RC Jet Boat

Custom 3D Printed RC Jet Boat

This project has been worked on by Reuben O’Brien and Martin Lambrechtse-Reid

Motivation

The University project showed potential but the hull design was limited by the autonomous components. With this design, the aim was to create the optimal 3D printed boat that could be used on rapids, jumps and on waves.
