Identify this Hull

[westbeach]

so someone in the US is the distributor/dealer, yet nobody can buy from them? They sure do have good business practises. lol

OK gize..... I KNOW who manufactures this boat. I tried to buy them but they said they are already sold to somebody else in the USA exclusively. I will NOT tell you the manufacturer because you can't buy from them anyway.

READ carefully! Someone in the U.S. has the exclusive on this boat. You are welcome to buy from them. HOWEVER, you can NOT buy direct from the manufacturer. Got it?

It IS a stepped hull. You can see it on the inside!

!

Yep you can see it in pics 4&5.

Do a search using ARPRO and you can find anything you want to to know about this hull. Meanwhile here is a picture of the transom of another one of their hulls. Same method of construction as used in the fountain.

hmm that none adjustable stinger looks nice and cheap...anyone ever set one up?.........I take it all you need is a piece of K&S brass with an inside diameter the same size as the outside diameter of a 3/16" bushing?
and what would that be?

Jimmy, That hull is a chinese copy of a Deltla Force Twin Jet. The same one (orignal delta)that Adam runs in club spec with aqua craft set up. It is not a stepped hull.

Offcourse, we have had this boat in the shop before and I could never figure out where I had seen it before.

It is nowhere near a Delta Force copy...not even remotely.

If you look closely it actually is, I may be wrong but I believe that the Delta Force twin jet was an optional top deck that could be fitted to the Delta 25 some time ago.

So it would not surprise me if the same mob are flopping of the Mhz Fountain as originally suspected.

I love the professional, see through propeller, gotta get me one of those, it would make my boats REAL FAST.

That is a b*tch of a pitch on that plastic prop or so it looks to me, anyways.

[egneg]

It's a 1.4 pitch same as the Octura X4xx series.

Interesting find. I went on that Vantek website and actually found a boat I have that I purchased from my LHS which came from a company called Imex. Is this the US dealer???? Anyway, The hardware is.. well pretty much junk. The flex shaft was almost in 2 after 2 or 3 runs. The prop was a joke, thier rudders are enough to turn maybe up to a 15" boat but nothing more... search for my posts about the 32" Imex cat .. I have stated it all. For an out of the box rtr boat it wasnt bad, but if your into this hobby and looking for the cats meow, more than likely the hull is all you will use. The hull I have, I absolutely love now that I have it set up w/ real hardware. And it is far firm cheap, thin, flimsy etc etc. Very quality.

Anyway, just my 2 pennies on what I have and the experience w/ the hardware.

Imex is an importer/distributor in Brooksville, Florida that sells to hobby shops. They have their name put on a lot of Chinese products they bring in. Generally, their stuff is toy quality. Certainly not the quality most FE guys want. It's good for the newbie but at a high price.
