    45" mystic

    I'm new to the forum so maybe this question has already been asked. Anyways how do you get a hold of swoop rd to order a hull? I have e Mailed the info link with no luck. Trying to get my hands on the 45" mystic hull if they sell it separate from a rtr system. Any help would be great. Thanks

      The company recently changed hands. Chris Lo Piccolo is the new owner and is moving the operation to NJ.

        On that explains it. I acquired a wrecked zelos 48 for pretty cheap here in wisconsin. 250$ all the electronics are fine and tested fine but the hull is to far gone for repair. I was thinking of the mhz 114 mystic but am a little leary ordering from germany. Painted hull shipped for 732$ US. Anyone else have a good experience with MHZ?

          MHZ is known for exceptional quality and superb gel coat work. All lines are sharp! I have ordered from them in Germany and have been quite happy.

            From the pictures it very nice. Do you think the zelos power plant on 8s would work decently?

              Should work great! No problems with MHZ you'll have it in a few days.

                Awesome thank you guys for the help I really appreciate it. I have been trying to find that hull with a single drive set up but haven't had much luck. I would imagine it would have similar it not better performance than the factory proboat set up.

                  Keep in mind that the mystic is narrower than the proboat cat..

                    An alternative could be the Hydro&Marine Agitator Xl. its constructed for 1 and 2 engine setups.

                      I ended up getting the mhz 45 mystic. The 1000kv dynamite motor is a beast but it fits 😁. I have some reinforcement to do with the hull but hope to have it ready for the spring. I have pictures (not very good quality) but can't figure out how to post them. Any ideas on hull reinforcement? Places know to be weak with these hulls?

                            Should be an interesting build. Can't say I've ever seen a single motor 114 build before. You may have to fabricate a setback for the rudder since it's mounted along the center line of the hull and will be directly inline with your prop.

                              I haven't either, tons of searching and couldn't find a single one. Weight wise the single motor and esc from my calculations is a tad lighter than a twin. Based off the rough measurements i did the prop should be about the same distance from the rudder as the zelos. I'm not looking for a 100mph boat lol and I know this setup won't come anywhere near that but should move pretty good.
