    ML Boatworks '90 Winston Eagle Lobster 1/8th Scale FE

    As much as I may need the money, I am going to hold on to this hull until I see what happens with some job prospects I have in the next couple weeks. I just cannot do it!


    Well, I am being forced to sell off most all of my boating collection due to unemployment after 13 years. This is the first item in a long sale list that is being posted right now. Please post questions or Dibs here.

    ML Boatworks laser cut framed up '90 Winston Eagle Lobster FE 1/8th scale hydroplane. This hull is complete with RCboatworks cowling, Phil Thomas wing- ski-driver kit, Speedmaster hardware (1/4" flex, dual pick up rudder, strut, etc.), NEU 1527 1Y 1250kv motor w/ OSE cooling jacket, Virginia Craftsman skid fin, Custom Leyde racing turbine tube bracket, Williams racing motor mount, Carbon fiber custom Turbine tube w/ chrome wrapping, Aeromarine thru fittings for ESC and Motor, Mike Mcknight graphics, Dupont Urethane primer, House of Kolor Molly Orange, Dupont Chromabase White, Dupont 2k Urethane clear paintwork. This boat is only really lacking ESC and Steering servo (Selling both items in another thread here). I have had this boat in the water 1 time to take pictures. It has never been run, bottom of sponsons are not even scuffed yet. This is a brand new build, all wood, West Systems 105/205 Epoxy. Not counting labor, I have around $1550 invested, I will let this go for $1375 plus exact shipping.Thanks, Mike Luszcz

          Mike makes the kits. This boat was his design. And this one is an absolute dream build. I bet he has several hundred hours of labor put this boat. Someone is going to get a one of a kind setup here. You can follow the build over on RumRunner. I doubt anyone could make this boat any better then as it sits.

            Thanks for the comments guys. I talked to the gentleman above that was interested in a kit just a minute ago. I really doubt anyone will pay the money I need out of the boat, which is funny because if you total up all the hardware, motor, glass parts, $1375 is no where close to covering it! Maybe I can get some employment before this one sell tho. If you like this build, check out the '85 Dominos Pizza listed!

                    Thanks for all the kind comments. I have thought this over, and I cannot do it. I just cannot sell it. I want to see what happens with some job prospects I have in the next couple weeks. If those fall threw, I will move forward. Thanks, Mike

                      Good luck with the job search Mike.
                      It broke my heart to see this one up for sale. I completely enjoyed the night I spent with her! LOL

                        I will hopefully be interviewing for the job of my dreams in a week or two. Full time, retirement pension, health benefits, vacation, possible $0-$20,000 pay increase over my old job (thats the pay range), 5% raise after 6 months, and my experience and background are a perfect match, and I use to work directly with one of the guys holding the interviews at my old job. I hope this job ends up with me. But, nothing is set in stone until it is, so we will see. Doug, can I call you tomorrow. Ran out of time today as I was out of town so we can discuss your warship/cargo freighter fantasies, HAHAHA
