[Steven Vaccaro]

They were very tight lipped about the whole thing. Terry or Prop will you be at the nats?

Can't do it this time. Have to make a trip to NY this summer to see a specialist for my youngest. Jay and Tom are supposed to be making the trip though. There are at least 4 of us talking Jersey in 12 but that's forever from now. Sure would like to make that trip again. SO much fun. Be cool to shoot the poo with Doug Sr. again too.

I get the tight lipped thing. That makes plenty of sense but get some expert advice. If I were going to market a gas boat I'd be hunting down someone that new the deal with them. It's just good business. I mean they don't have a carpenter design their RC trucks. The have an RC car guy do that. Although, who knows really, just because we didn't know much about it doesn't mean they had no input from some FE guy. You know what they about "ASSuME".

I would like to see the Spartan in fiberglass with some nice running gear and motor esc. I think it's a cool hull design done all wrong

[chummer]

Would be a sweet boat but it would'nt be selling in the $400 range.

[dana]

Yeah well most people spent extra money to use 6s. So really at $400 for boat , then what another 200 for motor/esc? $600 plastic boat. They could make them right and charge more money and get away with it.

[Alexgar]

400 +250 if they were new and bought lipos and a charger at the lhs and another 200 to fix the bum motor and esc now we have an 850 price tag

Schwing! Don't be such a tease Steven. We can keep a secret. Spill it. haha

The Spartan is a great looking boat. Great lines. Nice paint scheme. Even the hardware isn't bad. They were SO close to something great. I had high hopes. They've done so many other things well I thought for sure this would be a slam dunk.

Having done the vac forming thing myself I have to wonder just how little they are spending on the hull. I'll bet that finish costs more than the material for the hull.

Fantastic !!Sure they'll be 31"-33" with that kind of power. I know you've done your homework & these should open the door to some solid product. Three cheers, Sir
