Large Hulls?

[b.mcdaniel.2009]

This is a new arrow shark hull I have. It is 50"x 14.75", low freeboard, great bottom for speed and very wide as you can see from the back. This hull is STRONG. Earlier arrow shark stuff was flimsy and weak but they got this on right. Very light too as big boats go. Love the lines!!

It is getting a jg 28.5cc topend zenoah for power but would be a very nice hv electric project hull.

I contacted arrow shark and told them I wanted the boat but shipping cost of $75 was a stumbling block. They only charged me $25 for shipping and I got the boat for $325 shipped. Here is a link to the boat.

The windshield work is great. Everyone of those screws on it, there must be 25 or so, are real and go through to the back.

Curt, that there is a sweet looking hull!!!! It somewhat resemble's my DF hulls... Not sure what I would do about the hatch opening...

I will tell you that the hull on the link above is not a good choice in my opinion because it is only 12" wide. A long narrow boat like that will not handle rough water well. The same length apache is almost 15" wide and does much better for offshore type use. That hull is a sport only not for rough water.

I don't agree, and I know it's just your opinion
I've seen vids up on youtube with narrow hulls and they cut through the chop just fine

I would love to make a 84" once I get out of college. I saw one in person a while back and I bet it could have doubled as a kayak!

It would take twin 2230's on 12s to power a hull that size....To much cash for me lol....

The opening for the pipe looks to be a pretty easy fix. Would look killer with some blue or red cf filling it!

I have a link for colored cf sheets and the red or blue would be just off the charts. Seriously that would not be a challenge of a jix.

Been there done that with some early large gas hulls. They simply extended some old style hulls and were not successful for offshore at all. If you think otherwise hey give it a go. I would be the first to say I was wrong if it worked. NO ego here just want to save you some bucks if you really power that boat up big time.

Go idea!!! Can you post a pic of the underside of the hatch so i can get an idea what I would be getting myself into befor I bought.

here u go. Also, notice as I said earlier, the one pic shows all those screws going through. No worry on leaking there however as a quick coat of epoxy brushed on for good measure. Actually I don't think they would cause a leak any way.

The edge all the way around from the back looks easy to work with.

Thanks for the pics. Its a toss up from the 56" Fountain from the link a few post up, the 54" expresscraft Arapaho and the 50" mono from ArrowShark...Ahhh so many choices.

your welcome...I placed an order with them today also

Just called them and was told they do not carry the Fountain hull anymore He suggested the Apache 56" hull....

The Fountain was my first choice from your picks
I dig the 48" Challenger as it reminds me of my T29
( I wonder if 15s would fit well in that hull )
but this is about a BIG MONO build
what about the 57" Signature?

[b.mcdaniel.2009]

Well so the R/C boat god was looking upon me today...Just as I was informed that the 56" fountain hull is no longer in production I placed a wanted add here on OSE and wouldn't you know it Steve V. posted that same hull he'd like to sell and at a great price. Grabbing that up tomorrow since he only lives a few hours from me...Now how sweet is that...And on the plus side Steve V. has been around the block a few when it comes to FE....We chatted on what would power this beast! Thanks again Steve V.
