    Several reasons really... I'm sure I will build one with an electric outboard. The small electric lower units have flex shaft problems and you can only run but so much power.

    As for nitro. I just don't like all the tuning and motor stall.

        Those are some sweet boats. Do you still have one? Cool video too. What did you carve that out of?

            The 2nd prototype which has not been shown yet and Is alot better looking/running Is being molded. This Is really cool and I will have a glass hull soon... I will be sending doozie the 1st or 2nd hull made.

            I tested It really hard (I gave It hell!!!) with a 9xl/12 nimh and this hull rocks! It performs like nothing I have ever seen before. Which may not be much In the R/C world...:p It takes the rough water very well and also can take alot more power than I put to It! No joke... It needs lipo!

                  Stealth I have seen another view of that boat flipping in the video.
                  I quess I shouldn't be surprised that Parker Rabe was in the back ground with the radar gun.


                  How much longer do you think it will be, before you have a hull ready. I would love to get one and see what I can do with it. Any idea yet, on the prices?

                    The mold Is coming along preety good now so, It will be done soon. Then I will need time to lay up a few hulls. Price should be determined after the first lay up.

                        The wood model (Inboard power) ran very stable on the pad In the straights and turned great without a turn fin. Also took the chop from a bass boat passing by like a offshore rig. I can't wait to test the glass hull with 4s.
