Just received a Phil Thomas 'Stealth Sport' 30" hydro hull yesterday. This project will most likely take me a while to complete as I'm probably in way over my head, but what the hey. :bounce:

I've ordered the hardware (speedmaster) per Phil's recommendation and it should arrive shortly. Still unsure of what I want to power it with though. http://static.rcgroups.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif

Stay tuned!

Power it with a UL-1 motor and hopefully you can beat the Whips.

Now now we can't have any of that kind of talk Ray, no beating up the Whips is allowed.

i have been trying to build my own boat from scratch, im going with a Vee hull becuse from what i've read they are the easyest to setup... well the frist one was nice but way to heavy and wasnt fast enough so my next one will be much lighter this is what i got so far. let me know if the hull looks right.

For power in mine I use a Leopard 4074 2200 Kv with a Seaking 180. Temps on esc and motor under 100 degrees. Great boat, I am very happy with mine.

Nah your not in over your head. This was my first build, and first hydro, just take your time and think everything through. If you need any help feel free to give me a shout.

I would buy both a UL-1 Motor and a Leopard 2200kv motor. That way you can race it in both P-Limited Sport Hydro and P-Sport Hydro. :biggrin:
