WTB SV27 Stock Hardware Setup

[capnswanny]

Hello Fellow FE'ers
I'm building up a bare SV27 hull and want to outfit it with the stock SV27 hardware.
Anybody upgrade and have an inexpensive set laying around that they don't need?
Looking for all..stinger, rudder, fins and optionally tabs.
PP ready,

Thanks!
Corey

Never mind...the bare hull I thought I was getting from Amazon showed up as an 1800Kv aquacraft outrunner!
But if anybody has an old beat up SV27 hull and hardware....

Ive got something you may be interested in. Heres the scoop, I did some work on a fellow boaters boat and part of the payment was this SV. needless to say he got teh much better deal. It was a quite bit more beat up than I thought so I completely stripped it, it had foam and all kindsa nasty mess in it. I cleaned the majority of it out, and was going to start from scratch and make it bulletproof but decided, nah. So Ive got a beat up hull, good green hatch, and good but cosmetically worn hardware. The rx box and servo is included, the motor mount was in the box, I can take another pic if you wish. It originally came w a motor and esc, but the esc was doa and Im keeping the motor. (neither in pic)

If your interested, make me an offer. Im not looking for a lot.

Oh and I didnt take pics of the bottom. there are a couple areas I scratched out similar to what is seen on the port side in about the middle where I was prepping to repair what looks like gelcoat cracks under the lovely gold paint.

Sorry for the delayed response, after spending the weekend grinding and glassing I had to take a day to think about it
That sure fits the bill! Ask ye shall recieve, and the gold and green are so....interesting together :)
I'd feel comfortable somewhere at or under $50 shipped (Rx box and servo at your option)
...what did you have in mind?

I just sent a 27" Fastech to Washington and it ran me $27. bux. Id assume I can pack this in a smaller box, hopefully keep it under the "oversize" and it will be a bit lighter less the electronics and TX. id feel good at $50. and Ill include the servo and box as well.

Boat arrived last night, nice packing job...and I think they actually read your FRAGILE sticker, not even a scratch on the box!!
I spent an hour or two with the sandpaper scraping some of the “ugly” off her and now I think we’re ready to start reinforcing.
Thanks for the extras, those will keep me cool and looking cool “*bling*”
Thanks again for the boat; I’ll shoot you some pics when I get her ready to run.

Looks better already. Thanks for the update Corey. I'll be waiting to see her looking fine again.

Finally got finished tonight!
Hope to take her to the lake tomorrow and run against my stock-ish setup.
My son picked the paint job....I absolutely love it! Inspired by Henry Gregor Felsen's 'Hot Rod'

Went with an aft motor setup, against popular suggestion, hoping the lower battery position will add some more stability in the corners.

Here's some pic's:

And the last shot, of the interior, sans batteries:
Can't wait to she how she corners!!!

BTW: Paint is 3 coats of primer, 220 sand between each, final coat was sanded for effect in spots. Afterwards the entire hull was "polished" with 00 steel wool and then cleared x3 with satin clear...all rattle can.
