WTB 1/8 hydro hull

[mike robson]

want to buy a 1/8 hydro hull if it needs work thats fine to make a fast electric boat out of.

[G.Rose]

I had this on Intl. Natl. Waters and decided when it didn't sell to make it into FE some day. It's is yours for $125 plus USPS {Best Price} It is a 1/8 SCALE [dummy motor is not included]

I have a great boat waiting to be painted and run. This was a fast boat before I purchased it. I have sanded it down and planned to make it into the Valu-Mart. I included a pics of the boat when I recvd it. It is wood with a glassed over canopy. It is light and could be made into FE very easily. It comes with: strut, rudder, radio box, turn fin, tanks, motor mount for CMB or OPS 67, custom header, driver . $200 shipped in USA.

Wow, that is a steal! If the poster of this thread doesn't want your boat, I'll take it!

It will take some serious $$$ to fit it out. It will need a 2200 series NEU, 240HV esc, and run on 10S or 12S I would think?

What were your plans for setup?

[G.Rose]

I was going to set it up w/ 240 ESC ..10s and the Scorpion motor used in the Classic Thunder Club in Seattle. Later i was going to have Mark Beatty in the same club build me a 1/6 scale and put everything in that. It looks worse than it is . If I could paint I would keep it. You notice I started outlining the deck of the Valu-Mart and got frustrated so I quit. His was an old post and I PM'd him. If he doesn't respond by tomorrow it is yours.

G. Rose,
I just noticed the dummy motor is not included! Bummer! How much more to include it? That's one of the things that excited me. That'll teach me to read more closely! haha.

[G.Rose]

That is why I came down so drastically. IT HAD A CAR ACCIDENT. The tire won!!!

[sailr]

You ran over it? Bummer! Let me think about this. Where do you get the dummy motor kits. I'm not so concerned about the cost, but the time to build it. It looked like yours was pretty nice!

[G.Rose]

They are very easy to build and fun. Let me tell you if I can do it anyone can. When I first got into nitro 4 years ago I would cut into small boats and reshape them to look like real Hydros. I ran only the .18 nitro at the time mainly because I do not have the tools or ability to build scratch.These motors however were, pop the laser pieces, sand , glue and paint with testors. Aprox. 1hour to build while watching TV. The best part is painting. LOL

just wondered what it cost to ship that big boat?

[G.Rose]

WEIGHT WAS 20LBS [52X21X12\ Sun City, az to Florida $76

[sailr]

Thanks! Your shipper dude kinda ripped you off. Cost from LA on the fedex website was $51 and change Los Angeles to here. From AZ should have been even cheaper. Go back and ask them to explain themselves. Better yet, call Fedex, give them the weight and dimensions and the from and to zip codes and ask for a quote. If they tell you something different, file a complain against the place where you shipped it. Maybe you can get some money back.

[sailr]

I want to be clear that I am not blaming G.Rose for the increased shipping! He has been absolutely great to deal with.
