    Modified Miss Geico

    Pro Boat Miss Geico
    Hull has extra layers of glass and resin for strength. Spray foam filled nose for flotation and adds rigidness. Epoxy resin coated wood for added strength. Castle Mamba Monster 1800Kv 1518 1Y motor with aluminum cooling jacket. Turnigy T180 ESC. Balanced and polished Prather 225 stainless steel prop. OSE Upgraded flex shaft with octura collet. Kintec offset rudder system. Bottom of the hull has been blueprinted. Battery trays have been lowered. Secondary water pickup & dual water outlets. Custom made Miss Geico deck decal. Will have the stock proboat transmitter,receiver & servo to come with it. The canopy has been fiberglass reinforced and is very strong. I also have a spare stock canopy that will go with it. There is a small hairline crack in front of deck between sponsons. This has been fixed from inside and does not leak and is no longer cracking. It just wasn’t fixed cosmetically on the outside of the boat.

    $590 includes shipping to lower 48 USA

    A very interesting, and innovating rear motor support. Why didn't I get the memo on this?

      It's something I thought up and made. Works great.

            I plan to keep a couple. When I have more time I plan on building something new. I have lots of fun with this hobby. It's just this year I have been wrapped up in amateur radio and building a repeater system for that.

                  I will be happy to work with someone on the shipping cost. Splitting it equally. Or if your close enough to Tennessee I will just ship it for free.

                  I can even sell the set of 5s lipo packs I have to make the boat a complete RTR for a few extra bucks.

                          Helps it ride a little better through the water. I did mine myself. Theres a thread on two geicos hulls I did this to last year.
