    Default Finding good quality boat hulls

    Greetings everyone Recently I started looking for a possible boat hull to build on mostly looking at electric Cats, seems the only thing I can find is TOBSD, and TFL which is sold out of damn near everything. Please point me in the right website direction.
    Thanks

    Are you looking to do a complete build, ie: bare hull and then do all the work yourself or a ARTR where you would basically just add the lipo system, motor, radio and such? Whats your budget?

    Ok thanks I will keep HK in mind, TOBSD.COM has simular hulls and they offer hulls with or without motors but they are using 36mm motor in a lot of there 32-36" cats which seems too small to me. Was kinda hoping to find something that wasn't made in China lol but it looks like the choices are limited. Thank you though.

    I am finding most good quality boat hulls on facebook nowadays.

    Later on you mentioned you want RTR, good quality and RTR are almost mutually exclusive, I've never seen a manufacturered RTR that comes close to what the cottage industry chaps can offer, sometimes if you ask them nicely and/or throw enough cash at them, the cottage industry guys can be talked into building the odd RTR though.

    Tfl has stepped up they’re game on their hulls. They seem to be thicker than they used to be. A cheetah is a very nice choice and Ose carries them.
