Hey guys im totally new to the forum and totally new to boats. Im looking to build a brushless boat but would like it to be as large as possible i was looking at the Delta Force 45 Hull, can this be made brushless and can it be custom painted??? Those are my two biggest concerns. And also if you guys dont mind what would you recommend for a set up i know nothing about boats so hope you guys can take it easy on me im going to need all the help I can get really appreciate it guys thanks!

Welcome to the forum & this great hobby. Big boats are expensive and require some build & setup knolege. I would suggest you get your feet wet in a brushless RTR boat. If you have fun with that then dive in. -
To start, Hello and welcome to a great adventure!!
First, yes they can be Custom Painted... That is one of my fav. things to do!
Second, a large 45" hull will be expensive to build.. Easy $1500-2500 depending on set-up... Brushless and lipo powered, is the only way to go now days...
I would recommend a Neu 2215 or 2230 motor... OSE will have them instock soon!! Also I would run 10S lipo set-up, with a Castle HV-180-240A esc... Speedmaster hardware would be a good choice... Just my thoughts..
Good Luck, Rich
I added a couple pict's of Custom Painted Hulls...Last edited by txboatpilot; 03-11-2008, 10:41 PM.Nothing like keeping you lipos warm and your prop wet!!

550 is that for the red one? and what size boat is that?
Also speed master hardware with .130 or .150 cable? i dont even know what that means but haha ill learnComment

55 i would assume a 55" then think im catching onComment
-
guess the .150 for me.... Where are you located how much would some thing like that cost on a boat like im looking at the 44 inchComment

Txboatpikot whenever i see a paint job like that i wanna do it myself and it never comes out like that.always need just a few mph moreComment

For the big boat you would want the .187 flex with .187 prop shaft. You can use a speedmaster dual pickup rudder with the long setback and a speedmaster 3/16" stinger drive.Steven Vaccaro
