    My peells micro 28" v hull

    Hi all .Here you see me building my first Peells boat and i have the hull send out to get laser cut.I would cut my own but I fell off roof in 2003 and have 3 main op and two 3" rod and an neurostimulator install .so I can not use power tool anymore .So first let me say Pete know how to build boat and they are 100% super i have build many boat before .but this is the first time i can build a boat with my 7 year old son and we are enjoying it .So hat off to you Pete .Now here what i did already .I lay out all mark on work bench and made a line down middle then i 5min epoxy the 1/8 stringers which was steamed to bend easily .take So here some picture of it

            Great to see people building hulls. The Dauntless in your pictures took me 3 years of on and off building to complete. Also, it is fantastic that you have a young helper.

                    Do two if you go with the mini, it's not nearly enough power.

                    And still, I think you'll be wanting more speed. A 4s setup with a feigao 9xl or 8xl sounds much better....

                      Bob,
                      Looks great you have been very busy in your shop keep up the great work!! I am running a Feigo 9xl with water cooling and a x438 prop with 6s and I am going to change to 2-4s packs in parallel and prop up a bit,
                      I have a new hull which will be better for dual jet drives than the Nitro Hunter, I call it the Nitro Eliminator, The front looks similar to the Nitro hunter but I widened it out to 9" and squeezed the thickness down in the back (narrowed the V) flattening out the v in the back considerably.
