    Those are the 2 nicest hardware setups I have seen yet. I prefer the Triton because of the flood chamber but the Titan looks like a handling machine. Gotta love the straight white hulls. EXCELLENT craftmanship!
    Thank you sir,:)
    The Titan is a good handling machine.

      D.Smock, how much would a Triton and hardware setup like you have go for? I would take the cheap way out and get an SV27 but I want a flood chamber for the obvious reason. Orrrrr..... are you letting go of your Triton anytime soon?????

        Piranha2,
        I don't own one, I built that one for a friend. Check out OSE for all the parts and if you decide to build one, I'll send you some setup pics if you want.

        Hull, Speedmaster stinger and tabs, Fuller turn fin, a 9XL,125 combo would be a good choice, 8XL if you want a real screamer,.150 cable and collet. and a x442 or x642. Steven may have a Neu 1515 1Y if you want more power than you need. :D
        You won't build it for the cost of a SV27, but you won't be sorry either.

          I would say close to 600 for the complete build Piranha.

            Thats in the ballpark unless you go Nue, Hydra and 4s2p. Then you'll be over a grand.

              $600 is reasonable......D. Smock, SJFE thank you for all the advice and knowledge you have provided to the newbies out here.....as far as Steven, thank you for giving me that FE bug when I visited you a couple of months ago in the showroom. You showed me everything RTR then said, "yeah, but you really want one of these though!". A custom hull with flood chamber. hmm.....thanks?
