Mhz mystic 114 build

[BUMBLESPECIMOODA]

The Castle ESC's are awesome. And if you won't be beating on them at the bleeding edge of their specs, you can skip the cap packs. The collets I use are actual machining collets, CNC'd with metric inserts. I buy them from a guy named Franz Spannegal in Germany. I usually contact him via Facebook. Honestly, if you're not spinning at 50K RPM or more, I'd say other than price, the difference is likely negligible between the real ones and the Amazon copies.

Gold! Thank you so much for your advice. I can't wait till I'm asking about tuning the Mystic for speed.

Total - $2551 - $3780 (+tax)

That is ludicrous.

Their paint work is outstanding. Dupont Imron systems, hand worked to the flatest paint jobs I've ever seen. I was just gonna get an auto-body to do a one colour application, like many of my past builds I've done, but I wanted something special for this build.

I agree... thats mental

I pay typically 400gbp for a 1.2m long boat

This 60" mono which is full airbrush, not one sticker was significantly less than your paying.


Don't forget you previously mentioned you would be going for some higher speeds with this which means crashes and that means paintwork damage.

My 1.9m Hpr was circa 1900 and that's because i wanted the exact aston martin f1 colour

The painter contated me last night.

I'll be picking it up sometime next week, then continuing the comissioning.

[fweasel]

That will be easy to see on the water for sure.

[BUMBLESPECIMOODA]

Cleaned up the paint, champfering, re-tapping, etc, and started rigg'n it up.

WOW!! That finish is amazing. Cleanest build I've ever personally seen. Very nice!

[iridebikes247]

This is a beautiful build. I have been involved in twin cat for 15 years now and have seen....a lot. You're very talented, very cool what ideas and skills you have brought to the hobby.

I would suggest taking a scotch-brite pad to the last two ride pads on each side and rough up that smooth paint finish, and sharpen the trailing edges of the ride pads. Assuming the boat will not be a shelf queen, this step in the wrong cosmetic direction will make it faster on the water. Looking amazing!

[BUMBLESPECIMOODA]

Will do. I crisped-up all the edges and blueprinted the pads in the prep phaze. Scotch pad is awesome for what you suggest.

I like to aim for both: Shelf-king, and water-boiler.

FWEASEL: That will be easy to see on the water for sure.

ME: Yup. the next boat will be bright orange.

MMARS89: WOW!! That finish is amazing. Cleanest build I've ever personally seen. Very nice!

ME: I'm trying to be as clean and awesome as a builder I've come across. CHRISTIAN FISCHER.

IRIDEBIKES247: This is a beautiful build. I have been involved in twin cat for 15 years now and have seen....a lot. You're very talented, very cool what ideas and skills you have brought to the hobby.

ME: I have learned a lot form all of you, it is my duty to share what I know.

Added the neoprene foam hatch seal:

Electronics in. Visible wires blackend out for that stealth look.

Lots of free space on the bridgedeck with my lay-out. I could put a big brick of foam if needed, for more boyancy after the test-sink proceedure...
