    Pro Boat Minis 2x Mini-C and 2x Mini-V

    EDIT:
    I do have a couple of hulls in ok shape and a mess of parts and pieces for both boats still laying around if anyone needs anything specific let me know and i will post pics.
    Everything I already had listed is sold Except for the Mini-V hull/hardware pictured below and that has been reduced to $22 Shipped. All goes on Ebay next week if I don't have anymore interest.


    Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the forums and FE boats, but have already conducted several purchases on here that have gone flawlessly and I can offer my 350 feedback 100% positive ebay account for "assurance" to anyone who doesn't know me yet.

    What I have:

    When I first got started in the hobby a few months back, I bought a bunch of Proboat minis, some new some not. I have a few extra hulls and boats laying around that aren't getting any use. I have four currently that I run with the kids in the family; including one with an upgraded brushed motor and one with a brushless setup that just screams. I also have the four boats you see below which are just collecting dust on my shelf. I thought I would offer them here before I send them off to Fleabay.

    I have 4 Boats up for sale, selling to fund my other projects..
    this hobby really is addicting started with a homebulit boat from an ABS hull 6 months ago,
    and now own a dozen boats, some still in the making so I need funding and parts
    I can't bring myself to throw any more money at this hobby without selling what I'm not using.

    2 Mini C and 2 Mini V
    All come with Pictured stands
    and only what is in the pictures, see details below
    and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

    There will be 4 posts below, each with pictures of its respective boat so that there is no confusion as to which one is which.

    The complete boats (boats #1 & #4)
    will come with a Dead on Arrival guarantee as I tested them myself this week.

    The hulls (boats #2 & #3)
    are just that; hulls with only what is pictured for each one.

    All prices will include Priority shipping within the United States
    HI and AK please check with me to make sure shipping isn't outrageous.. but it shouldn't be too bad on this size box.
    NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.. sorry no exceptions.. I've been doing ebay long enough to know that I do not want to hassle with this.
    $50 insurance will be an extra $2 for each boat if you choose just add $2 to the money you send me and make sure to PM me a reminder that you purchased insurance.

    ALL COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT SELLING THESE BOATS WILL BE CONDUCTED ON THE OPEN FORUMS HERE

    I will not consider a boat sold until someone posts that they will take it and payment is received.. these are first come first serve. I've been around enough on here to see this is the easiest way to run things. I will not hold these boats for anyone without a payment or at least a deposit.. sorry guys I've been down that road too many times with other deals..

    I usually do my business shipping every other day, figuring a day for packing, Boats should ship within 2 business days.
    END FINE PRINT

    I also have an assortment of Parts for these if you need something specific ask, I may have it
    and
    I would consider trading for the following to further my habit:

    -3/16 stinger strut used or new
    -S/B props in the 35-42mm range (2 or possibly smaller 3 blade)
    -RH prop for 1/4" drive in the 67-75mm range (my brother is finishing a gas build and needs one, plasti/Glass or metal considered its his first boat)
    -New or slightly used .125 flex cables with 1/8 or 3/16 prop shafts
    -1/8" to 1/8" (.125) Flex Hex (x2)
    -1/8" drive dogs
    -Good condition High Torque servo
    -stuffing tube for .125 shaft
    -Deans Ultras in New or Like New condition (male and female)
    -and possibly other assorted items whatcha got?

    Boat #1 Mini C RTR

    Boat #1 Mini C RTR SOLD to Egneg


    Boat 1 is a Mini-C is complete and is lightly used but in great running condition. Only issues with the boat are that there is a very small crack on the decorative silver canopy that sits on the actual hatch.. it is a very small crack that doesn't affect anything and is sealed off from the actual boat compartment so no leaks. see pics for details. The small pin that latches the front of the hatch has also been broken off as is common with these boats, but won't affect anything if you plan on taping the hatch (which I would recommend). Comes with: hull, all hardware, motor, ESC/RX remote, charger, battery etc... stand, completely RTR except for AA batteries.
    $55 shipped Priority Mail includes DOA guarantee

      Boat #2 Mini-V Hull with hardware

      Boat #2 Mini-V Hull Like New with hardware



      Boat 2 is a like new hull that is in tip top shape. I believe this one had a bad RX so I don't think it has even seen the water.

      Comes with the hull, motor mount, strutter installed and a stand. $29 Shipped Priority Mail

      EDIT: Price Reduced to $24 Shipped Priority Mail

      EDIT: PRICE REDUCED $22 Shipped
      If the boat doesn't sell this weekend it goes on Ebay next week with the rest of my PB mini parts and pieces. Would rather sell it on here to someone that could use it. So offers welcome and would really love to trade for a 3/16 Strut (stinger preferred.. but all considered) and of course willing to kick in some cash on my end depending on the strut

        Boat #3 Mini-C Hull

        Boat #3 Mini-C Hull SOLD to Wolf

        Boat 3 is a lightly used Mini-C hull that I was originally going to use for a brushless project myself. So I stripped it , cleaned it and pulled the top decal off. Hull is in Great shape with the exception of some minor defects: the pin that holds the front of the hatch down is broken (not an issue if you tape the hatch which I highly recommend on the C's), There is very small cracks in the decorative canopy on top of the hatch and a tiny chip on the tip of the right sponson (not all the way to the seam). Both are very small and not through the hull so they don't leak a drop (see pics below).
        Comes with Hull, Motor mount, antenna tube, and stand no other hardware. Only what is pictured.
        $25 shipped priority mail

        EDIT: After closer inspection on this hull, I had to test it again. So I just dipped it nose first to leak test, and sure enough it did take on a bit of water, nothing a touch of epoxy wouldn't fix, It looks like the Left sponson though uncracked is just starting to come loose at the seam. Ironically I don't think the chipped sponson is leaking at all, if someone wants to mess with fixing its yours. If I were going to keep it I would just run a small bead of epoxy around the seam.. I would say under a half hour fix start to finish.
        Price dropped to $20 Shipped Priority. . . guessing nearly half of that will go to shipping. If this one doesn't find a home I will just keep it for a future build.

        PRICE REDUCED to $15 Shipped Priority Mail

          Boat #4 Mini-V RTR

          Boat #4 Mini-V RTR SOLD to silvr_tung_devl



          Boat 4 is a lightly used Mini-V which I water tested last week and runs great. The only "flaw" with this boat is that once again, the infamous front plastic clip was broken shortly after I got the boat. The best way I have found to repair this so that it won't break again is with a piece of aluminum tubing as you can see in the pics below. I have done this to two seperate Mini-Vs and it works better than the stock clip while adding almost no weight. I have found that the V's not so much the C's are surprisingly waterproof without taping and very tough to flip so I often run my stock Mini-V's without taping. Boat includes: Hull with complete hardware, battery, charger, remote, ESC/RX, etc... This hull is totally RTR except for AA Batts.

          And I know in the last picture that it looks like the RX wire is epoxied to the hatch, but I assure you its not ..just a bad camera angle

            Oh, and forgot to mention I have the original manuals and I believe some other paperwork from Proboat to go with each boat, even the bare hulls.

            Also, any damage on the boats, ie: the minor cracks in hatches are a result of poor packaging in shipping or an accidental bump in transport, not from abuse.
            (I guarantee packing won't be an issue with me I've been packing for my ebay listings for years and guarantee the boats will arrive to you in the condition that they ship)
            None of these boats have been crashed or otherwise abused in any way.. any flaws are minor and cosmetic.
            Ok, a lot of typing for little boats. gonna give the specs for anyone that isn't familiar with them and I'm done..

            Both the C and V are setup for 380 size motors
            Both models are made of a lightweight ABS plastic
            Both have a combination Strut/Rudder (and I believe they are 3mm drive lines)
            Both have excellent scale running and look surprisingly realistic as they get up on plane and have no trouble staying there
            Both have an ESC/RX combo with Reverse
            Both are an inexpensive way to have some good fun on the water,
            make a great starter boat for someone just getting into the hobby
            or are a very fun little brushless build

            Mini-C
            * Length:14.5 in (368mm)
            * Beam:4.75 in (121mm)
            * Motor Size:High-Performance 380-Size
            * Radio:Pro Boat 2-Channel AM 27MHz Pistol-Grip
            * Hull Type:Catamaran
            * Battery 7.2V Ni-MH
            * I also was impressed that these are a stepped hull on such a tiny boat

            Mini-V
            * Length:14 in (355mm)
            * Beam:4.25 in (108mm)
            * Motor Size:380-Size electric motor
            * Radio:Pro Boat 2-Channel 27MHz AM (preinstalled)
            * Hull Type:Deep-V
            * Battery:7.2V NiMH battery & charger (included)
            * The V being the more stable of the two is very tough to flip even with small chop

                      Boat #1
                      Payment Received.

                      Gonna try to ship it tomorrow, but me and some family are taking out my boat for a fishing trip and some much needed down time.
                      If the weather is on our side we may spend the day on the water...
                      If we don't make it back in time, your boat will ship out definitely on Monday.

                      Thanks

                          Hey,

                          Egneg,
                          We ended up getting into the Small mouth Bass today, so didn't get yours out, but it will ship on Monday and you should get tracking info when it does.

                          Silvr,
                          Thanks for the interest and welcome to the forums. You have a PM and if I get payment by Saturday, your boat will also ship on Monday.

                          -James
