some important information about Hanspeter - HPR Powerboats

[Dustin Sontag]

What is the price of the HPR 010 mono?

[johnf]

I still think Steven should deal these here! Manuel, do you happen to have any of those carbon fiber battery trays we talked about a while back? Like what Scott (Tiqueman) got from you for his hpr115.

[ManuelW]

Hello Guys,

@ Dustin: I contacted Hanspeter again, I'll tell you as soon as I know something!

@ Johnf: You've got PM

Best regards,
Manuel

PS: I've no idea if Steven is interested in dealing these or could deal these...maybe somebody should ask him?

[johnf]

Thanks Manuel, got it and replied.

[johnf]

Also, I thought I remembered talk of Steven dealing them, but he had some reasons he couldn't. Maybe it was shipping cost? If he could get a few in stock and save on shipping like you mentioned that would be awesome! I'm sure we would see a lot more local (to us) built HPRs on the forum. Win for everyone!

Hello Guys,

prices of the mono:
-glass fibre hull: 420CHF
-single drive: 155 CHF
-rudder: 155CH
-twin drive (should be the same as for the HPR06: 250CHF

The homepage will be also updated within the next hours.

Best regards,
Manuel

PS: Here two pictures of the new single-drive solution:

Hi Manuel, can you please ask Hanspeter about the stands you see some of the boats are sitting on in photos on his webb site and how do you get them,
Or what are they made from. They look like ironining board stands.
Cheers,
Chris.

[tdonnellyem]

They look like ironining board stands.
Cheers,
Chris.

chris: i think they are musical keyboard stands. think you can get a basic one for 20.00-30.00 bucks. a friend of mine gave me one. what i like about it is the height of it. it folds flat for travel. i made a PVC stand that can sit on the stand. that way when you travel, you can leave your boat secured on the PVC stand and fold up the keyboard stand.

[arrowskartax9]

Great, Thank you i will give it a try.

[ManuelW]

The hint for the keyboard stands is correct, they are available in different versions and sizes.

Best regards,
Manuel

Hello Guys,

about 4 weeks ago I was invited by Hanspeter to visit him in Switzerland. These were a few absolute great days staying there, I will do that again without doubts. Hanspeter showed me a lot of things including how he produces the boats as well as his two topical projects boats. I had already seen his 92" HPR Motley Crue but the 100" Mystic was new. Both run with a pair of JetCat SPM5 Marine Turbines.

Here a few shots I took during the visit, these I'm allowed to show (some of the highlights. There are also a few others where I'm not...

Two photos of the hardware he has on stock, both show parts or complete drives for the HPR C5009 and the HPR06:

Who can find my HTC Wildfire on that hatch...

Some photos of his work shop, left one showing resin and materials, right one all the molds:

[ManuelW]

Could be that I'd also grin if that was mine:

Some of the pictures I like the most. The blue/orange cat is the HPR06 2Face, with 45" not that small I thought...

[ManuelW]

And here some of the hulls he has on stock. On the left HPR 06's and a few HPR 135's, on the right some HPR C5009 "Mystic-Style".

Last but not least two picturs showing me and Hanspeter with the boats:

Thanks for the great Week-End Haempu!!

Best regards,
Manuel

[tiqueman]

My goodness.. I wouldn't know how to act if I was in hprs work shop. Truly amazing stuff. Also Manuel, I read you were in some type of accident? Hope everythings okay. I emailed hpr last night regarding some purchases.

Some advise for others if emailing Hanspeter, I initially had some troubles getting in touch with him as my email was being stopped by his spam filter, but once getting through he has been fantastic to deal with. Sometimes he gets back to me the same or next day, sometimes it's a few days, but he has always replied to me within the week, and to be honest if your not patient enough to wait, then you probably aren't the type of person to deserve such a masterpiece of model boating excellence. I can't wait to receive my mystic mono and 135, I'm sure there will be nothing that compares.

Beautiful boats!

Andy

[ManuelW]

thanks for the comments.

Here a video were we started the turbines of his Mystic 245, in the afternoon a test run and then we tried it in the evening when it was already dark. Up to now I'd say I love FE, but these turbines are really fascinating..


Best regards,
Manuel

@ Scott: my status is already improving...

[tiqueman]

Where's the vid Manuel?? I replied to your email.

[ManuelW]

I thought I embedded the video right.
But here's the direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1dZi...layer_embedded

Nice

To Hanspeter, Manuel and anyone else interested,

Just wanted to post a quick testimonial to confirm what a pleasure it is (and easy) to work with Hanspeter…a true gentleman to be sure.

I’ve been in contact with Hanspeter and Manuel over the last few weeks to order an HPR-135, which I now have in-house. The build is CFK/AFK - carbon/cevlar hybrid-fiber with epoxy resin, with an additional layer of Carbon Fiber for SAWS applications.

All I can say is this hull is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. IMHO the quality of the hull is second to none.

Again, working with Hanspeter and Manual is easy; ask questions and get prompt answers, then you PayPal funds and get a wonderful product in a few weeks.

Thanks again to Hanspeter and Manuel for all the information and help

[6BOOST]

I just got off the phone to the shipping company and my HPR135 SAW hull and hardware is waiting for customs clearance and I should get it tomorrow To reiterate the above post, the service has been fantastic and I can't wait to pick up my first HPR boat tomorrow Thank you Hanspeter!

Ps Damn your swiss post is slow lol, still waiting on my mono

[ManuelW]

Thanks for the nice credit guys, sounds as we are doing things right.

Best regards,
Manuel

@ Kyle: You got an email..

[6BOOST]

Hi Manuel,

I didn't receive an email, my email is info@6boost.com

And on another note, today is going to be an amazing day! Just received my HPR Mystic mono, and received a call from customs to come pick up my 135 Unfortunately the very tip of the mono was broken in transit, but is only very minor, no problems at all to fix

[ManuelW]

Hello Guys,

this is a message to all HPR owners here on OSE and maybe also to the others who might be interested in one.
On Hanspeters homepage we run a picture gallery containing pictures of nice HPR builds and we'd like to increase that:
http://www.hpr-powerboats.ch/cpg149/

Therefore if you own or run any HPR hull and would be interested in presenting your boat in this gallery, feel free to contact me via PM and you'll get further information where to send the pictures.

Hoping for many replys,
Manuel

[Espresso]

Very cool gallery. The mono looks quite interesting too. I liked this gallery that outlines the molding process. Hard to believe everything is hand laid and nothing is vacuum formed.

[ManuelW]

Hello,

yes his attention to detail and craftmanship is very good in my eyes. In the last week I was also sent many pictures of nice boats and uploaded them. Sadly no response from someone from here. Hope this will change as I've already seen a few very cool HPR boats here.

Best regards,
Manuel
