    36" SilverFox Catamaran

    Never really hear anything about these Hulls. Bought one and the quality seems really good so I started to build it. Being it is in the teens outside and I hate the cold may as well do something fun while trapped indoors.

        Nice to know they are decent. I almost bought one before I got my Blackjack. I will keep it in mind for a future project.

          They sell them as empty hulls or set up for single and twins. Mine was a empty hull but they supply you with the motor mounting kit. I just used what I had in the house though their mount looked pretty good.

            This Hull is a splash of a DF Explorer. Painted notgel coat. I've had a few of their cats in the past, back then they were pretty nice.

            The wood mounts they supply with some is low quality. Their composite mount might be better.

            Nice splash but not the quality of DF.

              It came with the composite mount which was really nice and it allows for single or dual motor mounting, they also include battery trays for mounting on the tunnel. Overall it is a pretty good bang for the buck but the real test is when I get it in the water.

                Also buy that hull. Only the postal service in my country is terribly slow.
                I'm anxious to see them, the prices at the auctions were ridiculous.
                You should receive one of double motor configuration and one without drilling.
                They must be depleting the residual stock.

                    I don't now about depleting old stock. He has a web page that stated out of stock for a few days then the boat hulls were back in stock. He still may be having them made. Not sure but you can always ask him. He replies right away.

                      Yes, I have already bought two. Only they are detained in customs 20 days ago.
                      The hull only $ 31.

                            It was all good till the customs tax. I emailed them their supplier is still building them the hulls.
