    Mean Machine water damaged

    Anyone purchased one of the "water damaged" mean machine hulls from Aeromarine? What exactly is the damage?

      ME!! I did. The water damage... They were arr or rtr nitro boats. The damage must have been to the motors or electronics. The hulls and hardware are just fine.

            ME TOO. The ONLY thing I can see is some light rust on the strut and rudder nuts / bolts. Hardly what I would even call "water damaged". Remy told me he just wouldn't sell them this way to the "general public." Here's a couple pics of it.

              Thanks for the input guys. I'm considering building matching boats with my son over the winter...this has to be about the best bang for your buck out there.

                It is... I bought two of them and they came with gas engines that I gave away. Light rust but hardware just fine. One has a single 4074 Leopard and the second one has Dual Leopard 4074's with dual Seaking 180's. Incredible bang for the buck!

                    That hatch just looks like a pain to tape.Thats what draws me away from some hulls is the wacko hatches.I no some hulls are for gas or nitro,so it doesnt have to sit flush and flat like an FE hull,but the mean machine I think would be a pain.

                        What size flex cable does the mean machine come with?

                          As soon as those hatches come back in stock Ill be picking one of those up also.
                          I believe its a 3/16 shaft that comes on it.

                            Who makes the replacement hatches?
                            They have been out of stock for ever at ose.
