We at Dumas are pleased to be able to take you back to an era of elegance. In 1946 Sparkman and Stevens designed a 66 ft. commuter boat for the express purpose of carrying commuters down the Hudson River into New York. What a glorious way to beat the traffic. These commuters were used by their owners as everyday transportation to and from work, and for pleasure trips to their favorite spots. The most famous of these commuters was the Dauntless. The Dauntless was owned by a prominent New York family. They undoubtedly considered the Dauntless a great diversion from their day to day business dealings. The days of the Dauntless are gone but you can bring them back. The Dauntless features top quality construction materials. The kit is made almost entirely of 1/8 in. mahogany plywood. All parts are cleanly die-cut, and we have included a variety of detail parts including 38 cast metal fittings. The size of the Dauntless leaves the door wide open for different powering methods. The obvious choices would be scale electric power, high speed electric power, or twin gas power, but you may have your own ideas. Use running hardware kit #2332 for all twin screw, twin power methods in the Dauntless.

Hi,
Please advise if the Dumas dauntless can be installed with single screw electric power, and cost of shaft, prop and rudder.
Many thanks
Asked by David on 8th November 2016
Dumas reccomend a twin 6v motor setup. However, you'd probably be able to run a single screw setup if you prefer - this would be something you'd need to modify yourself though.

i would kike to build this and make a rc model my question is what glue would i use for outdoor use
Asked by Trevor Pitt on 29th August 2021
You'd want to use MDP5524821 Aliphatic glue to assemble.
Once built I'd then seal with sanding sealer GLDCEX1100250 and a varnish used to waterproof model.
