Thinking about molding a RC Hull of an SC

[workinpr0gress]

A good buddy of mine and I grew up goofing off with Nitro RC 1/10 & 1/8 scale on and offroad cars n trucks. As I got a little older I raced strictly 1/8 & 1/10 on road awd 80 mph cars with a couple nitro boats sprinkled in. They are expensive and finicky no matter how much quality they are and how skilled you are with running and working on them.

So we get to having a few beers and he was reminiscing and said how he always wanted a boat but not nitro. He is really good with small engines like weedwacker motors and has a few we could easily convert. The hull is what we are kind of worried about. There are very few unique 40" to 60" hulls out there, for a mint. So I got to thinking that maybe a scaled down SC hull would run great as an rc , tending to track straight and having the right deadrise for what I want. The entry on rc's tend to be a little different than an actual boat. I do think I could get close enough to be happy. I'm thinking about starting with a foam block to make a rough plug then build a starting point for the hull keep, gluing, stiching, and fairing until I get the shape I want.

Anyone ever scale down an SC? I remember seeing a crossection about a foot at a time of the sc's on here somewhere. Anyone remember or have it?
