Lots of guy's who have had Vac U Pickle and they are great

That looks pretty sweet. The pickles are crazy, slap ul1 power in a pickle and hold on. This looks like a great hull for MC/SV27R power or a ammo 3650 2300 or better yet a tacon 3650 2230kv. I dig this hull

Good luck with your build

I never owned a Vac-U-Boat but I've seen the vac-u-pickle race with great results in p spec sport hydro (LSH). These are not the weak ABS hulls of yesterday, they are extremely rigid. I'm sure the vac-u-vee will be just as good. It looks great in the videos.

The Vac-U-Vee is a great little boat. I have one of the first prototypes as I did some of initial testing for Phil. It is a really easy build because of the way Phil designed it all to go together, and yes it is VERY strong.

So far I have set it up for N-2 Mono and took second with it last year at the D13 race in Sowega Ga. in a very competitive field.

I just converted it over to an SV motor and 4s to run it in LSO. So far testing has gone well. The boat turns really good in both directions which should make it a perfect fit for this class. I hope to take to the NAMBA FE nats next month and give it a go!!!

Yes, this is another great offering from Phil.
You'll be seeing the Vac-U-Vee Jr. soon. It's a cool little boat as well.

Nice looking boat. Kinda looks like the El Lobo that Bandit used to make.

I like that it's re-enforced. Should give it a longer life span.

The top does look like the El Lobo but the hull has a much deeper vee.

The way this hull is made with the inner-liners for the deck and hull it is stronger than a lot of the glass hulls out there and still very light considering how much material that is in it.

I like the lines of it
any idea of price yet?

Good. My Lobo was a slapper with any chop at all. I would never have trusted it for 10 laps of offshore. Hated that boat. Looked cool though.

Flimsy bottoms is whats wrong with most vac boats. I like Phil's solution. Worked on the pickle. No reason to think any different on this offering.

Is this vac'd over a plug or sucked into a mold?

[Doug Smock]

Vac'd over a plug Terry.
