Perkasa MTB - help needed - Page 3

woodallaitch · 04-07-2005

Hi...I am a new member, just joined, and I also have a uncontrollable interest in all types of MTB's and the KD Perkasa's. My quiery is, are you from Stourbridge in the west midlands UK?. If you are, I am just round the corner, in Cradley Heath. I also am just about to start my next project, which is, wait for it, a Perkasa. I hope I can be of help via this forum, also I hope that you members out there will be helpful to me. I know a little bit about MTB's, but nearly Zero about Perkasa's. Anyway, enough rambling, hope to talk in the future...Aitch.

Hi
I am new to this forum and have been following this post with interest. I built a Perkasa boat by Precedent a few years ago.
The model was originally powered by a 6.5 cc Moki Marine engine which has now been stripped out and replaced with a 600 Graupner electric motor and speed
controller,much easier to operate.When i have worked how i will post some images.

Hi
Nice to know the pics work adzam, this boat was built about 15yrs ago and retired after motor problems. The model is 49" long and has a fibreglass hull and plywood deck and cabin .
Can anyone tell me if this kit is still available as i have not seen one here in recent times and have found that when i run the boat at our club it attracts
a lot of interest an am always asked where it can be obtained?
It is good to know that there is still a lot of interest in this type of boat and modern parts are available for it as the original kit parts are very outdated by todays standards. Its great to see roland building his Perkasa and look forwood to seing his progress.
My Perkasa was rebuilt about 2yrs ago and converted to electrics and i must say it was well worth the effort.
It now has a revolving radar ,working nav and running lights, a siren sound system and am now building a new stand to replace the crappy old one. Now i know how to post photos, i will post some closeups and shots of the original boat.
