    What will i get for this... my scale fast electric.

    This is a graupner kit i built up over 5 years which is a shelf queen rarely seen water,

    if i was looking to sell, what kind of price would i be looking at? it currently has twin 8xl's in it geared. its about 1,35 meters long.

    in the pics it shows the 700bb turbo's, i dont have and pictures of the 8xl's fitted.

    some may notice its missing a bottle screw, i have another 2 trim tab sets, and has been replaced.

    working lights, the jets steer and act as reversing mechanisms, they lower to divert the flow of water.

    im 17 and just need money... i thought long and hard between this and my moonraker...

      Do you know what the biggest problem with the world is?

        that's the whole idea; what do you guys think is a reasonable price for this...?

            My moonraker is bigger and has 3 motors! That's why I'm keeping it

              shipping alone will be over $50...

              To get a better idea of what it is worth, consider all the components in her.
              What speed controls are in there?
              Were the motors new when you got them?
              Is there any damage to the hull?
              Are you including a radio?
              Were the jets stock or did you add them?
              How much did she cost you?
              How much are they going for now (if still available)?
              I would suggest having buyer pay actual shipping - I have noticed it has gone up lately.

              Maybe throw in some pics of the insides, and I would like to see what kind of roost she has while underway... any shots of full speed?

                I have to agree with Jesse.... I do think its a cool boat... I've always condidered getting a large scale boat.... looks alot better in some of the outside pics then your avitar.... but I would want to see the CURRENT "guts" (esc's/motors/etc.) before giveing you any real idea of what its worth.... what about closer up pics of the drives too? Looks like a cool boat just need more info to try and help declare a reasonable value and possibly purchase:)

                        i chose not to include the esc's as there about $900 worth and are completely overrated for this set up
