So the apparition and genesis have been the same ole hull for quite some time now. I wanted to try and convince tfl to offer wider versions of these hulls. Wouldn't it be nice to have one of these awesome looking boats in a version that would turn pretty well? I think so. Personally I think they are some of the best looking hulls on the market. I thought tfl was going to do this a while back on the genesis but it looks like the only refresh it got was a different paint job. I see an apparition 2 but I can't tell any difference. I think a lot of customers skip over the genesis because it does not turn well and neither does the apparition. Maybe if enough people showed interest in it, we may be able to make it happen. So vote and also voice your concerns. Both I think would be a very welcome update to what's currently available.

A modded splash sits better with me than a splash, so I hope they do mod them and discontinue the current ones. I prefer wider cats for my uses too.Paul Upton-Taylor, Greased Weasel Racing.Comment

There is one way...cut and widen one, take a mould off it and make hulls. Hey TFL might get a tetchy about it but if they won't do it... Essentially though it would be your own design. Just the way I see it.NZMPBA 2013, 2016 Open Electric Champion. NZMPBA 2016 P Offshore Champion.

Yea that was my plan but I didn't want to tick anyone off with announcing that publicly. I'm going to give them a chance and see if they will, there is definitely money to be made selling wider versions. If they choose not to, then I may do it myself. While I'm at it, the hatch opening will get bigger to for ease of building and battery choices. I am going to send one of their reps a link to this thread so guys, the more interest shown the better chance we may have.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

I don't recall who, but someone on here already widened a Genesis, he added about 2 inches to the tunnel IIRC.Paul Upton-Taylor, Greased Weasel Racing.Comment

Some time ago. I cut & shut two Genesis hulls together to make a wide 'M' hull cat. Had three motors, each on a 4s pack. I must drag it out of the mothballs & have a few more runs with it. Although I've robbed the motors & ESC's for other projects.
Here was its second test run.
See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!
