      Guys, I have over $500 into mine. This is a steal of a deal. This hull is amazing.

      BTW, it would probably help the sale if you state what is actually in it.

                This is a great boat for N2, a little small for P-spec, but depending on waters, may do well. I haven't raced these, but I do race a very similar hull in N2 (I'm pretty sure the story goes like this: the 1/14th scale Atlas Van Lines design and plans drawn up by Garry Finlay, which Andy Kuntz then used to make the Vac-u mold). it packs a fair bit of air so p-spec speeds would need some work to get her to stay on the water.

                What motor / prop are you including? could you post up a shot of the bottom?

                  The Vac-U-Pickle can be a competitive boat in P Limited Sport Hydro (I still race one) but it is on the small side for that class and must be driven.
                  Air dam is required....

                  History:


                  Capt. Ron Green loaned Phil Pace a Garry Finlay designed Atlas built by Porter Harvey. Phil made the molds for the Vac-U-Pickle from that boat.

                        Would you consider $155 plus 1/2 shipping to 91006 ( CA)
                        Too many boats, not enough time...

                          What kind / size of hull are you looking to trade for? And what speeds?
