    CT13s - Chris Tonn designed sport/scale hydroplane

    This hull that im deciding to sell is truly an amazing piece and one that WILL NOT be open to purchase like this ANYWHERE (especially here) for a long time.

    Its a "CT13s" designed by Chris Tonn in Germany, whom is more specifically known for his 1/6 scale turbine and FE hulls, this hull is an exact duplicate of his 1/6 scale version that came before this. The build quality is absolutely superb and it looks stunning as it is already, and will not take much work to be ready for a nice paintjob. I know theres a TON of catamaran builds and HPR gets a lot of credit for his handiwork, but im willing to wager that this hull is easily of equal quality or better to Hans hulls'.

    But even better is the design of the hull.... as a 1/8 scale guy here in the U.S., ive seen alot of different hulls now and yet this one, not even a 1/8 scale or even true scale for that matter, blows them all out of the water! Despite being only 31" long and 16" wide, the hull is a beast and drives like its on rails, its been clocked as high as 87mph on a 6s setup, which most guys seem to use, but alot of guys have done twin motor setups as well. In addition, its very simple to setup, and the hatch sits flush and was designed with FE in mind to be easily taped all around for a good seal. Even with just a typical spec setup like UL-1 power or other 4s setups, it would still peform splendidly.... but beg for more! All this performance, while still maintaining a solid, scale look resembling the full size boats. I can provide a setup sheet with configuration and component requirements too.

    I really dont want to sell it as its exciting to look at and hold every time I pick it up, but even more exciting is the 1/6 scale version which I should be recieving shortly, so I need to get some extra funds for that build. Im actually probably only going to list this here for a few days as I can more easily sell it on the overseas/German forum. But I still wanted to show this to people here and provide the opportunity to someone to keep it in the states and enjoy it :) So im selling it for cheaper than I would be if I list it for the guys overseas, and a TON cheaper than what I paid for it. Not to mention if you indeed could have one of these made for you, it takes about 8-12 weeks before you get it and shipping is alot

    hull comes with complete rear wing set, carbon cockpit windshield frame, and carbon rear tray.

    heres a video of one running with a twin motor setup:


    375$ and free shipping within the continental U.S.

        hey sorry for the late reply.

        I had decided I was actually going to keep it, but if you would like to purchase it then ill let it go.
