Here it is , up for auction. I bought everything for this build from either Fine Design RC or Off Shore Electrics. Both have websites with prices listed so go check them out. I will list everything I bought and it's also everything included in auction. I ran this hydro about 10 times total. It was an impulse buy / build and I found out I just don't have the time to enjoy it. All my RC buddies are in the dirt at the local track & as the saying goes misery loves company. Anyhow this thing is insane on 4s lipo. I have it set up to run off 2-2S Lipo packs in series for a 4S total. ESC can be programed to accept NiMH cells also. It goes so fast I have had it airborne a couple times resulting in a nice summer time swim. I'm sure if I messed with the pitch of the prop more it would make a world of difference and perform even better but I never got that far. The paint has a few minor scratches on it nothing major at all. There are no cracks at all in the hull or hatch. The hardware on the back of the boat & turn fin is backed with peice of carbon fiber for strength. It's on the inside of the boat and not even seen. As with all boats it does take on some water where the hatch goes on the hull. Not enough to sink it or even make a difference for that fact. I solved this by using clear hatch tape on the seams. I just don't want the winning bidder to get it and come back on me thinking it is 100% water tight. You can get it at hobby shops or on-line & it is reuseable. From 5 feet away you cant even see it on there. The reserve is set at half the total cost of the build. This boat is far better quality inside & out than any RTR that can be bought in it's class hands down.

The second pic shows the worst scratch on the boat. My buddys dog nailed it with his paw. There is a scratch at the turn fin also from when I was mounting it and the bracket spun on me. It's not easy getting in there to hold the nuts. Speaking of all the screws are stainless & the nuts are stainless locknuts. No self tappers at all. There is only one other spot on the boat that has a couple scuffs in the paint but they don't even really show up. If you want more pics just ask away and I'll send you whatever you want.

ADDED ON NOV 9th ... Also not listed but pictured is a sharpened balanced prop from Off Shore Electrics. It is the brass one on the zip-tie. It was around 40$.

Shipping will be USPS Parcel post unless buyer wants to chip in the difference to up-grade to 2-3 day.

Remember I have packing fee's, E-Bay posting fees, E-Bay final value fee's & Paypal fee's I have to cover. Those added up will eaisly double the listed shipping fee so it's not un-reasonable. If you feel it is for parcel post shipping please do not bid. There is nothing worse than someone bidding and agreeing to set terms only to leave bad feedback on shipping times. 

I will ship out within 2 day's of payment & provide the buyer with a tracking number.

Shipping will be to the lower 48 states only, please do not bid if you do not live in one of these. 

If you have very low feedback I have the right to cancel your bid if you are out bidding a high feedback bidder.

Example:  0-5 feedback outbidding a 50+ feedback

 Q: You seam to imply this boat leaks water, When you run it is there always water in the hull? Has this created any problems? Is there any thing wrong with this boat? What batteries come with this boat? thanks John
A: If you run it without hatch tape on the seams water will get in but not enough to affect performance or damage anything. Untill a hydro planes out (sits on top of the water at speed) the water rolls up the front of it. It... Continue reading
