    Hi Mick,how is the progress on the units?
    Over here in Europe there is also Interest!
    My Hull is waiting for a unit :-) and the electronics are ready - it will be a Outrunner 1600kv and 1800watts output - so i can try 4S and 5S
    I am very keen to see the difference to a Kehrer!
    Please send me by pm pricing + p&p - I am in Germany
    Regards
    Axel

                  Do your jet pumps have a reverse cup

                    Please note you will need to put these together yourself. Either PM me here or send an email to : mickieb49@bigpond.com.
                    Please include your address in your email so i can get a shipping estimate to you promply.

                    Hulls will be a few weeks off yet.

                      Here is the video, was very happy. May be too small a hull though as it was very twitchy, my hull will be 610mm , should be more suited to this unit.


                      Cheers Mick

                              Hi Mate, as of yet i do not, i do have plans on adding a second stage though, but this may be a few months off though.
                              A reverse bucket on these little boats is mostly for looks, i have been running them for the past 10+ years and not yet have i needed one, will take the idea on though. It will complicate the whole rear cone/ trim arrangement , not to mention the extra cost on setting up another injection mold for it.
                              Thanks for your interest
                              Regards Mick
