The "New" Aeromarine Team Believer - A Sneak Peek

[RayR]

Presenting the new Aeromarine “Team Believer”

Well, it’s not really a “New” boat. Just an existing boat with a new hatch.

I was speaking with Brian Watts at Rocket City Racing several months ago and the subject migrated to the “SprintCat” hull from Aeromarine. I mentioned that the Sprint Cat .40/80 was a great boat, but left a lot to be desired in terms of conversion to an electric boat. The biggest issue with the SprinCat is that all of the electrics need to be mounted on the tunnel floor. There is not enough room to fit conventional packs into the sponsons.

The “Team Believer” hull on the other hand, with the same bottom as the SprintCat, has plenty of room to put batteries in the sponsons, but the hatch is virtually impossible to tape and leaves much to be desired in terms of “Aesthetics”.

I mentioned to Brian that the hatch opening for the Team Believer was only an inch shorter and an inch narrower than the hatch opening for the 42” Avenger Pro hull which is one fantastic looking boat.

Since Brian is one of the larger dealers for Aeromarine, I asked if he could speak with Remy at Aeromarine about modifying the Avenger Pro hatch to fit the Team Believer hull.

Here are some preliminary pics – I should have boat in hand shortly for more detailed pics.

That is incredibly cool! Finally a good-looking, superb handling 4S oval racing cat...

I think Steve at OSE is putting one together before he sells it. He shared this with me a couple months back and said he was bringing one in to build for testing.

[Rumdog]

Oh. Tell me it's true!! I love this idea!

Would that be a 4S or 6S racer Jay? Is she is over 34"?

Great looking boat!! I may have to put this on the build list.

It's true. Remy made a mold for it. There's a White one available on the Rocket City site. Steven is a dealer as well.

The Team Believer is 36" inches long, with a beam of 14.5", so it's a Q boat. I just measured it.

The SprintCat is 34.5" long

Yeah I forgot it is a tad longer. Remy says the bottoms are identical though.

This new version reminds me of one a club member had way back in 2008....

What is your plan for powering it?
Really interested in building this hull.

Neu 1527/1y on 6s2p. Need to keep the kv lower to make 4 minutes for q offshore. It will still run around 60 though.
