I have four of the Pro Boat 1/8 scale hydroplanes and LOVE EM! I took the U-8 LLumar and custom painted it to look like the U-37 Miss Beacon Plumbing. I got the paint from Schumacher Racing in Seattle (I am friends with the crew chief) because I wanted it as accurate as possible. It has the clutch, and water pump removed. It also has a Speedmaster duel water pickup rudder and a 6518/3 prop modded for a hydroplane by Chris at Dasboata.com
For some reason it will not allow me to post pictures.
When I get it figured out I will post some.
