    TFL Hobbies.. New Boats

    I was recently informed (through Monica) that Mr. Ke , the owner of TFL Hobbies is wanting to design several new boats for 2015 and is looking for customers to provide input as to what types of hulls they would prefer to buy.

    He is open to all ideas, Mono's, Hydro's and Cat's that are either scale looking for sport running or race hulls that fall within the dimensional requirements of the NAMBA and IMPBA classes (or possibly any other racing organization in the rest of the world).


    So, post away in this thread as to what you would like to see come to market for next year.

    jet sprint? Jet boats need to hit the mainstream, no pun intended.

        OK, that H&M canard is really cool (even with the grasshopper on the hatch)...

            How about a flatbottom ski boat like the K or PS class in APBA? Would be a challenge to drive, and probably a lot of fun with a few boats out there.

            Link to the class in APBA:

              Modern hydro.. 35 to 40 range. MTI style cat would be cool.

                Every boat needs a pilot.
                Here's a version that will appeal to the Patriotic side of you

                  I'll amend that to an MTI cat with a pair of the new IO style drives they are making for the F1 boat.. Be really different.

                    Thank you, Dody.
                    After discussed with TFL owner, he would prefer Vee boat and Catamaran.
                    When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

                          I second that, something that looks fairly real but, handles race conditions.
