RC WYEFORCE SOUTHAMPTON TUG BOAT – READY TO RUN – NOW WITH 2.4GHZ TRANSMITTER
Product#: WTB-001
Wyeforce is a incredibly detailed and high quality model.
DESCRIPTION:
WYEFORCE was built in 1994 by Hepworth Shipyards of Hull for Itchen Marine. Wyeforce's work included ship towage and liner berthing in and around Southampton, UK. The boat was heavily built with a hard chine hull, which included a conventional twin-screw layout using fixed pitch propellers working within fixed Kort nozzles.
The performance of this model on the water is outstanding due to the large twin Kort nozzles and propellers. The twin engine props within the dual Kort nozzles direct the thrust like a jacuzzi. In the above video, the Wyeforce is towing and pushing a 52 inch Bismarck that had lead ballast in it. The Wyeforce is perfectly at home for RC steering, and tug towing competitions.

Wyeforce has a removeable superstructure that reveals a hatch that hides the on/off switch and battery compartment. Another hatch in the stern reveals rudder control and engines. These areas are completely sealed from water with rubber sealed hatches.
Wyeforce is a incredibly detailed and high quality model. Every fitting on the boat is in its correct place and the models scale wake and power will impress you.
