I found this at a local consignment shop for $50. REALLY old Futaba electronics, I believe the battery bank is D cell, with an electronic / mechanical speed control. It may be Dumas? Not sure, but looks to be hand built and painted by someone. The prop still spins freely and is still attached to the old DC motor, which is a good sign. I realize I'd need to do some, perhaps a lot, of work on it. Wondering what the community thinks. Is it worth the cash, or time to get back in to working condition? Basically, is the hull and hardware worth $50, minus the electronics, which will likely need to be replaced? I have a few boats, but mainly play with things that crawl and race on land and air. That said, I wouldn't mind adding one more interesting water craft, to the collection.
