Twin autobailers installed along with ss hardware and 4 push button hatch locks. Floatation foam in the boat and on the Tiqueman Hatch. Comes with 3 props, 2 metal.

            I could meet you in the middle at $625 and I would be taking a huge hit on it. Projected speeds are in the 60s but right now it has a problem with torque rolling. At about half trigger it's at about 35mph and screaming. Then it lifts the left hull out of the water and flips. It took me 9 months to build and I don't live close enough to a usable water source or have the time anymore to make all my adjustments nor know how to prevent it from flipping like that. Maybe it is something you could easily set straight.

              Not sure if I'm seeing this correct?
              $800 for a Leopard powered BJ26

              and Projected speeds of 60mph? meaning you have not gone over 35mph because its not setup right...

                No way!

                and your build thread says a $225 paint job..
                so that makes for a $575 BJ26 with stock paint!
                no way bro.. don't rip off this guy who is looking for a good deal

                  I am wondering how you are getting your numbers.

                  $300 for blackjack
                  $225 for paint
                  $260 for leopard esc combo
                  $85 ss conversion parts
                  $60+ in build materials
                  $80 in props
                  $75 for rc/rx
                  $15 for program card
                  $12 for two autobailers

                  Plus I am throwing in all of my spare parts that I purchased $- unknown

                  So I am counting over $1100 into this boat. So $625 in nearly half of what the boat is worth and yes there is an issue that needs to be dealt with. I would but I just don't have the time to iron out. Right now it looks as if I am out of the hobby and selling pretty much everything.

                  If he has the time and patience to fix the torque roll, then the boat is a steal at $625.

                    your out of your mind dude!
                    $800 for that BJ26 that you can't run past 35mph
                    take your math back to preschool as one could build something like this for under $400 that actually runs
                    $800 can and will buy a kick A$$ FE boat that looks and runs great
                    even at your lowered price, $625 still buys one hell of a boat!
                    damn, even the new BJ29 is about 400bucks and is said to run 50mph on 6s, and thats RTR with not roll issue

                    like I said, lets not take advantage of a new guy at OSE

                        I have A awsome custom built twin 32" Apparition.
                        Carbon fiber inlay.
                        It has twin Feigo 9XL 1853KV motors.
                        Twin T120 amp ESC's.
                        .150 flex shafts.
                        Left and right counter roatating X442 props.
                        Water pickups in the sponsons.025.jpg026.jpg027.jpg028.jpg
                        Runs on 2x 4S lipos and runs in the 55 MPH range with this set up depending on conditions.
