    Delta Force Sniper 45

    Steven, a nice looking boat but the hull design and posture does not seem to have changed from previous designs. A stretched hull from a previous winner may not be correct as far as stability is concerned. The proof will be in the pudding. I hope I am wrong, as that is a great price for a boat of that size.

              Steven,

              From what I've been told, aren't these hulls designed with a little bit more V to them compared to the DF hulls???

              They sure look sharp...

                      Doug, I think you will need lot of notes. that is greenback notes to support Casey's new demands

                      May the force be with you both at Valdosta!

                          A couple of things. First, you can see more photos of the Sniper here:






                          Here's a shot of a Sniper under way:


                          This is the boat along side the CyberStorm. The Sniper belonged to Paul Pachmayer as did the Storm. I now own the Storm in the photo



                          And here's one shot of the inside of the Sniper:





                          I have one of these on the way. Paul built it for me. Lehner 3060/10 - 10S2P - Schulze 40.160.
                          Mine is Orange.

                          BTW - Paul ran his on a Lehner 3060/8 on 8S2P. He said it was VERY fast!! I expect mine to be high 60's and maybe at ouch more.

                          The Storm has a 10XL in it - Hydra 120 - 4S2P. Runs high 40's low 50's. It is getting a 9XL this week.
                          The boat is rock solid and runs great. Paul says the Sniper is it's big brother.

                          I'll have both boats at WW IV in March.

                            Bill, I have a 29.5" storm that I run on a 9Xl . Fast as a bat out of hell...rough water..not too good.

                              The dead rise of the storm looks to be ALOT more steep than the deltas. This could be a great boat for the chop.
