can this be set up for R/c use?

Absolutely. In fact I don't know of anyone who did not build this boat for RC. Dumas also sells a motor and running hardware set just for this boat. But there are many options out there depending on what you want to do... (go fast or go scale)... She looks NICE out on the lake... GREAT choice for RC!

Can you build the boat completely then make it an RC at a later time?

The kit includes the running hardware. It is easier to install these parts during the hull build and before the upper deck build and planking. The separate r/c equipment can be installed upon completion.

Do you need to buy a stand for this boat, or does it come with one?

You can build your own, or contact Dumas Boats.
