        That looks like the TFL Zonda hull. Very popular boat, also called a Fightercat Fantasm. Do a search on these forums you’ll find all the information you need. Some have this boat going over 100MPH. I have a carbon version, but haven’t built it yet...too many boats, not enough time!

            Yes MHZ are considered superior but are they worth the extra cost? A TFL hull with a well done inlay would be perfectly sufficient as proven by the numerous builds on this forum, and for a fraction of the cost. Were I to buy another TFL Zonda, I would forgo the carbon version and get the fibreglass one with the nice graphics, then do the inlay for extra strength. A little heavier maybe, but sometimes this is a good thing.

            I managed to purchase a new MHZ hull here in Australia that someone was selling but payed through the nose for it. I was very impressed with the hull, I liked the scale features such as the lines moulded into the surface for escape and engine hatches, however there was still many small imperfections that will require filling. Had it not come up for sale locally I couldn’t justify buying one from Germany. I bought the MHZ stingers to go with this hull and payed close to $500AUD.

              MHZ Stingers are definitely not worth the money.
              Kent on here cfp i think, he has awesome stingers and he is in Adelaide, Australia the op was asking about the TFL hull i have one and its ok for the price but for something real fast i wouldn't go the TFL route my 2 cents, and as for the graphics that will soon rip off with the hatch tape ,peeles strait off, awesome Chinese quality

                  i don't think royalcasa would mind since we are talking about a brand he's interested in.
                  hughb said it correctly.
                  i studied and had more time reading on here when building and settin' up my Popeye than building it. i did the CF inlay and need to step the motor down, i built it for Drag.
                  so to Mr. Royalcasa build that TFL (tender floating love, tremendous flying lift, tumultuous flat leveler)? what does TFL stand for? Terra Firma LTD. isn't that nice.

                          are you going to do this boat and post a build thread?
