New in Our Posession!!!

Fortunately we managed to get this Powerboat in our posession.
After our 1.85m Class One EPV Offshore powerboat crashed,
we thought about building a new project,
till someone told us that he had a Christonn Christo 03 Catamaran
for sale.

With 2 Plettenberg HP 370BM/50/A1S motors in it.
Also the hardware and the steering servo where in it.
The only thing was that he didn't have any speed controllers.
That was no problem for us, as we still had the 2 Schulze 40.160 WK left from the 1.85 cat.

After Peter and i spoke to each other about the price we decided to
Buy this baby.
Soon we will mount all the electronics so we can make the first test runs.

01-01-2006 Testing day.

We finaly had time to finish the boat.
Befor we could run the boat, we had to make sure that every thing was ok.
We also wanted to have an Data Acquisition system onboard,
so we can see what happends on a run.
Below you can see the first pictures of the test run.
