    Finally got a H&M Drifter S...



    I snagged this for $97+ shipping.

    I'll sell the motor & hardware cheap and I'm going to twin this hull out 4 sure.

    That nice 85mm Scale chinese rudder will be perfect on this hull.

    It needs a bit of TLC but, hopefully not too much.

      I'm jazzed. I have to wait until I see it in order to decide what motors I have to use. Got the 4mm stingers and I'll get some wire drives in 4mm from Jeff Wholt.

      I wonder what will fit....??

        congrats on the Drifter,

        You will like it.
        I had mine running around 57mph on a single Feigao 8XL on 4S.
        I am hoping to break 60mph with it soon with a Castle 1512.
        I bought it off of ProperChopper awhile ago. He set the 2006 LSO SAW record when he had it.
        Enjoy!

          Thanks.

          I had H&M Maritimo I built & sold. In hindsight, I really miss it.

          Still have my Lifter Hydro, collecting dust foior now. I might revive it too this year.

          Yes, after owning a few chinese hulls, I'm glad to get a nice sharp German made hull that can either go single or twin. Since I have allot of stuff, might as well go twins.

          Lots to do now.

            Very nice! I have one of these also. Quality hull for sure. You guys must stay on ebay. I NEVER find any quality stuff like that on the bay.

              Pure luck, I was just searching for something else "cat" "catamaran" and I saw it 2 days ago.

              Had to sit in the bushes. It ended at 1pm est, odd time, my luck. I usually foget about these things but this time I put a screen saver Marquee up to remind me, lol... Such a bad memory...

              We'll see how nice it is, very few holes, from what I see. Seller doesn't communicate well, thats a bit of a worry...

                    I almost forgot about that video.

                    Tony, are you about ready to head to Joe's yet? Josh is back in action and ready to break 70mph in his beautiful Maritimo.

                      Joe's in Vegas at CES; when he gets back we have to fix the pontoon boat. Should be soon. Great news about Josh !!
