      I was afraid you might take offense, I meant no disrespect and I doubt others did either. Understand though, that your request is extremely vague and that frustrates people who want to help. I had also noticed you have quite a few posts behind you, so you should realize that the difference between 60mph and 80mph is huge, and the difference between a 35" and a 45" mono is also huge. Basically, the range is from a 35" mono on 4s-6s, to a 45" mono on 10s2p. My Cyberstorm can practically fit inside my 45" Sniper..... Now that you're asking for somebody to build the boat, you have the opportunity to select exactly what you want, but you don't state what you want.
      If you have one built, it's going to take some time, and cost roughly twice the $$$. If you wait and watch the swap shop, you may find something close to what you want, and if you do, don't hesitate or it will be gone.

        an 80mph boat is not gonna be easy to find in that budget unless you get lucky on a second hand one. especially not RTR or even Rx ready. an esc alone for that setup is gonna be close to 250-300, the motor 200+ not to mention lipos, the hull, the hardware, the build itself.
        HPR 135 redemption, HPR C5009, modded zelos 36, 32 boats and counting.
        Flier ESC dealer, pm me for details.

          Save yourself some grief and $$ and build one yourself. Your going to have to buy the hull and parts and ship it to someone to build for you, then have them ship it back and that all costs money.
          Look through the build threads ask the right questions, take your time and you'll find it really isn't that hard.

            Im still not even sure where you guys are finding out today, how much ive got to spend on something like this..
            That is not mentioned anywhere here.
            I dont need to post a budget in order to get ahold of someone who is interested in building me a boat.




            I have nothing else to say.
            You guys win.

              They're going based on what I said dude, based on the info you had given me.
              Don't hold it against them.
              Why don't you just clue them in already instead of continuing to argue over stuff I brought up.

                Not entirely true, a responsible builder would ask you this question, because his reputation is at stake, if your budget can't reflect what you have in mind and he builds one according to how much funds are allocated to him and you are not happy with the result, and as you pointed out, it is not entirely impossible for you NOT to air out your complaints here, then the ENTIRE WORLD knows, who is then going to applause the fire works?
                I have been here for a few years, as i recall, the question that is ask first has always been " how much is your budget, then how fast you want it to go"?
                The more acclaimed/responsible a builder he is , the more careful he will be at ironing out the budget first.......
                However, this scenario would be different if you had already secured a builder and all the communications are done in private, both parties would have certain flexibilities.
                Please understand that I am not here to "teach" a lesson, it just bothers me to see an unhappy boater and I am just trying to express my take on this matter, it is my opinion and you are very free to disagree.
                Cheers!

                  Sorry guys, I'm relatively new here, but attitudes like some here steer people, specially new ones, right off the hobby.
                  And this is one of the reasons why the hobby isn't as strong as it could be.
                  The guy just ask a simple question of who wants to build a boat for him.
                  So far I couldn't see any helpful information... and the thing is just escalating to an argument.
                  He already told that he doesn't have a list of names...
                  Give him a list of names and let him discuss budget with the future builder.
                  People have to stop jumping into conclusion!
                  I would like to find a list of builders myself, but now don't even going to ask!
                  People sometimes forget this is a hobby, and a hobby is meant to make people relax and forget the daily stress.
                  And taking it to seriously can work on the opposite way! Relax, take it easy and have fun!
                  Happy Boating everyone.

                    Because it is a hobby, you are not going to get a bunch of overly happy jumping puppies to take the offer to build someone a boat! let alone that there is no clear budget.
                    No, I don't think anyone is trying to give the OP a hard time save for some misunderstandings between two parties.
                    The very first response was from me, I said he should PM someone, if he doesn't know anyone, he is welcome to PM me and I can give him a list, but I am not going to give him the list here in the open, I don't want to offend anyone here. There are a whole list I have in mind based on years of observation and sometimes first person experiences.
                    I have been here long enough that I do know the different approaches taken by these good builders, I know the methods and styles, the materials they like to use, the kinds of boat that would go to a specific purposes.
                    To imply that people are driven away is simply not true, in any event, I have to disagree with the above post.

                          And no I wasn't responding to your above post haha
                          I figure I'll try to get this guy straight.
                          I offered up my df35 but he didn't pursue it. Oh well. I did sell it cause I got an actual offer on it.

                          I did find this boat still for sale

                                A responsible builder is also going to kind of want to know what boat you want built. There are plenty of people who have experience with building a 30-35" mono, not quite as many have experience with a 40-45" mono.

                                Fwiw, I don't know if you have your heart set on a minimum of 35", but there are a bunch of hulls in the 30-35" range, not so many in the 35-40" range, but there are a handful in the 40-45" range.

                                Some good advice I got a long time ago in regards to trying to help somebody was, "Don't ever try harder than the person you're trying to help".

                                I know the thread seems to have gone sour, but if you read between the lines there is some helpful info in over the last 30 posts, yet you still haven't told us you're budget, what type of boat (more specifically), or the goals you have with it (more specifically). Would you care to share that info?
