The rates can vary daily, but the prices are posted on his website. Just convert chf for current cost. Shipping to the US was surprisingly reasonable. Around 70 bucks.Catching Air!Comment

Woah, where'd all these replies come from! Haha.
Thanks for the info, tiqueman. I'd love to get that HPR115 and build it myself, I'm just scared I'm gonna screw something up. And I would never be able to work on a smaller boat now when my mind is set on the HPR! It would definitely be a wonderful winter project and I'm sure the guys would be a great help. Maybe someone would be able to make me some motor mounts and other parts. Do you think I can pull it off? I'd love to know that I built it myself.
Also, I heard the HPR hardware doesn't come with any screws, so I would need to get all of that myself? I think I saw a link on another thread. And I would have to have the boat painted, right? It said somewhere that it doesn't look too good out of the box.SV27 w/ Ammo 2300 / Stock ESC || Pursuit w/ Leopard 4074 2200kv / SeaKing 120a ESC || MHZ Drambuie on Ice w/ 2x Schulze 4.160wk's / 2x Neu 2215 1.5y'sComment

Not motor mounts, I meant those other things where the stuffing tube goes through. Forgot what they're called. Saw some other people using them in their HPR's.SV27 w/ Ammo 2300 / Stock ESC || Pursuit w/ Leopard 4074 2200kv / SeaKing 120a ESC || MHZ Drambuie on Ice w/ 2x Schulze 4.160wk's / 2x Neu 2215 1.5y'sComment

Oh and John, good luck on your build! I'll be looking for a building thread :)SV27 w/ Ammo 2300 / Stock ESC || Pursuit w/ Leopard 4074 2200kv / SeaKing 120a ESC || MHZ Drambuie on Ice w/ 2x Schulze 4.160wk's / 2x Neu 2215 1.5y'sComment

Ive stared at mine for about a year now... Ive changed my mind on it about 10 times.
Couldnt be said any better than that
Stingers?Comment

No not stingers, I know what those are, ahaha. Between the motor mount and the exit of the stuffing tube from the hull, some people but something metal to hold the stuffing tube. I'll find the pic in a second.SV27 w/ Ammo 2300 / Stock ESC || Pursuit w/ Leopard 4074 2200kv / SeaKing 120a ESC || MHZ Drambuie on Ice w/ 2x Schulze 4.160wk's / 2x Neu 2215 1.5y'sComment

Thanks bud!
I don't even have mine in hand yet and I've changed my mind 3 times! Lol
I think maybe he is referring to a transom doubler where the stingers mount?Catching Air!Comment

Dom, do what I did.. get the hull and stare at it for a long long time. In the mean time, build stuff, experiment... once it was in my home, it was easier to want to learn things rather than dive into the build. Making carbon plates, custom pieces, watching other builds on what and what not to do... and mean while build build build. Its a lot easier to buiod a twin HOTR for example, screw it up and your out a $130 dollar hull and some time. Everythign else transfers to the next boat. Plus like you said... the feeling of accomplishment knowing you built it yourself... priceless. Ever built a plastic model? A wood kit of any sort? Walmart furniture? Its all the same man.. time and patience. If you askl questions and get answers before and while you build.. its pretty hard to screw up.Comment
