    Is it worth $400 ? That hull looks nice though.

    Not bad looking at all. The CG does look off in the vid and I would have liked to see them turn it at full thottle. Its a little on the narrow side so it may not turn real good at high speed.

      it will need more motor and esc to be fun, also will require a better prop
      and as long as I'm being honest it kind of looks a bit bubbly to me personally
      I have seen this boat in person http://cgi.ebay.com/32-catamaran-ART...742.m153.l1262 and I think is is a better looking boat.
      The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

        I have that 32" Apparition cat as well. Changed the motor to a 9XL Feigao,Turnigy Sentilon ESC, X642 prop. She flies.

          The video was made at Legg lake. I've never seen them running the boat there, but I'll let you know if I do. I agree, it is tail heavy to be sure. And I really question the 20 minute run time per charge. 2400 mAh cells?? 20 minutes?? That would mean it was only pulling 7.2 amps. Seems off.
          Don't get me started

                  It turns very quick, stable, and does not tip over like my other BJ26 cat. This hull can handle 9XL Feigao motor very well.

                      Did anyone lisen to the full overview of the boat? IMHO i think the paint scheme could have been better. It seemed to crowded if you know what I mean. The hull might be pretty cool to have but a different setup. Im 100% sure some guy will make a DUAL SETUP of one of these. Now that would be sweet to see.

                      I agree with that statment it just didnt seem to flow together like a jolly or a mean machine.

                          Which ESC are you using? I'm running mine on a Turnigy Sentilon HV 100Amp ESC, 3S 11.1v 2200mAh 2x parrallel Lipos.
