Hi Everyone!
I have had this hull for about 7 years and recently took the hardware out of it because I wanted to swap all of the electronics and hardware from a donor SuperVee27 into it.
I am not looking to race, just chase my kid's SV around the lake and maybe eventually run a couple circles around them :)
I have been reading some of the posts here and am trying to decide if I should build this one up or just get a DF26 or DF33 and start with a new hull?
This one has a small chunk out of the corner that I can easily fix and I would probably strip the decals off it and paint it up. I planned on having to shave the subsurface drive off the bottom and epoxy a patch on it and then mount the SV hardware to make her a surface drive.
I really like the lines of the Fountain but is she realistically gonna go +40mph AND handle like a fiberglass DeltaForce hull?
So - should I sell it or build it??
