Cool looking boat. Is that a 540 sized motor?

Thats the boat that Sailr (Jim) Slaughter has been promoting. He has the Minicat Racing franchise. He has been talking about the hull for a while in the swapshop.

Buy it guys. My cost is $192 + shipping from China. Can't touch HK's price. Go for it. I'm out!

I for one am not interested in the boat, I just posted it, because I had not seen it before. I didn't even pay attention that this was the same hull that sailr was promoting thanks for the update tth!

thats were service comes into play. if i was in usa i would be happy to pay a little exstra for the securety that a deasent company like Mini Cat Racing USA or OSE that i could get a hold of if needed was the ones selling it.

in my book service is worth the exstra few $$

I am a little skeptical because it only calls for a 20c 3s battery out of the box. Yes I know it can be upgraded.. but why not start with a boat already equipped for more power then upgrade that?

I must be missing something.. nice looking though :thumbup:

they just raised the prices to 299 for the genesis cat and 158 for the small bolt hydro. and i think 485 for the apperition cat. changes things for me. anyway, does anyone know what the notations ok and bk mean re these boats availability?

It is listed as $299. but when you sign in or place it in shopping cart it still shows as $219.

Has any one seen or heard
how they run?

There's a few other threads going on with them right now, just search Genesis.
