DF Explorer cat hull/hardware

[kevinpratt823]

She's a runner, not a shelf queen, but still not bad looking. Worst damage is on the port sibe transom, got hacked by the prop on my retrieval boat. They were filled in with epoxy, and none of those spots are part of the ride pad. One small nich in the front of a ride pad filled in, could use a quick sand if you feel necessarry. Rudder was offset with a PB Impulse bracket/shaft slightly modified and thinned on the bottom edge, will also include the regular inline rudder piece, along with the .187 flex and a M645 prop b/s/cupped. My best was 69.7 mph in this with a Leo 4082/1600kv on 6s. Brass nipple soldered to stuffing tube for quick oiling with silicone tube. Hatch locks have O-rings on them for sealing, and foam rubber weatherstripping tape around hatch opening. I never taped this hatch, and even after 5-10 min. upside down, very little water got in, but that's just me. Genral Lee Decals have seen better days, and I did the quick windshield paint job with a can and a paint marker outline. Not really looking for offers, if it doesn't sell maybe I'll gear it up again and run it. shipping in lower 48 states USPS.
Price $180 shipped, as is, $150 local pickup. SOLD to Olwarbirds

Kevin, got the boat today and had in the water already this evening....very impressed ! ....tks for a great deal we are very pleased....we put a Leo 4082 2000kv on 6S 65-130c 5300mah it actually leaps out of the water if you have a heavy trigger finger wooohoooo ! couple of questions, is the flexshaft for a particular model or is it a custom made, with the included motor mount did you use a motor with motor jacket..it was really tight getting the 4082 with short water jacket on. Gonna strip guts and lay some CF in it and do a new paint job, but first gonna get some video of how it is now, I will forward vid link to ya...again tks... DJ

I'm pretty sure it's just a regular .187 flex cut to length. And yes I did use a 4082 with short jacket, you may have to loosen the screw for the rear ring(or take it out) and pry the ring apart a touch. I don't remember having any major problems though. Be careful, 6s/2000kv is some serious rpm's/amps, especially if your using the M645 I had on it. With a 4082/1600kv I was pulling over 200 amps.
Glad you are happy with it!
