Yep...still sell them...holy cow they are high! Maybe a person can get the parts and leave the motor?

They do have some parts...the lower but not upper half right now.

**Jeff Wohlt** · 10-15-2009, 12:48 PM

We are getting killed on Graupner parts because of the cost of the US Dollar versus the Euro. The 800 outboard used to cost $140 or so.

Wow, 140 was definitely reasonable. my goal is getting a Rio 51 hull, gutting it and turning it in to a center console quad, like i did with my AQ ProFisherman.

Just a heads up on this one... it's the leg only, no motor (as per description).

Ah those were the days, when the dollar was strong and people had jobs.

**Rumdog** · 10-15-2009, 07:43 PM

**Grimracer** · 10-15-2009, 09:56 PM

Rum,

Good question, It is..

Grim

**chummer** · 10-15-2009, 11:39 PM

Grim,
I know there is no delivery date as of yet but do think that they might be available to us by spring?

**Rumdog** · 10-16-2009, 09:05 AM

Sounds great. This is a great looking cat! I can't wait to get my hands on one!

**Grimracer** · 10-16-2009, 11:15 AM

Chummer,

I just can not answer that.

sorry about that..

Oh man this is coll....
Black Jack, Black Jack here I come........

**Diegoboy** · 10-18-2009, 07:59 PM

Does she have steps?

**Grimracer** · 10-19-2009, 09:39 AM

Yes.. it has steps, no vents.. only steps..they are quite shallow however.

Grim

**Akoni** · 10-19-2009, 10:33 AM

Will they be offered in any of the real-world racing livery? That Amsoil scheme would sell tons.

**Grimracer** · 10-19-2009, 04:08 PM

No.. we have no plans on hooking up with Amsoil..

However we have plans on offering one in Sliver.. "Plans" as Silver is one of the harder colors to pull off in production.

Please bare with us.

Grimracer

**Steven Vaccaro** · 10-19-2009, 04:21 PM

I always thought it would be cool if a company had several diff decal packages to offer as after rtr boat sales options.

**dirtslide** · 11-08-2009, 01:32 AM

i know in post#5 it states no delivery dates but do you think it will be ready before the new year or not until spring next year .i need another grimracer to add to my fleet!!!!!!

**LiPo Power** · 11-08-2009, 06:30 PM

...any more pics of the new cat prototype please???

**Grimracer** · 11-12-2009, 11:33 AM

Lipo,

I dont have any more pictures i can share at this time.

To many small changes going on.. IF i was to post a few and the boat did not "come that way".. trust me.. the fourmies would eat the boat alive.

Just not worth it.

Thanks for asking however..

I can say this.. Testing has been going VERY WELL with the project. I have made a few slight hull changes and the boat is undergoing more testing.

Grimracer

**RCprince** · 11-12-2009, 05:09 PM

Hurry up Grim

, the sport needs a rtr reliable cat.

Thank You Mr. Zaborowski

**Grimracer** · 11-30-2009, 11:20 AM

Just to let you guys know testing is on going. Boat P-2 is in its final stages of testing.

We are looking at making some minor hull changes (i cant talk about them right now) but the last dude to pilot the boat is VERY HAPPY with the performance. Right Snowman!

ROCK ON!

Grim

Sorry this more of a teaser then anything but im very pleased with the testing thus far. More then I could have asked for taking years of tunnel hull experience and tossing it into a Cat.
