    How about we split shipping? Flat rate of $15 for you.
    I am not able to go over $300. I have a similar setup for the same price in my area. I appreciate that you lowered the shipping.
    Shipping to a commercial location help?

      Maybe I've been sniffing too much Ambroid, but I see a possible deal here. I'll give $50 for the lipo's and charger stuff, plus an extra $15 to cover your offer to ship the boat to Finast Racing, plus whatever it'll cost to ship the lipo's and charger stuff to me. Could this be a win-win-win? I'd really like to get all the used lipo's and chargers, Finast gets the boat, and you get exactly what you asked?

      If this works out, what should I paypal to ya? (Yup, there goes all my winnings from the Belmont Stakes!)

        Wow, I did not expect that offer! Thank you very much, sir! I accept that offer as long as Finest Racing does as well. I (we) will wait to hear from him.

          Please see Banjo's generous offer to cover the split shipping. Will you take the deal for $300 then? Remember, the deal includes the extra props as well.

                  Payment received. I will do my best to ship it out tonight after work. At the latest, it will go out tomorrow. Have fun and be good to her, she is a fine runner!

                        I opened the box Thursday two weeks after receiving it. I have been extremely busy and I have been biting my nails to open it. It is as described. Put it in the water yesterday for the first time from out of the box. I put two Zippy 3s 5000 (6S total) in there for the test run. I set the GPS in side and went out for 5 minutes and came back in to check the temps. Everything was cool. Max speed was 55mph. Ran across the water perfect.

                        For just throwing the batteries in and guessing where to place the batteries and calm water = excellent results. I was side by side against a Genesis with a 2,200kv running on 4s. The Genesis has been recorded at 54mph.

                        Excellent sale!!!

                          She is a runner for sure and I dialed her in perfectly. The extra capacitors really help take stress off the ESC. Thank you for the update and I am happy that you are happy with her. Enjoy!

                            I am hoping to run her tomorrow in a NAMBA P Open Shore class. I will put her to the test. :-)
                            Thanks again

                              I finished in 2nd place at the Division 1 NAMBA race - A/B Hydro Class this past weekend. I was the only electric boat in the class besides a Fighter Cat that came for one heat and left. All other boats were nitro and gas. Thanks to Ken for lending me his sharpened and balanced M445 for the final. Made a huge difference. For me to be competitive, I had to stay in lane one on the inside all the way around. I was hugging the buoys. All in all, a great day. A gas and nitro crowd - some even said they were impressed how the Miss Geico stood up to the other boats.
