      I've got one of those hulls, if you are interested. Shipping is very expensive on these big boats though

                      Resurrecting my old thread, the Smokin Joes needed a major rebuild after discovering the sealed off area of the transom in the rear winglet was rotten and there big cracks around the winglet. (Where the rudder was attached).
                      This boat was raced hard as a nitro boat before its FE conversion and there were a number of previous repairs and areas that needed attention. Plus there was a ton of paint to sand, I discovered the cowl was once painted in Winston orange.
                      I changed the motor mount to a top loader, the old mount was built in before it?s conversion making it impossible to change the motor. Also made a box for the rudder servo that is attached to the back of the main compartment.
                      Everything is now in primer and pretty much sanded, just need a bit of warmer weather to start putting some colour on.

                        Looking good. It's a shame that it needed that much work. Can't wait to see it repainted.

                                Update on my Smokin Joe?s, I finally painted it and finished the decals. Ready for clear and then can get it back together. It got delayed, I had to put together a new nitro scale and I also built a gas Whiplash over the winter. Plus the ML Executone FE 1/8 scale I started years ago is ready for paint.
