Well economics pinched me hard this time. Gotta sell one of my babies. Here she is, race ready - just add radio and batts.

Package deal: $550 shipped UPS and insured
(cont US - International inquire about additional postage)

The hull I got used, but in great shape. There are several minor scuffs on the bow, no damage nor comprimise to hull integrity - no cracks at all. There are some minor pock marks in the gell coat, but other than that she is beautiful. I had to reposition the hardware from the holes already drilled, and they are all filled with epoxy from the inside - a quick coat of white will cover all traces.

She is set up with 580 8L motor with metal cooling jacket, thrust bearing and .150" flex to a Speedmaster stinger. New trim tabs/ turn fins and a beefy 4" rudder. Here she is with an Etti 150 Opto with extra caps and a waterproofed external Castle BEC. Peter Zicha whipped me up one of his special motor mounts with an ESC plate. High torque metal geared BB Futaba 3305 servo has 5 coats of spray plastidip and uses a .078" wire to turn the rudder with out any play. I will include the Octura X445 balanced and sharpened prop.

Graphics were designed and applied by me (adhesive monokote and automotive pin striping - completely removable if desired, but on there good if you like as is). The three drivers have not been painted yet, but are ready to rock and roll and are included.

I rigged up my eagle tree and here is the resulting graphic; this motor/prop provides nearly 2000 watts and under 100 amps. If you don't know what this means, you have a very cool running system with lots of headroom. I have run 4 and 5S but always 2P and great speeds, well into the 40s and very stable. See my vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_pJiqTyR7A) in the chop.

There are a few folks lined up on this but nobody has said "I'll take it". Shouldn't last long at this price.

here are more pics of hull, hardware and electronics.

You'll notice my doubled up carbon fiber plates I had to install to allow for position of motor mount. I ran one cooling line and nothing has ever gotten over about 90 deg F. I kinda like how the caps look like a big ole V8 or I guess rather a V10!

More pics upon request.

Not interested in dismantling for parting out. If someone wants the hull minus something, that I can do, then sell whatever remains separately.

Hull, hardware, motor servo (just minus ESC) would go for $475
If you don't need prop take $25 off price

Boat stand will only be included in whole package deal.

I've had some offers, but I am not interested in giving her away. Before long, I will just have to keep her and move to where I can race Tony the propperchopper and show him what he missed out on. Hit me with your best offer.
