    Seen them run in "A mono" as a .21 nitro setup (crazy fast little buggers) and I was flat impressed that is a sweet hull. Id like to try one myself as an FE setup some day. Im not a real exspericed person in boats yet but seems like a great hull design and alot of guys run them with good reviews. I think that hull design hold several records even.

      They can be hard to set up but when you get it right they run awesome. They are also tight on space in the inside and hard to tape up. That's why you don't see too many FE ones running. Doug Smock has taken a bunch of IMPBA straight away records with them. All that being said, I had a bad experience with Seaducer so I can't say I would recommend one.

            Yea I was looking at making it a fe boat but making a top for it might be difficult..... I'm thinking nitro might be the way to go on this one the guy included some type of tuned pipe with it as we'll. I'm excited about starting this build.

              You've got the shorter of the two versions. Jerry makes a 33" and a 29". They are a bit tricky to set-up, but can be awesome when done right. I have a 21, 45 and 101 in nitro and a 33" version was my first FE. Mine ran very wet and I sold it prematurely without trying to fix it first. Some pics attached.

                  Ok kool, thanks ccr. How are they tricky to set up? When you say running wet is that where the front of the boat want to nose in the water?

                        Use the Seaducer hardware or Speedmaster. These boats are very particular with hardware so I would not recommend a stinger or longer offset rudder.

                          Probably a T180 and a leopard equivalent to a Neu 1521

                              Hey Chris,
                              You want the 20 mono rudder and the SDS strut. http://www.seaducerboats.com/hardware.htm
                              The set up instructions are on the site.
                              Good luck.
                              Doug
