Sports fisherman yacht

[Capt Crunch]

Been working on a sports fisherman yacht
For a while now
My build is shoot in the dark as they call it
No plans no dimensions of this boat
When i first saw the dumas donzi z65 sports fisherman yacht
I wanted one
I waited for a dacade waiting hoping someone would sell
But nothing
I started asking around for any information
I could use to build my own fisherman yacht
Only to be ignored by everyone
The plans of this build is from the pictures i see the videos on youtube

First to figured out is how big of a boat is that dumas donzi
I thought its was 37 inchess in length and 11 inchess wide
Turns out that dumas is a 49 inchess x 13 inchess

So my build size ia 37 inchess x 11 inchess

Marine ply is used for the build

 

[Capt Crunch]

no i dea how many screws powering this type of boat
I thought it ws just a single screw speed boat
So i just bought those things they use in speed boats

 

[Capt Crunch]

Its hard to look for pictures of this boat

 

[Capt Crunch]

Apply some color and plans to power this up
Sealed the ply wood before painting lol
JUst to make it clear
Not just paint

I am thinking this will be a powered RC boat? It should like fine when finished out.

Yes rc boat with a burshless power
Atleast thats my plan

Playing with colors
I only see white decks of this boat
So ill keep it white deck

Final color
Cant find any better combination color
Than this
Acrylic window had a hard time
Patience with the heat gun
But again ita not tinted
Its ugly fugly
I need to tint this window

Very impressive build. It takes a fair bit of talent to construct a scale model without having a set of drawings.

Well done! I'm assuming it passed the leak test and will soon be cruising with it's RC motor!!!

Thanks for sharing!

I can honestly say its a butcherred power system
I dont think this boat should be like this
Now i wish i did my best in finding out the power system of this boat
All i could find was a speed boat
Since it looks like one
I thougth their would be the same

But looking at it
Doesnt look rigjt

Looks strong, sturdy and fast. Who's to say what aftermarket drive train folks put into their boats.

I like it!!

Trying for the scale looks of the boat lol
This power syatem doesnt look scale to me
Maybe someday ill changed that

 

[Kurt Konrath]

It will be in the water and not noticed by most, a big long boat needs good controls in back.

With a drive system set up like you have I don't think lack of speed is going to be an issue.
