    Default L/F Mono hull 40? to 50?

    Looking for a large mono hull, something between 40" and 50". I'll ask a "what would you buy" question. I'd like fast, good handling and any brand preferences for reliability, etc. I'm hoping to put together a fast runner. So if you were starting from scratch, what would you buy?
    Thank you for your consideration

    What are you meaning by fast? Also, is turning important? Racing, bashing or SAW?
    What are budget, experience, limitations, requirements?

    No organized racing, do more fun running. Fast I think is 70+mph, turning is important just for fun. My boat experience is nothing more than a Supervee27 and a vintage Super Hawaii. I’d like to keep a complete set up under $1000.

    I have a few AC Boats hulls kicking around. Magnum, Razor, Lazer’s all in about 45” range. Bare hulls but not matching lids.

    Oh I meant they just don?t match in Color. But they are really Gas boat hulls meant for race so a bit tricky to set up for FE. By that I mean they are designed to run ?wet? whereas we usually set them up ?light? in FE. Shipping would also be quite costly from Canada.

    Okay, well I appreciate the information. I’m probably better off looking for FE as opposed to converting gas.

    Default Crc 50"

    Take a look at the mono hulls from Central RC Marine. Good quality for reasonable prices.

    That is a good looking boat. I don’t see it on their site. Most mono hulls are huge on there.
