I watched from beginning to end with out stopping!!! It wasn’t that boring!! You showed us how to identify when moisture gets past the epoxy into the wood. I did like how structural strong the boat is, but when you took pieces of boat structure off they just popped off!! Pretty cool!! Great video!!!
I took a shot like that back in Finley. Luckily i had a carbon fiber hull so i put on a band aid and sent it back out. Tail feathers went confetti though. I'm glad to see you're fixing her back up instead of tossing her in the trash. At least for me it makes for good watching. Good luck on the rebuild and revenge tour man!
Still watching Scott,I'm learning how not to cut my finger off and cut myself with a exacto knife always learning something I will always watch until the end 👍☕ have a nother cup
OMG 😳😱😳😱😳😱 my favorite boat, you masher,you crasher. lol hope you got insurance hehehe man that's bad.but it's ok your your the best builder and fixer ever. Good luck
Took a cold brewskie to watch, but I made it to the end. You were correct, long and boring! But it's good for a newb like me to watch and learn. Makes my repairs less intimidating! Keep it up
Hard to believe that's not a write off, looking forward to seeing it come together. Your videos inspired me to start my first build, which I am half way through, so your channel is growing the hobby.
As for your solution of adding L-shaped plywood doublers to reinforce the thick bulkhead where it snapped, maybe a few strips of lightweight fiberglass would do the trick in a more elegant fashion. Just an ideia. 😁
Well, I made to the end of the video! 😉 Love watching this, even though it was real painful to watch (and hear) plywood and stringers being torn off. When watching all this carnage, I had more than a few moments when I thought "But why?" Personally, I would have put that boat on a shelf as a souvenir of RC racing, and built myself a brand new one. But that's me... I don't have the kind of patience you have Scott! Keep them video's comin'!
That's tedious work. You might you made a comment about what would make it harder. well if you use the butterknife instead of the little blade that you was using. that might make it harder. Ha. Awesome work. Thanks for your instructive videos. Even if 1 is watching its well worth the time to spark interest in our hobby.
Awesome work! Since we didn't get to see the full build of the Stroh, we now get to see how it's made through reverse engineering 😂. Puns apart, it is looking good. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Aha! That's exactly the point I was hoping people would see... That you can always figure out how to fix it by reverse engineering what the builder had done. Good observation!
Love these videos. Now I want to build one. I do live in western Washington so I should give it a shot. I grew up going to sea fair in the late 90’s so I love the modern boats. Any advice or resources to look into? Keep the videos coming.

I was looking forward to this rebuild! I too have the prints for everything i ever built, it's a given to seasoned builders like us! I'll be watching the series for sure. Love your work man!
Watched and enjoyed your video. Have been enjoying your dynamic "Spielberg" type productions off and on for a while. was thinking of getting into your hobbie for a while, but alass, my schedule currently will not allow. Just a short note to let you know of a term for the type / style of construction that you use. It is called "torssion box". You may already know this, but it is the same "type" of construction used in aircraft, and to a certain extent boat building. Frames , stringers, covered with a "structural" skin. very strong, very light weight, and as you have often noted, one ounce can make the difference going down the back stretch. Any way, really enjoy all your video's Maybe some day I will be able to compete with you. Later Dave K.
Hi Vinnie, I'm fine now, thanks. The crud took me down for two weeks, but I'm back at it now. I have a lot to show you... eventually. With nearly seven hours of build video to edit, it's gonna take a minute or two to get it down to something watchable

I have a question I'm having a problem with burning up my Teflon liner .I am using marine grease is there anything else I can use for a flex shaft liner.
I'm totally amazed at your work. Been following you for a while now. I love the advice given while doing your builds. Have a question for you! Building an ML Boatworks Hydroplane GSX 380V2 electric I'm sure you're familiar with. Looking for speeds around 70, what motor and esc would you recommend. Happy Thanksgiving
Thanks for the kind words, but I think I'm going to disappoint you... The only electric hydros I work with are scales that require specific motor/batteries under our club rules. These boats are 1/8 scale and probably average in the 62 - 65 mph range, but only because they are limited in prop size as well. You will very easily run 70mph with your GSX!!
To much work NOT! When I started building in the 60's I traced PATTERNS of the parts on butcher before starting the build JUST IN CASE OF the inevitable DRIVER ERROR , GOOD WORK SCOTT. NOT BORING AT ALL
I watched all of it nearly watched them all now
Uh oh, I'd better make more!
I watched it all and I'm liking it!
Good show
Thanks David, and thanks for watchin'!
Enjoying every minute of it...
Thanks Andre, even when I know you're full of it!
@@M5PerfHydros i did you showed me how to fix apart of my boat and not be afraid to take it apart....
Very good! That's what I was hoping people would see... It's not that scary
This is so awesome to watch. Not so good for the crash. Thanks for making all of your videos. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the rebuild.
Thanks Dustin!
Looking forward to how you do what you do
Thanks Richard, I'll try not to disappoint
Good video mate, watched till the end with no fast forward.
Heck even I fast forwarded it!
Love the video Scott.
Thanks. You must be a glutton for punishment!
@@M5PerfHydros Oh yea of course I'm sure others would agree 😉.
As always I always enjoy your vids.
Thanks James. A lot more to come!

Thanks Rick, but if you didn't find the video to be boring I worry about you a little bit! 🤣
DIG IT; Keep it up kid!!
I'm on it
Looking forward to watching the next repair video 👍
Thanks Jordy!
I took a shot like that back in Finley. Luckily i had a carbon fiber hull so i put on a band aid and sent it back out. Tail feathers went confetti though.

It happens to everyone sooner or later. I've had a long run of good luck so I guess it was my turn! She'll be right as rain in no time!
I'm sure it will. I'm building a wood kit this winter for the first time so I'll be glued to your channel
Great video :)
Still watching Scott,I'm learning how not to cut my finger off and cut myself with a exacto knife always learning something I will always watch until the end 👍☕ have a nother cup
I'm still here going to watch every episode
Thanks Vinnie. I promise it gets better as we go!
I enjoy your commentary.
You brought enough enthusiasm to make a menial task a major event.
Bravo!
Thanks Tom!
I am still here sir, and enjoying every minute. You make it look to easy 👍
It's not hard fixing a little scratch!
OMG 😳😱😳😱😳😱 my favorite boat, you masher,you crasher. lol hope you got insurance hehehe man that's bad.but it's ok your your the best builder and fixer ever. Good luck
I know, I know, I'm so ashamed! 😜
Don't worry... Good as new in no time
Just do the whole thing over. Every time you take a piece out you're killing me. LoL 😂😂😂
What?!? Do it over?!? It's just a scratch...
@@M5PerfHydros just a scratch????? If that was my boat and some one hit it I'll 😭😢😭😢😭😢 all that work and time. Remember it's not nascar. 😂
Took a cold brewskie to watch, but I made it to the end. You were correct, long and boring! But it's good for a newb like me to watch and learn. Makes my repairs less intimidating! Keep it up
I'm on it!
Learning alot from your videos. Really do appreciate your time to create these videos and willingness to share your experience with all of us.
Thanks Jeff!
Hard to believe that's not a write off, looking forward to seeing it come together. Your videos inspired me to start my first build, which I am half way through, so your channel is growing the hobby.
I am super happy to hear that I've inspired your build, but sad that you think the Stroh is a throwaway over a little scratch! 😆
Cool vid. Making repairs is more challenging than building from scratch. You're excellent at both!
Thanks Adam!
As for your solution of adding L-shaped plywood doublers to reinforce the thick bulkhead where it snapped, maybe a few strips of lightweight fiberglass would do the trick in a more elegant fashion. Just an ideia. 😁
Naw... I think that might look tacky. I have an idea though, and you'll see it in real time
Watched it in total, great work as always enjoyed every bit appreciate your time making this video for us to see.
Thanks Ron... So much more to do...
I've got my butt on the couch, got my coffee at arm's length. Man, I'm ready for this crash repair vid!
Well, I made to the end of the video! 😉 Love watching this, even though it was real painful to watch (and hear) plywood and stringers being torn off.

I can't believe you'd throw the boat away over a little scratch!
@@M5PerfHydros 😁
Watched to the very end and I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see the videos when it starts going back together.
Me too!
That's tedious work. You might you made a comment about what would make it harder. well if you use the butterknife instead of the little blade that you was using. that might make it harder. Ha. Awesome work. Thanks for your instructive videos. Even if 1 is watching its well worth the time to spark interest in our hobby.
Great idea Steve, I'll try it!
I used to play with models...😂
You said it, not me! Er, wait.... maybe I did say it...

From start to finish just took me 3 days

There you go!
good job Scott. Sad to see you have to go thru this but you have an opportunity to show people how to do it right.

Thanks for the note Dave. It's nice to know that my style of construction has a name besides just being anal!
24 minutes in and i just absolutely feel obligated to finish watching…….
Attaboy Chuck!
Hallo can i put some plastic 1mm on the back side where makes contact with the water greetings
Do you sell copies of the plans? I would be interested in purchasing them.
No longer selling the plans, sorry. Design your own! If I can do it, anyone can!
When they built HMS victory they made everything twice just in case ...
That's a great story, but I looked it up and can't find any evidence of that 😜!
Hallo why you dont use some carbon fiber pieces greetings
I have built fully carbon fiber boats before, but I prefer to with wood
Hey I'm still here waiting for the next episode are you okay
Hi Vinnie, I'm fine now, thanks. The crud took me down for two weeks, but I'm back at it now. I have a lot to show you... eventually. With nearly seven hours of build video to edit, it's gonna take a minute or two to get it down to something watchable
hallo question how can a big servo no more work after 4years laying their he dont work any more 40dollar in the trash greetings
It should still work fine
Awesome video as usual Scott, I will be sure to make patterns for the GSX470 when I start the build. Do you have a link for the blades your using?

Thanks Tom!
Scott you have footage of the crash ???? I want to see you match up The paint. And no I didn't watch the whole thing I skipped
I don't, doggone it!
Ovs
No
