Sea Commander build.

このボートについて
My Sea Commander kit build from a few years back. Runs very nicely and its quite a spritely model.
I am yet to decide on her name (names always puzzle me - I need to get a sense of this boat before deciding) and to add a few more details to her. The only issue found on first run was the rudder tube leaking at the tiller arm flange, purely as she stands up so high on the plane that a small burr on the tube was allowing water ingress as the transom dipped under full speed. Remedied with a file and some minor adjustments.
Will post a video when I get her back out on the pond, waiting for a few warmer days to come our way.
Cheers

She looks very nice, fair play.
Thanks for the info on your running gear etc, much appreciated.
I have to admit, I will be going brushless with all of mine though. Greater efficiency and longer run times are too much of a bonus. I do appreciate why you run brushed in yours though.
Welsh origins eh, that's interesting. I like your reasoning for the name.
Any idea which area of Wales? I'm right on the West coast of South West Wales, in Pembrokeshire.

Couple of updated pics, including her Welsh name “waves of the sea”. On a DNA test recently I found I have 20% Welsh origins, so I thought I’d honour that, and I think it kind of fits her Sea Commander kit name.
All the best with the refurbishment, look forward to seeing some pictures in the future.

Mine runs a brushed 750 size motor from caldercraft. Purchased and installed a similar spec motor for my brothers wave master a few months back as the caldercraft motors were hard to come by here in Aus(Not promoting caldercraft, it came in the kit). The non branded runs really well also. Picture attached if this helps.
I have just won a Sea Commander in need of some attention and finishing, so yours is very inspiring.
Can I ask what motor etc you are running in it please?

I’d like to make a map table / locker on the forward cockpit wall to sit over a scale fire extinguisher I’ve since added. Once I get back from work 😔 and complete the phantom build I might be able sneak some time to devote to finishing her.
Just don’t tell my missus! 😁
Cheers, Nerys
