    Now I need a Hydro

    I got an offer I could not refuse from a guy watching "us" run last weekend so I sold my UL-1. A box of goddies arrived today now I need a new Hydro. I was Thinking a Popeye.

    A little de-anodising



    And New Brackets

      Hi,
      If you want a handbuilt quality hull, I would suggest giving Randy a call over at BBY Racing


      He did a FANTASTIC job on my custom Executone LSH

            Pretty sure oven cleaner works for that.

              BBY Zepheyr: I bought this hydro from Lipo Power, I don't know if Randy built everything ( think Lipo Power finished the build), but I love Randy's hull and this was really just a casual run with some tired batteries.

                    Here is mine. It is made to run as a direct competitor to the UL-1. It even uses the same hardware and electronics (if desired).

                          All nice hulls. I'm still set on something in the lines of the Popeye, Maybe an Insane or ML kit. I'm not sure.

                          In the last couple of weeks I have sold most of my boats I'm down to my Titan 29 and a PB Stiletto.

                          I've been looking at the Aeromarine Catalog and I got my eyes set on a Challenger Hull 43".

                          So I dont know what to do.

                            The Winston eagle 30 is legal in NAMBA not IMPBA. I have only raced it in P sport Hydro with a 1515 1Y and that was enough power for the WE30. I really think the SS30 is faster due to the bigger hull floating on more air and it is legal in IMPBA. But I made the WE34 run 88MPH two way average. If I just did not get tired so fast I would hold up better at the races. After 2 days I am done for. Anybody can be beat on any given day! I do good for 65, I missed three race days and came up second in the district in both classes. I really like Sports and Hydros the best over anything.
