The classic gentleman's runabout represents the peak of luxury and speed from the 1920s and 1930s golden age of boating. This custom 125cm-long 3D-printable model captures that iconic era by blending the sleek lines, vertical plumb bows, and streamlined turtle-deck sterns found on historic American Hacker-Craft, Gar Wood, Chris-Craft, Dodge, and Century watercraft. The design is fully RC-ready out of the box, featuring a highly functional articulated rudder mechanism along with dedicated internal DC powertrain and servo motor mounts. For rapid maintenance at the lake, the model includes a massive, three-piece removable main deck hatch that provides wide-open interior access to your batteries and radio control electronics. Additionally, the driver's cockpit section is separately removable, seamlessly concealing a smaller inner access hatch directly underneath it for quick, localized maintenance to the mechanical drivetrain area.
3D printing settingsEngineered for easy assembly, the massive hull is split into primary segments specifically sliced to fit standard 250mm desktop print beds. The complete pack includes over 80 high-poly STL files alongside a pre-configured, full-color 3MF file for seamless multi-material slicing setup. Every interlocking part features heavy-duty built-in mounting flanges with pre-aligned guide holes, allowing you to use simple screws or cable ties to clamp the segments tightly together while your structural glue or epoxy sets. To further customize your build, the kit includes a premium set of standalone printable accessories like vintage windshield frames, mooring cleats, and deck hardware. The large three-piece main access hatch is also versatile, allowing you to secure it firmly to the hull using either two standard screws or hidden neodymium magnets for quick, toolless access between runs. As a major centerpiece addition, this file pack also comes complete with a detailed, scale-accurate miniature model of a legendary 27-liter, 4-cylinder Fiat marine racing engine to drop into your motor bay. (Some adjustments, shaping and drilling to the motor adapter plate are required)
