Areomarine Laminates

Has anyone delt with them latley?
I jumped on the water damaged Mean Machine deal for hull and hardwear for $90 and I still have no idea if it is on the way or not.
Every time I call, and I am lucky enough to talk to someone, I get a differnt story every time.
3 weeks and no boat.. I have about $500 in parts ready to go.
This is my first into try at the fast electric boats and its not fun yet!!!!!.
I just want to know yes or no if I have been charged for this or not.
If not the I will get the Geico from the local shop.

I have dealt with them a few times. No complaints. Though I did place a small order one week ago and still no confirmation on shipping.

I'm guessing they are closed for the holidays.

i bought the water damaged MM from them well before xmas so no excuse there.
It took a while and i had to call on the phone.
Emails are pointless.

I wont be going back.

I heard they were finally sold out of the flood hulls.. heard it a couple weeks back here on OSE..... then I went to their site and it didn't say anything about being sold out...

I have one myself, I have a "real" electric layup version one too which I think is much higher quality then the flood hulls.... I haven't decided if I am gonna follow through with my build on the flood hull.... will definately wanna reinforce the hull no question....

These pics are of the flood hull....

[JMSCARD]

These pics are of my much nicer electric layup hull... and the hull is not nearly as sharp or sturdy as the electric layup hull

Look at the difference on where the hull is joined on the "electric" hull...

The ones on sale are made in Asia and are quite crappy.

no mention of that on there website.

I just returned from the shop with a new Miss G..
We will see what comes of Areomarines order. I know I will be happy with the G.
I orderd back on the 13th of Dec.

That does not make sense, either they have water damaged hulls or not and should oblidge the customer with a correct response. Where are the good stores today apart from OSE? as that company is stellar.

I was told I bought the last one.. And then I was told that there were a few left..
They are still on the site and you can still put them in your cart to buy!!
Now there is a answer machine that says that they are closed though the 29th.
I just hope I wasnt charged for the hull way back on the 13th.
Stuff happens.. Just let us know.

i just kept checking my bank account.They did not charge me until it shipped.
it arrived badly packed and with a bent rudder.

[LarrysDrifter]

Sounds like they are well on theyre way to being another Fine Design company.I think Ill stay away from there in the future.

[teamchrome]

At this point I hope it dosent ship and I dont get charged for it.
Next week Ill try to call and talk to someone.. I hope.
Again, I hope everything on his side is fine and its just a glitch.

[LarrysDrifter]

Well,if you do end up getting the hull,sell it in the swap shop.It wont last long.I bet not even a day.

[britscoot]

this is how mine arrived.
Pre bent rudder and some crappy flex tube job.

Maybe its because i only paid $105 shipped.

You can see in my pics the crappy instalation of the flex tube as well... my rudder is ok but what is up with the the flex tube... geesh I hope they don't sell the gas ones that way rtr...... pretty sad.....easy fix but sad... this boat is a long way from being a good strong hull for a 1520....
