    No, not at all. Stay away from G Freak. Don't be turned off by hulls that aren't "FE Layup" also. A sturdy, well built hull will be heavier, but will also be more durable.

          Nothing. You get free knives if you order over $500.

                1527/1.5y, 10s 1p 5000's & swordy 240. That was with a x548 prop, ran a x648 later with a little better results. Still not happy with the ride though. I removed a large hook in the port side of the hull but it's still almost leaning the wrong way through turns.

                    Vee hulls

                    here are two pics of my old 52" gasser with a homelite to show you what the hatch would look like for it (different boat but same hull). I would make a new hatch of course, this one was cut out to fit the homelite. Hatch was designed for gas boats, not to be taped shut.

                    also, the 40" scarab that I am working on, but that seems small for what you want.

                    You never mentioned what speed you were looking for in the rough water?

                    That 52" would be available with a surface drive and rudder for 1/4" props if you are looking at a scorpion outrunner, wouldn't even touch your hull budget, but it does need finishing! Light and strong though. Very Strong! I really want to put an outrunner in it....

                                I figured it was up there. I'm heavy into real boats and when I tell non boaters what I have into my 1994 30 foot Scarab they nearly crap themselves.

                                I have an Aeromarine Apache 50" (gas) with almost 5 grand into it so 20 grand into that cat is relative.

                                Nice work!!
