What is the website for HPR? For some reason a google search isn't returning anything other than talk from forums.

Its not shown on their site, but hanspeter has announced it on this site. I would try emailing him if you are interested. If I find the thread where he mentions it I will post a link.

No cats, I want a killer mono, deep v.

I would just order a brand new Aeromarine Apache 50" but I think there might be something better.

Now that I have this offer I really need to think on this.

I want a killer deep v. I may just get the Outerlimits from Aeromarine. They have always treated me good. Hell they did a custom build for my Scarab build.

Why not another center console??? Larger scale than your other one, match yours again. 40" with outboards, or I break out the 54" scarab molds and make one of those up. Put two of the new proboat outboards on it. Not as scale with the lower units, but I think it would power it. Or look at other outboards, what about the larger graupner gtx800 series. OSE they are special order, but look more scale but kinda like a short shaft.

lets see, you drive a scarab, so what are you going to build that you run off of your Scarab???????? So your buddy buys the hull, it just happens to come with two proboat lower units!

i liked your other build and would like to see another one.

Yeah I hear you Brian. But I already ordered the MTC power trim drives from MHZ so the outboard thing is a no go on this build.

I am currently looking at the Bonzi Sports 54" Fountain hull. Thats a slick looking hull....

Oh that is right, I forgot about that. Those are nice looking drives.

That would look cool, gotta agree. I am considering ripping mine apart over the winter and going twins on the 40" scarab. Twin stearable semi-scale outdrives, the way it should have been done.

Chris, this might be your ticket.

The In Mocean is a very tricky hull, be aware of that !
The step on that boat is huge !
There is a knockoff of that hull, but without the step.

Of the above mentioned hulls the Ocean Spray is the nicest in my eyes. But at $525 and 48" its considerably more than the 54" Bonzi Fountain priced at $325.

And with a twin drive setup I don't think I should go smaller than 50"

I sent Bonzi an email to see if they can sell me a hull without the stringers. They put the stringers in at 5" for the gas engines. And looking at my 50" Apache hull it looks like the drives will need to be spaced right at 5".
