        I just received those today. None assembled. We had 13" of snow in the last week. Supposed to be 43 and raining tomorrow so I could run on the flood waters.

        Not sure what will go in the 26 rocket. Probably something in the 1515 family. I do have a basic 5000xl without a home. That may go in the rigger though.

          I have a set of turn fins and trim tabs for that hull if you need them, might have a rudder also.

          Edit: The tabs I have are for a larger hull, but I do have a TFL rudder and turn fins...

              You got it bad too Todd. To run that turbine on our pond you'll want to add wheels. Very cool.

              I have all the hardware I need. Might have to invent some motor mounts. The mounts that came with some of the boats are too small. The rigger for instance has an itty bitty motor mount. I'll need bigger.

              I'm getting close on this one too.

                  I have the TFL leg. Dimensionally it's similar to the OS unit but it's not the same. It's actually pretty sweet. No adapter required for FE. It's bolt on. The drive line on that is terribly tight though. I'll have to figure out what's up with that.

                  I have 9 boats to build in all and 3 to repair before the nats. Wahoo! At least only one of them is scratch built. I'll get help on these. Fred's going to build at least two of them for me. Probably the shovel and the little mono.

                      I was looking at the Outrage as a possible future build. I'll be interested in what you will do with this. Aside from it being 43" long it just looks like a massive hull.

                        Seems pretty massive to me too. Doesn't weight much at all. Really narrow ride pads for such a large boat. I think John (Doby) has one of these in a different color. His runs pretty well but I don't know what kind of power he threw at it.

                        This is getting 10s through a Neu 2217/1.5y. That's the plan at least.

                          Doby's isn't as pretty but, he ran 8-10S in it with a Lehner and a Schulze ESC for open cat. Almost too much power for a 41" hull. His was a Promise Hobby hull, not sold anymore that I know of. Promise hulls were built like tanks and still leaked a bit. The 40" Carbon Kevlar mono I have was really light but, again it had many manufacturing flaws like voids covered by gel coat only and just not the nicest layups in any way. All the trailing edges on my 29" Phantom hull are rounded off and since it weighed in at 3.3lbs empty it took at least 5S to get it moving fairly well. They were cheap though, lol...
