    Default Osprey.

    The quickest build I've ever done.
    I bought this Osprey hull full of loose bits from a fellow club member John. He wasn't racing it anymore & didn't want it.
    He did a brilliant job on the rails, wet well, motor mount & battery tray, when he built it initially.
    So I assembled all the bits, added an old TP 4060 1350kv motor, Sea King 180 ESC, & servo,
    I moved the ESC to the left side of the boat, which meant I had to move the safety loop too. So I used an antispark setup from Jeti while I was at it.

    I also removed all the tribal graphics & added a bit of trim colour. That will make it easier for the C.D. when he's calling the races, because there are a couple of other Osprey hulls at the club.
    The whole thing only took a few hours to get together & paint
    So here is next years EB 6s (your Q class) Mono for our club racing.

    Just thought I'd share.

    The bits bolted on to the blunt end of the boat.

    The old tribal graphics gone & a bit of green trim added.

    Looks good Paul. The Osprey sure looks similar to a Pursuit. I know they are bigger but if it runs like one then it’s a keeper! I like the graphics

    It's often been said that the Pursuit & the Osprey are flops of the Delta Force hulls.

    Thanks. It's a nice green. Dulux duramax enamel. It's called 'Grass Court'. In a rattle can.

    Martin.
    Unfortunately our next practice day at the club won't be until late January. So it will be a while.

    But here is a typical EB Mono race with some Delta Force hulls & my Ariane 2 taking the win. Just to whet your appetite
