PROUD WEST COAST DISTRIBUTORS
of the new Warehouse Hobbies Classic Thunder Boat and
components.
Place your orders now and be the first on the coast to have this
beautifully crafted and fast boat.
Designed for all out competition our CTB-1
features the hull based on our record setting Stingray Hydro
hull. The CTB-1 has been modeled under IMPBA and NAMBA rules to
be competition legal under these sanctioned race events. We
loosely based this design on the full size Valu-mart and
Schweppes hydros raced in the 60s featuring a french-cut nose.
We are sure you will not only dominate the racing field with
sheer performance, but with authentic scale appearence also.
Many accessories are available to make your CTB-1 look like its
full size counterpart. This first boat in our Classic
Thunderboat series will include one of two rear wings of your
choice.

Note:
Due to the high demand of this model, as of 4/28/08 we
are roughly 3-4 weeks behind and urge you to put orders in promptly so
you can have your own CBT-1 for this season. At this time the hull only
is available. Ready to Run CTB-1 production should start in early June.
If you are using this oat for competition purposes, the rules are clear
as follows: Classic
Thunderboat Rules
Engine choice must be Zenoah G260PUM as
purchased out-of-box with the only modification permitted, a WT257 Carb.
We will offer two legal race engines, with or without clutch. Tuned pipe
with silencer is also mandatory for competition use. All race legal
engines will be identified with a CTBRL product number. For those who
want to build a custom Classic Thunderboat where the sky is the limit,
we recommend our popular M5 engine that will push this boat upwards of
60MPH.

A couple of months ago we received a phone call from one of our
dealers in Washington state named Gary Rose. Gary purchases Enforcer boats and products
for his son and Two hobby shops www.hobbyoutlets.com.
Gary owns and operates our Stingray hydro and is thrilled by the performance of
that model. He called to make Tony aware of a new class of competition gas boats
called Classic Thunderboats and how he thought the Stingray hull could be easily
modified to resemble a few of the original full size classic hydro's of the day.
He sent Tony many pictures showing the growth of the class and the beautiful boats
that the competitors are building and running.
