Collecting model ships is one of the world's oldest hobbies. It is a hobby that covers the entire world, and as such has its own universal language of history and humanity. Many cultures see model ships in a different light, using them for diverse purposes. However, the technology of today allows for further advancement in the hobby of wooden model boats collecting. Because of our technology, model ships have been upgraded along with the times. While wooden model ships, authentic ship replicas, and other traditional nautical decor will probably never go the way of the dinosaur, remote controlled electric boats are the new “it” item in the model ship culture. Model ship enthusiasts interested in technology will love RC electric boats. The nuts and bolts that go into assembling these RC electric boats give the artisan’s aesthetic work a run for its money. There are so many different electric RC boats to choose from, and many different ways to identify the one right for you. Many key factors play a deciding role in which RC electric boat is the best one. One of the things that you should consider is to look at the hull of the boat. This is due to the fact that the shape of the RC electric boat’s hull is directly correlated to the speed, stability, and agility of the boat. There are several different hull designs that have many different factors which translate into the capabilities of the boat. First, we have the monohull design, AKA “the monoplane hull”. The surface of the monohull design remains in contact with the water at all times. This design can come in several different styles. Among the most popular monohull designs is the “vee-shaped” hull design. The flat bottom design is the next RC electric boat design. As the name implies, the flat bottom boat is well, flat. The flat bottom design works by sitting flat on top of a bubble of air just above the water surface. At the back of the boat in this hull configuration is the RC electric boat motor. Meanwhile, the use of a propeller provides the proper thrust needed to propel the RC boat. The hydroplane is another hull design for RC electric boats that directly affects its speed. This design is a unique hull that allows for more than one surface to be in contact with the water at a time. With that said, about 2 or 3 surfaces of the boat can be touching water at any given moment. The uniqueness of the hull design allows for a space of air to sit directly underneath the boat. This attributes to the ship being able to “lift” off of the water and achieve significantly less friction than it would otherwise. This results in the hydroplane hull achieving much higher speeds than ordinary, thanks to the hull not being restricted by the water. These are just a few of the different RC electric boats available. By looking at the various hulls of these electric ship models you will be able to quickly assess the speed, maneuverability, and much more of your potential boat.
