new kos owner here. how many of us are there?

[limitedr1]

Hey guys. Just got a kos if a member here. I have read about how thin these hulls were but didnt realize how thin till i got this girl. WOW! So i just gutted it to lay some glass mat down and was wondering how many were still running this hull. Mine is a single drive kos. Inly thing stock is the hull

[petej]

I just ran mine this past Sunday. Port-side Feigao motor blew bearings and broke the old, in-runner motor mount.
As on the starboard side, I will now replace the port in-runner mount with the Venom out-runner motor mount.
Been through two Feigao motors since March. Going with ARC 28-47-1.5s or Leopard 2860s.

[limitedr1]

wow two motors already. i thought feigos were very good motors. are they standing behind them??

[petej]

I don't figure there's any warranty on them more than 30 or even, 90 days. From what I've been reading, in this forum, most guys are moving away from Feigao and going with Leopards in the EKOS.

just got the rest of my hull reinforced finally. took the s3004 out and put a s3305 in for steering. got the leo 4082 in but trying to decide if i want to run it on 6s or 4s.

Limitedr1,

Isn't the Leopard 4082 a 40mm diameter motor? Do you have photograph of the EKOS interior with those 4082's mounted?

[limitedr1]

pete, yes it is. my ekos has been converted to a single drive.

[Joe007]

I would love to see pictures of that conversion.

Joe

[limitedr1]

i will try to get some pics up soon

[Joe007]

great, have you had it in the water since you did the converison?
Joe

[limitedr1]

actually I didn't do the conversion. it was how I got it. Which really sucks cause i'm gonna need parts for it sooner or later lol. I think I know what's on it for the steering hardware and strut but not the stuffing tube or flex shaft.

[limitedr1]

Hopfully they show up
