This huntsman is being restored back to its former glory, I am using all the original fittings as much as possible to bring back this lovelly boat so it can be adored by all the group of east park: shows the boat's paint been treated using a gentle chemical solution. photo shows pretty heavy damage to the bow which resulted in the bow decking needing a lot of attention. shows the engine, this is a Merco .61 nitro r/c engine made around 1960 in its day these engines were a top class precision engine, winning speed tournaments around the globe in both aircraft and boats. The build is well on its way,just the hull to be painted and the top cabin finished, the engine has all been plumbed in to accept the water coolant feed to the cylinder head and it has now a water cooled exhaust system
