hi all.
i'm thinking of building my 1st 1/8 and would like some advise on brands so to speak.
may years ago i had a DPI kit of the 93 miss T-Plus twin wing and would like to do this boat in 1/8.
i have found M&l boat works and Hydro marine both do the hull.
is the only real difference between the 2 construction material or are there shape differences in aero and ride surfaces?

any advise appreciated
thx

ML Boatworks frame kits is the way I would go. Mike has done a TON of research to bring these hulls up to today's power sources available. There are always 'variables' between different hull manufacturers, but Mike's frame kits are the very best bang for the buck.
