Trying to figure out the proper scale boat to build this below. What would like a 36' or 40' boat size scale out to on 1/14?

36'x12"=432" Divide by scale 14 =30.857"

That would be an interesting trailer and load. I'm guessing you are looking to build one, based on the question about the low profile wheels and tires? :D

I would like to build one yes :-) I may have to resort in paying a more talented person from here to build it for me.

In my search to do something no one else had done before,I had very seriously considered building a hauler for a Unlimited Hydro a couple years ago, but it never came to be.

Something along these lines

Thats awesome. I think I am going to build around this 34" boat we sell as I have one I used for a demo :D Plus I do like the scaleness of the boat

I'm not a boat, much less a water person, but that's freakin' sha-weet !!

OK, I admit.. you got my wheels turning now.

Yeah, I totally dig that Venom King of Shaves! I was so close to buying one, but alas, I reality checked myself and realized I did not need an RC boat hobby to go with every other hobby I have too! I drew the line there. :D
