I am wondering if anyone has an EKOS (or other 32" hull) in nice/new shape but without radio, without engines, nor ESCs BUT with the stingers and engines mounts still in tact. I could order a new hull from Venom, or a 32" bare hull from Kintec, but am worried about having to install all the hardware myself, laminating mounts etc.

I was about to buy the Jospeh Toth 34" cat from OSE which looks awesome, but I was told by OSE that it runs best on twin 540s..then I would have to spend hundred$ more on new ESCs, new motors(mine are now 380 9XLs), new Lipos, new piano wire shafts etc etc etc.

All being said, I want a 60 mph+ cat.

Thanks guys :beerchug:

You might call this fellow. He has a bare EKOS hull. I have no idea if it is for sale, but worth a call. He also builds the larger high performance RC boats (gas/nitro) as an avocation. Super nice guy.

Thanks. I am also looking at GFreaks 32" cat, Miss Budweiser Select.

I bought the Budweiser Select from GFreaks, should be a great 6S boat and push 55mph.

But I am still wondering what I should do with all my high performance EKOS parts and electronics. Ideally I need a new EKOS hull but the the engine mounts laminated as they are stock. The rest I could do...

The other idea is buying the twin Apparition from HK for $235 plus shipping and replace the stock motors and ESCs with my gear.

Any ideas are very welcome ! :)
