Offshore N-2 with a Brushless motor. The prop shown is a new Stainless Steel RR prop which will soon be available from RumRunnerHobbies.com These props really kick butt.

One last pic. The is is the final Prototype for this version before we put the kit out. If it does good in Michigan, there will be a bunch of them at the Nats.

We have a smaller version coming also. Its best suited for a can motor or Lightning Man Neo. The first run of these kits is later in the week. In the event they assemble as nice as I hope, this boat will be available in about 2 - 3 weeks.

What can I say but, "Wood Boats Still rule"!

I'm sorry, I'm Australian, its our sense of humour, it has a lot to do with the sun we're told but I have to say that is one of the hottest looking hulls of seen but the canopy extension in the first picture would make it top heavy or is it helium filled, is that the secret, this awesome machine is actually out of area 51 isn't it, brilliant boat shame about the flora.

The lid is very light. It was made from foam, wood and expoxy. The production version will likely look the same since I have receive a lot of compliments on that one. Not sure of the production version material yet. Likely either reinforced epoxy or ABS.

No problem with your sense of humor. I have relatives from your country. Is that good?

Our Flora is very green now - its our rain season (Tropical) and its HOT and HUMID.

Don't you mean www.ruMrunnerhobbies.com?

And what about the cat? that looks awsome, is it next or after a rigger?~Alex

[Don Wollard]

The Rum Runner Rigger Fleet has been re-designed and improved for the newer power we are running this season. After the Nationals we will make a decision on kitting these, if any. A suitable production method has to be developed. My riggers are NOT easy to build and they are indeed not for beginners. We have had a lot of interest in very fast SAW boats - this is also a possibility however I would only sell such equipment factory rigger and water tested. And yes! Big $$$$. I have 12 orders pending so far which is almost beyond my capacity this season. Chris Harris will assist me with Tub production so hopeful all can be produced in time for the US Time trials.

We will offer 'exclusively' the new HammerHead rigger's. These are very custom boats in Glass, wood and composites. Should be available for shipping in about 60 days. There will be a 6-8 cell, 12 cell and 18 cell versions. These boats are very sharp and worth waiting for.

Further boat development is planned to continue for some time. How's this one - a Classic Design race boat. 24 inches long and suitable for 6 - 12 cells. This boat is absolutely beautiful. Its a wood boat kit, only. This boat is a replica of the Baby Boot legger and is being developed for us by Garry F.

We have 3 racing Mono's. 21", 22.5" and 24". First in laser cut wood kits and later in S-Glass.

We are finishing developing a series of Classic design scale Hydro's, the Modern Turbine Tide and a super-sleek surprise. All from 22" all the way up to 36". The Cads are being prepared presently for the Laser Cutter. No time line yet but should not take a lot longer for this line.

We will like to do a Catt if i can talk one of our designer's into it. Perhaps by fall - no promises, yet.

Much work ...coming along day by day.

[Dan Chase]

Click the Rum Runner Hobbies banner at the top of the page, then go to hulls.

[Don Wollard]

Thx Dan.

Spawn_X - here is a better pic. http://www.rumrunnerhobbies.com/boats.htm

Also some set-up pics are in the gallery section at; http://www.rumrunnerhobbies.com/gallery.htm

We expect to be ready to ship the N-1 / N-2 hull later in the month (we hope). The Offshore hull which will run in N-2 Offshore, N-2 Mono, and O Mono will be out sometime in Sept.

Both boats will be done in wood kits, laser cut. Either boat can be built on your kitchen table in a weekend.
