    I did deal with him when I first got into the hobby. He does seem to know what he's talking about, he just isn't a respectable business man in my opinion. I think you will find many others on here with the same opinion.
    I didn't want to bash him, but you should know the truth.

      If Danny Fine stated what you state, you were then sold a bridge we all know.

        Indeed Danny, this sounds bogus and I am not a fan of Fine Design

        Gas Cat runs 63mph on GPS, I wanted electric. Fine Design told me the electric he would build me would make my gasser look silly. Hasn't happend yet.

            Please also include what props you have tried. This could be very helpful as well for others to provide input.

                Correct, and I am under the assumption the business was sold to Danny but Chris is still there

                Edit

                Why, did you not ask some people on many sites as to the setup proposed by the Fines? $3,000 I would

                  I think that's in the past. At least it's here on the record now.

                  Let's see if the members here can help, no use feeling bad over money already spent. It's best to look forward to the future of this boat and setup, for good or bad.

                  After all, worst case scenario, he can ship it to me! But for the record I was the first to say it

                      You , bought the bridge, if that is the case, I am very sorry for your experience. On another note I was not aware he sold Thunder Power batteries

                        are you saying I got "screwed"? please explain Not looking to get bashed, looking for a boat that will run 65+ MPH on GPS. From my experience, which is little, Most people have no clue and the money to make a boat run 65Mph on GPS, most claim the speed and can't back it up. I am trying to post my reciept, says the file is to big, 65kb?

                          A quick suggestion...more flotation! I know I'm on my soap box now, but don't hesitate to put extra flotation in and certainly don't forget to affix some to the hatch

                          I'm going to let some of the other more experienced guys provide additional input on the setup. Do you know what props you tried on it? To me, that prop looks small, but I don't have experience with the larger boats.

                            Please don't post the receipt. You can list, but don't post. That is a conflict of interest all around for various reasons.

                                The front is loaded with floatation and I took out the side ones for pics' Chris says it will float "level" if ever crashed or flipped
