    31' Dumas Prather

    This is a Prather hull I've had for awhile. I decided to set it up as a nice ready to run boat. All of the running hardware and components are brand new. All purchased from Offshore Electrics.( I have the receipts) It has a TFL P1 drive system with a 2960 motor.
    Seaking 180 amp ESC
    Aluminum trim tabs
    Traxx waterproof servo
    Traxx am radio system ( I know it's old school buts all I had to get the boat setup. )
    It is painted and cleared with automotive grade paint.

    Length-31' Width-9' Weight-5 lbs. (with 1 4s battery pack.)
    Asking $225

    Could you add pics of transom and bottom? Good to see depth of outdrive.
    Have you ran it? If so, how'd it do?
    Thanks

      Can only post 5 pictures on this site. I can send you some additional pictures if you want.
      I have not ran it. I don't have any batteries.

            I ran the boat today with a 4s battery and it runs well and fast. I have a short video I can send to any interested buyers.

              I would be interested in seeing the video. Is there any way you can post it here?

                    I just want to say this particular Prather looks beautiful and a very nicely built boat. I spoke to tigers2016 and he said he made no adjustments to the boat upon completion. He just got a 4S battery put it in, greased the shaft, oiled the bearings on the motor and then put in the water and started running the boat but gently at first since everything was new and have not been broken in. He did say later on he pushed the boat harder and after a run of over 4 min when he brought it in everything was barely warm. I told him from the sound of the boat running on the video it could use more prop or prop up. That would even increase the speed faster than what I saw on the video which BTW the boat seems to run good. So I suppose with some fine adjustments the boat will most likely run even better. The outdrive looks super nice and matches the sexy lines of the boat. I wish I could get this one as well but I already bought one of tigers2016 custom 45" mono that he built starting with the hull and up which all I can say is it's AWESOME. He then entered the boat in the 2016 Toledo Weak Signals Model Expo and took 2nd place in the Pleasure Boat class. . .hope to see more custom builds from him and specially for what he charges for his boats it's a deal that's hard to beat. Also a great guy to talk to and willing to accommodate any of your particular needs if necessary . . .I guess you figured it by now that I'm happy with the boat that I got from him. Not only did I get a beautifully custom built boat with a beautiful paint job but after some fine tuning it was also a great running boat. just my 2 cents about his style :)

                      Thanks for the kind words.
                      I don't really have the time or place to run boats. I dropped the price to $275. If nobody wants a good boat at a good price I will keep it and put it on a shelf in my hobby shop.
