    Working on maybe getting some of these

    One of my suppliers talked me into buying this 32" mono sample. Hardware is pretty nice, Paint looks nice buts is a bit orange peeled. Motor is a 36mm with a water jacket. I want to test it soon, but my lake is frozen.

    Looks nice. Any other pics and/or info you want to share?
    I'd like to see the business end!

      Here is the transom and inside. Keep it mind, I just opened the box, so the rudder and fins are not mounted on the transom and all the extra parts are still inside the nose.

        The all kind of start looking the same to me, after awhile... Someone needs to step up and design a Mono with a new look...

          Steven,
          That transom picture inspired another stupid idea in my head. I'll post about it in a new thread on the main board. That way I can see if it's too stupid to follow through.

            thats because they are. A copy of a copy of a copy. When does it become an original?

                        I dont think you have enough experience to handle the awsome power of this rig.

                        I'm working on getting some instructions for the esc. Once I do I, I may take you up on that offer.

                            Copies of copies of copies. Just once it would be nice to see a new design. Maybe one where the pointy end is not at the front!!
