How good is this hull? And has any one built one as a electric?

Have to say it is a nice looking build. The skater is to scale. Many have built that with a gas engine but not sure about electrics.

How does it stack up against MHZ hulls? and other high end hulls. I was looking at building a 72" hull sometime soon and was looking at sticking with a USA built hull. The Centralrc hobbies Mystic hull also is one that I'm looking at. I really like the price of the Central hull with carbon and widows added was only 150.00 added to the cost of the hull. It also looks like a sleek and well build hull. I have no idea as to the cost of the Classone hull but I'm well under a 1000.00 with shipping with the Centeral Mystic. I'm thinking of using the TP Power 5850 motors on this built. I seen these motors push a 94" hull with ease and the cost is really good as well.

The ClassOne will set you back 740.00 to 785.00 depending on layup options when I last checked in Dec.
A fellow member here, Keith Bradley, has a electrified Mystic and he swears by it. The workmanship from Rick the builder is pretty good.
Tom from Expresscraft builds MTI and are pretty scale too. Personally I like the cut down version of the MTI. The seams needs a little more body work at the seams but best value for money.

US vs Germany is like a Caddy vs Merc......you get what you pay and most hobbist have a budget.
