    New to site and RC boating, Have simple question

    I have seen in the wtb section a term used frequently. That I have no ideal how this pertains to rc boats or the benefits. The phrase is have had haul blue printed. Can someone please take the time to explain this to me. I Thank You in advance for helping a newbie understand this term and the benefit.


    Thank You
    Chris grisham

    Blueprint is when you sand down and make ride pads flat.

      I will add to Lucks statement,

      You may add or take material from the hull mono or catamaran to make a consistent flat surface that rides over water. Any irregularity can make handling and cornering unpredictable(spinouts, turning or bouncing down straight). I should add that some imperfections may not affect much I have seen some that until fixed the boat would not respond as desired.

      And as far as WTB= Want To Buy

      Hope this helps, Shawn

          For example.
          In the pics below, there were two depressions in the hull known as "Hooks". The pink filler was needed to fill those hooks, & when sanded to a smooth flat finish, the hull could be called 'blueprinted'.
          A bit of paint to cover it & a final rubdown with some #400 paper & the increase in speed & handling over the original hull is very noticeable.
