    Hydro Options

    Hi all,

    Done a lot of reading about hydro's lately as I'm interested in taking a look at em. I have 6 monohull FE boats ranging from SV27's to a 50mph pursuit.

    From what I read, it's basically an Aquacraft UL-1 or........... Build your own from a kit or hull if you want a hydro. There's the Proboat Miss Elam *if* you can find one. Or the Venom Miss (something) hydro *if* you can find one.

    Building from a kit or from a bare hull isn't really what I'm after at this stage. But I do need somthing that can handle a bit of chop.

    Something in the 35inch plus range perhaps? 50mph+ range?

    Modding is no problem as I've done that to death on all the boats I own.

    In terms of almost ready to go is my only option really the UL-1?

    Ul1 is not a boat for 50mph with some chop.
    Neither is the Elam.

    If you wanting something like this I'd look into a PT Phil Thomas hydro.
    Be able to handle more power and choppy water.

      Yes I've been to Phil's site. They're good hulls wilth a lot of people having only good things to say. But I'm not at a stage yet where I could build something like that. I need something almost ready to run for now.

      Does anyone complete or 1/2 complete the PT hulls for general punters?

        You could have Tony build you an Insane FE30. Look up user name "properchopper".

          Was going to recommend the FE30 also would be a good option either way I think tony is the guy to help you out!
          He might be willing to do a PT for you also. Shoot him an email or pm and go from there would be my suggestion.

            Interested in the 1/10 scale boats? They are about 35".

            My 1/10 Miss Bardahl Shovelnose (Carbon Fiber hull) was built by:
