      Haha... I think I'm getting that barbwire for my son. I buy most my equipment from Cris at Fine Design and he has one in stock for him and he highly recommends I go this route.

      What happened to your MG hull? A few weeks back I cracked the seem in 29MG when I had a blow over after putting a 180 esc and a 4.8 hp motor from Fine Design Marine. So I reinforced the hull. I just need to paint it now. And sand off some of my repairs from the inside. We put too much stuff on the inside and weighed the boat down too much. She still is fast but it shaved a good amount of speed off her. Good thing is, now she is strong and so heavy I haven't had a blow over since I fixed her

        Thanks for the discount tip jetskier. I will get it from cris tho. I asked him to hold 1 for my boy. He gives me excellent service and hooks me up so I won't sell him out to save 20 bucks. I do appreciate the info

            It's just an ugly abused hull... Seem split up front, like 8 inches, stress cracks everywhere, transom is all weirdly shaped, a prop mark going across the back of it lol

              Oh damn!!!!! That things banged up. Maybe it is good for jumping waterfalls. Haha.

              My seem split a few inches. So I repaired it and reinforced the seems. Now she just needs some paint after I grind down some of the extra resin. Since she's my first fast boat I'm going to improve my driving skills some then ill get a new good hull.

                        Ohh SHOOT!!! I thought my MG was banged up. Yours cat looks like she's from tha war. But you have a whole fleet of mini's and a nice hydro. How does she run? How is her stability and what kind of speeds does she do?


                        Soon I'm gunna my MG back to stock and get a boat that's made to handle high speed to put my motor and esc into. I'm not sure if I should get a real cat or a hydro that can handle my motor?

                          Lol right? Actually, my buddy's dad gave that UL-1 hull to mean monday.. I put all the stock electrics from MG into it. I just got the flex shaft in it today so she's 100% done. I've never driven a hydro before so I'm actually kinda nervous to take it out. I rigged the hell outta it so I hope she works lol

                          On a side note, the 17" mg stock was about as fun to drive as going to school. Literally did two laps around the pool and pulled it out! LAME!

                          I've got the mini mono setup in it right now but haven't tested her yet.

                            Cool. Let me know how hydro runs after you test her please. I'm think she'll go faster than miss geico and might even handle better in smooth water. But I'm qurious how she will ride all around.

                            If your into small boats check out that barbwire. The guy I get my equipment from can't say enough good things about it.
