Paid the extra for Carbon Fiber..

[Gerwin Brommer]

yep, could be.
I'm not sure if Hanspeter uses the carbon as a finishlayer.
If he does, I would have wanted a finish in glasfiber, as the carbon is a conductor...........

[JCAustralia]

Could it be that there is a layer of carbon/kevlar sandwiched between the fibreglass layers?

Did you specify to Hanspeter that you wanted a hull in C/F? Looking from your pics, it looks like F/G to me. Just the resin that he uses make it look black. My hull looks exactly as your pic, and I know that my hull is F/G as I did not request for C/F.

Mine looks similar and its Carbon / Kevlar... supposedly

Edit: the hatch is identical

Lets try that again.

Wow man! You're putting a real nice boat together! Can't wait to see how she turns out!!!!

[malibu1]

Last night I had another package arive. NEU1527 1Y's. Also a DX3S. Still have to pick up the new MR3000 receiver.

Mine 06 doesn't have them neither. Looks like they only exsist on the biggest brother, the HPR233.

[Gerwin Brommer]

No. The first ones had the exhaust boxes. The last boats don't have them anymore.
Hanspeter removed the boxes on demand of the customers.
A turbine Geico hpr'06 with exhaustboxes looks kinda funny ;-)

I just noticed something. Some of the HPR06/115's have the step in the rear top deck where the engine exhaust would come out. Others are flat. I wonder if the step for the exhaust location is an option?

[Jeff Wohlt]

That is nice but you want to make sure there is no bounch. Simply add some foam under it or whatever to take the weight off the rear of the motor. What this does is takes the boucne out which can lead to cable or wire drive failure.

just my 2 cents

The hull finish looks pretty darn good. There are four plug holes on the bottom of the hull that need to be smoothed. Along with the upper to lower deck joint which I would think is optional as the seem is small and straight with no imperfections. There are two small imperfections on one of the sponsons that will probably need some attention but I am being really nit picky here. Hull is baby butt smooth, and the hatch is a perfect fit with equal gaps all the way around.
CF inside looks flawless. I don't think a person could do a better job. Hanspeter really does make a work of art here. I am 100 happy so far:)

Wow! These are the best out there and when I have saved enough hard cash, I will be placing an order for one....
I'll keep an eye on this thread to see it it all goes!
Beautiful boat!!!!
