Relax old man. You own and operate a store so you should expect criticism. The way you handle business.

Phillip, Chris, you guys need to settle it outside the forum please.
Exchange email addys, phone numbers, whatever, but this is going to go no where in a hurry here.


Thank you sirs,
Doug

Well I have to say first and for most if the owner is happy than there is no problem. On the other hand I have seen a few of the boats Fine Design puts out and am not that impressed. 60MPH on 10S 48" hull nothing to brag about. I will not question the validity of the speed as it is 100% possible. I have 15 years of experience and run a 44" MHZ on twins that will do 80MPH of 5S per side all day long.

PS - it will out accelerate anything Fine Design has in that class as he very rarely does twin setups.

Setup if you are one of those i need to know people:

MHZ Mystic 44" Carbon/Kevlar
MHZ Rudder
MHZ Stingers
MHZ Hardware
SeaKing 180s V3
Leopard 4082 2200KV
L & R 450 3Blade Cleavers

GPS speed on 4S 5000mAh per motor - 60MPH
GPS speed on 5S 5000mAh per motor - 80MPH

would like to see some more close up photos of interior of hull and of transom to see hardware used. looks like it is running pretty good.

PS - the new paint job looks killer, are there going to be decals applied. would love to see a photo of finished hull.

Yes I am curious on that also and at what price the total package was - Please don't take this request wrong as I understand a person has to factor in there time building a boat I am just curious what a package costs as opposed to someone doing it themselves .

Good luck with the boat, seems cool and I might one day get into v bottoms..
However I need to say this, fine design is a red flag, with false accusations on speeds and tips.sorry I had to speak out on him hope this doesn't piss any one off but the truth is the truth..

Pwb201 I'm not sure why this needed to be said on this thread? The poster Hor2012 was only trying to show us his new boat. Not get a bashing about the company he bought it from. If you have a problem with Chris, he's a phone call away. you are also welcome to post your own thread about the boat you bought from Fine and the reasons you are so upset about it.

My apologies Steve, couldn't help my self this time. Won't happen again. FYI Steve I did try to call and work situation out with J O but was not successful. As are lots of people I meet on this forum and at races,but again I'll leave well enough alone. After all who needs a hobby store in no mans land when all I need is right here on this forum.if you'd like to hear my side I'd be glad to have a private convo and tell you the horror story I went through.

@ electriconly, I have that set up as well exactly and I dooooo believe I had it first
