    The construction on this kind of surprised me:

          I got a yellow one in fall of 2012, exactly the same! I always wanted to see another hull, finally, thank you for posting the under side!
          Also the hull had very strong smell of certain chemical, ( not unpleasant tho), it releases a fume that if you keep you hatch closed, you would feel a rather "oily" substance. I will leave the hatch open before the build and make sure you sand, sand and sand any area to be epoxied.
          The outside transom was not symmetrical, yours is better. But, what a hull, I have a Neu 1515 1y, running a m445, 4s2p. Love how she rides on water.

              Mine was a damaged OSE clearance one. All Ive done is unboxed and pictures.

              Im going to repair the one tip, which should be very easy. That underside is just how they come evidently. Now looking at the pictures I can see it (even on the yellow one).

                Forgot to say CONGRATS! This was a great buy!
                I also like the bigger "brother" you have next to the MM.
                These ( MM) are build tough, on my maiden I was so excited to see how spot on with all the adjustments that twice I failed to steer clear off the shore line, it went up like a landing craft! , I was really ready to see some damage but to my amazement I could not see any.
                I ended up using the old hatch because of my motor placement that the new version didn't fit, I have learned to like that old style, but I think the new one looks just way cool.

                    I mixed up epoxy and micro ballons the other day. Formed with masking tape and left her dry for a few days.

                    Sanded out the tips nicely and mounted the hardware. I have the inline motor mount, T-Bar and servo mount. I need to get a decent quality servo and put that hole and water line connections in. Then get my stuffing tube in and in the water she goes!

                      Those tips look better than the original! Mine weren't that sharp and if you really look dead head on, one is higher than the other, but, love the hull still.

                          Right or left?

                          Or dont use that motor/t-bar/servo mount?

                          I might be able to pull the servo in and be able to go on the inside? maybe? anyone else have this dilema?

                              Nice fix. Which hull is that? It looks like it could run good on the water I run on. Good luck with the build you have a great start.
