    FS: 25" TFL hobby Vee hull new

    See photos below. Offering this hull for sale. I decided I wanted to build a different 24" hull I already had. This hull is very nice and shiny. It is just for the hull, nothing else, only what is in the photos but not including the background...

    Also known as a "RC prince" hull and also sold by Head of River. HOR bare hull without the internal wood mounts is $50 + 24 SH from HOR on eflay.

    Now for this hull. This hull has the carbon fiber windshield decal and also the elusive skunkworks logo on top. Looks really good! The hatch does not fit perfect, but it tapes down fine. I showed how much it is off in one of the photos. The transom is drilled for the standard hardware, stinger and rudder (no tabs or turn fins) The wood in the hull is really impressive. All laser cut and fits together great. servo and receiver mount, the motor mount is there as well as a center Lipo mount.

    The number one complaint that I found on these hulls is the wood is only glued in and will break free. I agree on this one, so I glassed it in with a resin/milled fiber mixture. Secure now.

    I also put some spray foam inside the bow section. Not too much, as I didn't want it to expand and warp the hull. You can see how much in one of the photos.

    The only flaw on this boat is two spider web cracks in the gelcoat. The hatch has one towards the back. The hull has one shown in the photos. It is on the starboard side about 6" from the transom and a half inch from the keel. It is difficult to see, but you can feel it if you run your finger over it. I hear this is common on these boats and it seems reasonable with how thin the gelcoat must be.

    I am asking $45 shipped for this hull in the lower 48. Let me know,paypal is fine.

            sold

            well, Bustitup replied with first firm I will take it. Will send a PM in a bit when I get to work. Looks like some of my paypal money will be coming back

            other PM sent also. Always looking for other trades or items. Right now I am getting ready to put an order into HK and OSE.

            I need a 380 size brushless in the 2700 kv range, water cooled or one that will take an external jacket.

            smaller brushless speed controls. Like the Mystery 30 or 40 amp, or the HKSS 25 amp or 40 amp. I have an extra HK35 right now, didn't realize it was 2000kv and below only!

            Was buying cheap lipo's, Turnigy 3s-20c 1800's and Turnigy 2s-20c 1300's.

            Also need a source for some 2 or 3 channel 75 Mhz single conversion FM receivers (like the hitec ones) or a 2.4Ghz radio like the Tactic.

            pictured below are a few fiberglass hulls that I have that I made. They kind of look like a "wild thing" that I see others building here. made these molds about 14 years ago, these hulls are a couple years old. Has a shallower Vee than the RC prince hull. No strakes except for the outer spray strake. these are easy to make and attach as each user wanted them. They weigh 15 to 16 oz each. Polyester gelcoat and resin, fiberglass matt. I would be more than willing to trade for these also.

            Not sure what else I have for trade. Picco marine .90's? Bit odd for a FE forum, will have to dig them out for pics. Also Gas mono's, hulls, zenoah, homelite.....

            Here is pics of the 24" mono's

                    Good idea, but to late. UPS already picked it up. Did you ever get your ECO? Maybe mine will beat it there!!!
