Hi,
I purchased this boat new (from another modeler) and don't believe I'll get to it any time soon. I was told this was one of a handful of custom-made hydros. Some details I would like to note: the rudder snapped-off in shipping (needs soldered back-on), there is a small-chip in the paint on the back-side of the left sponson (touched-up to seal, but still visible), you can see where the hull rests on the stand, and there are a few light "flex" cracks (in the paint, not the fiberglass), the rubber boot around the steering shaft needs replaced (dry-rot?). Other than the rudder and boot, all cosmetic fixes. I would rate the finish as good, but not perfect. The boat also has water-cooling around the can (enters near the rudder and exits out the side), motor mount, motor/shaft coupler, shaft, prop, servo mount, and a stand. The hull is @18"long by 9"wide at its widest point. As it is, it weighs @1.375 lbs. Asking $105 shipped CONUS and $105 plus shipping elsewhere. Thanks for looking.
