I am going to make an RC boat. Build the hull and everything. I have most of the other stuff(since I already have an RC truck)but will still have to buy some stuff. It will be around 50"(at least 42). If am body makes boat hulls and has some tips, I would appreciate it. I am gonna go with a wooden hull, most likely a 1/8" wood/plywood of some sort, not sure what type of wood yet. I am also gonna do a layer of fiber glass. I will paint and seal the outside, along with caulk all the seams on the wood. Any pointers would be helpful as I have never attempted this before.

Well, I am the guy that sees a push mower, weed whacker, leaf blower on the side of the road, and I pick it up, running or not. And I have a homelite leaf blower, but I mean, I don't need a leaf blower. But I do like the engine part of it. So, what do have think would be cool to make. I am putting a 5hp Briggs on a pedal bike this summer, so I don't wanna put it on a bike. I have heard the blender idea, not a fan, I was kinda think about getting big tires and building an off-road skate board but I'm not sure I would ever like that. I have heard make a generator with an alternator, but I have a generator.

So what ideas do you guys have? I don't wanna sell it or throw it away I wanna build something.

Thought a little about using a leaf blower as a super charger...
