    ONE OF A KIND custom painted Drambuie on Ice PIP Bittburger Cat

    Letting my PIP Cat go, sad but true. I have gotten to the point where I have a bunch of boats that are all cats and all in the same size range (this ones 34"), so Im letting this one go to fund some other projects. The original owner reportedly paid $400 for the paint on this one. It is truly a beautiful boat. There are a few small stress cracks, but its in pretty good shape overall.
    Comes with rudder, strut, steering servo, ect. The boat currently doesnt have a stuffing tube in it, but I have one here if someone wants me to install it before shipping. I would assume most people would rather put it in exactly how they want, but if someone is newer to FE and would rather not mess with it, let me know and I'll put it in.

    SOLD please send pp as gift or pay the 3% fee.

        I love mine too. Honestly this is probably my favorite boat, but also the only one I have that makes sense to sell.

            I never ran it with the 1518, its actually brand new. I ran it with a 1520/1Y, which is 1600kv instead of 1800kv like the 1518/1Y. I was planning on runing it with the 1518 with the intent of breaking 70mph on 6s and being a respectable sport boat on 4s. My guess would be around 45mph on 4s, and around 70mph on 6s. Here is the boat with a 1600kv on 6s. It handles straight line speed VERY well:

                  I can take some today. My camera is dead right now but I'll throw it on the charger now and take some later.

                      I put a 7/32" stuffing tube in it and ran .187 flex. In the future I know to run 1/4" stuffing tube with .187, and 7/32 tube with .150 flexes. The stuffing tube was too tight on the flex and broke the flex (It seemed tight before going in the water but I went against my intuition and ran it anyway). That was toward the end of the season (its snowing here now) so I havent replaced it with a 1/4" tube yet. The video I posted was with .150 flex, which it ran well with, but .150 will easily break when you are trying to go 60-70mph.

                        Let me know if you need any others.

                        I tried to take pics of the spider cracks I mentioned (they are in the hatch) but they dont show up in the pic. Adding carbon reinforcement (or glass) to the bottom of the hatch would prevent more cracks. The hatch fits great and is easy to tape, but its not super thick so it can flex, whcih is what caused the spider cracks in the paint there.

                              Yes, it actually did pretty well. I havent ran a cat of this size yet that handles chop better. I had it blow over and land a perfect backflip once from a heavy wind gust (weirdest thing ever, even caught it on video), but have never flipped it in a straight line from chop.
                              It doesnt turn like a mono, I have yet to own a cat that turns they way I would like it to. Its killer in the straight though.
