Last time i peered to examine the growth protruding from my zipper, it resembled an asparagus in full bloom.

Oh Wayne I am sorry if I led you up the garden path but it is that pussy called Maritimo to which I refer.

Brand new SprintCat40 & Turbine cowl arrived today :smile :
Opened box much later :excitement :
I have not seen such a poorly finished gel since my last days in senior school...c1980 :shock :
If not certain the seller sold me a legitimate AMarine hull .. Id say it was a cheap flop. :sad :
This really is labeled hull #12325 from the mold .. sure looks used :tears :
Sorry guys, this is the first/last hull I will buy from AM

However, it does offer me lots of opportunity to modify

2x 1518/1800
3/16LR flex
2x 1/4 stingers with 3/16 rollers giveth a nice 3/16 roller stinger ( swap 1/4teflon for 3/16bearings..same outer dim's )
either 6S1P or 2P.. play or race..

impressed with onboard retrieval system idea...
Why not, and this is almost 3 glasses of red talking here.. why not use turbine intakes for water inlets ( upside down retrieval, remember) and feed through jetboat impellor setup to outlet on turbine exhaust.. can propel and steer... ?
simple....

Sorry to hear about the poor finish on the AM hull. I know you have been looking forward to this being a good replacement for the Maritimo. I have been lucky so far and all my hulls have been good ones.
Will a bit of filler and some paint fix her up?

BTW I tried Andrew G for some Maritimo stickers but he said he has not had them for sometime. I will have a look on the H&M site and see if they have them. I really like the MHZ Aquamania stickers and have to decide which way to go. I would leave it white and cover it with St Kilda/Packers stickers but from what you have told me the hull looks a bit worse for wear so will need a bit more covering than a football sticker

Wayne, do you have any pics of this hull?

I just had a vision of a black Maritimo hull.... wait, wait it is coming to me now. Through the mist of what is left of my brain I am starting to see a Black Douglas pussy. Now that would look nice beside my Black Douglas mono.

The Maritimo needs a quick sand and paint.. nothing drastic on her skin.. except where the occasional punter had held her moistened transom in calloused hands, to drag teeth across her silky smooth curves .....
I dont care if the body is white, yellow, red, brown, black, cream or bronzed.. close your eyes ...they all feel the same... smooth and energetic.

Douggie.. will see if my camera can show the defects in the gel..although the after mold patches should be easy.

Despite my upset at the skin's finish.. it is still a well constructed hull that is strong and light.

I think the cold spoon is more appropriate for you young Douggie.

Wooden spoons, Cold spoons, WTF has been going on here ?????? Dr I hope those cheese cutters work for you. I like those abc as back cutting does not remove the trailing edge cup, put a bit of tip pitch on there just to harden up the roost mate, hope you don't mind. That cat would go well on a twin 10s set up with some 55mm + props, insane mate

Cheese cutters, only if there's cheese in the water......
Tip pitch .. oh, you mean the bend on the ends ?.. hahha, Ta.

Sadly twin x 10S = 20S class .... in Au no such ..we're limited to 12 cells in the largest class.. eg 12S1P or 2x6S1P or 1x6S2P etc
2x6S1P is my goal for the SC40.. that'd be nasty enough.
Works out at 6.2KW per side... for 1.46 minutes !

55mm+ .. at 40Krpm ????
Will try these 1616 and build up from there
