    yup, water cooled electric motor.

    Never heard of that until I started looking at boats. Cool concept for sure!
    Waiting for another good one!

      Has a little hose behind the prop. Prop forces water up the hose and into this coil around the motor, then spits it out the port side of the boat. Cool concept!

      Waiting for another good one!

          Sweet! I've got one I bought back in the early 90's, but don't know if it would be worth buying new battery packs.

                Battery packs aren't that expensive. You should try it. I'm gonna take it to the INT tourneys to play with when the big boats aren't running

                              I thought about going there for my search but I know what would happen... It would die after about an hour and or it would get a ton of interference and run off on us, but basically, it would be a waste after a month for sure.
