A boat from the past (R.I.P)

Manufacturer: Academy
Type: Triton (offshore powerboat)
Length x Width: 76 x 26cm
Weight: 2.45kg

Motor: 1x700 BB turbo
(formerly 2x standaard 540 motor)
Speed controller: Robbe rsc 560
Battery pack: 2x 6 cells 2000mah

This was the first boat of my dads.
The first time we  took it for a spin, were astonished by the fast turns it made.
A disadvantage was that the top speed dropped, when the boat turns. That's why my dad bought the Graupner B-24.
It's better in speed, and the speed doesn't drop back when the boat turns.

Also several changes (the standard motors were replaced by one 700BB turbo neodym, the prop was placed in front of the rudder, and the motor was linked directly to the axle through a flexible coupling) didn't improve the behaviour.
There was just no way to make this boat go faster.
To improve boyancy we even fiiled the hull up with polyuretane foam.
Well, after this things really went wrong. Instead of improving boyancy, it turned into a submarine.
The foam caused the whole hull to split apart. Unfortunately, this spelled the end of the boat.
