1954 hydroplane

well not built in 1954 ,but taken from a pratical mechanics magazine from 1954 of a one person hydroplane boat that uses a 5to10hp outboard motor, i'm hoping to build one oneday but i wanted to test one so i built this one as per the original design,the outboard on the model does push the hydro along ,this i moded with 380 motor, running on 8.4volt 900mah ae size cells, supatec micro servo , standard 2 chan rx 15amp speedo.the yellow one is a modern design from the states.
