any info on the Promise Hobby hulls?

Are these hulls any good or are they junk? I was thinking of possibly building one of there 27"shovel nose hulls any info would be appreciated

TFL hulls, same as the Pursuit and all the other DF clones.
I don't own one but lots of people on the forum do, most add rails or carbon fiber to the inside of the hull for stiffness.
Look for threads on the Pursuit mono, lots of info about how these hulls run.
I wouldn't mind owning a 29" one, I'd put my SV hardware and electronics in it.

I have 2 monos from them, a 29" and 33". Also have a 41" cat from them. Great hulls for the money.

i have just finished building a 47" mono i bought from him.
the hulls are ok for the money but could be better mine looked second hand and fixed up i can see a crack in the corner of the transom and there has been patches of repaired spots on the seem.
and the rails were put in crooked as you can see by the stuffing tube lol
this one came with the carbon fiber bottom.
put it this way i wont buy another one.
better off spending a few dollars more and get a descent hull.
i will see how this one goes if it goes ok il run the hull into the ground then get another one.

Thanks for the feed back on these hulls I think I will go for the H&M shovel nose instead of the cheaper hull. Cheers,Chris

I am not shure you would be all that much better off with the H&M shovel nose unless it is a CF Kevlar layup. Their hulls are well laid up but quite thin and not that strong.

I own the 29" mono, 29" Phantom cat, and the 40" CF/Kevlar layup. I have heard from a few people the 47" hulls are not so hot but, the smaller ones are quite nice.

If I had't bought a HOR shovel nose, I would have got the Promise one because the sponsons are nicer.

You want a really nice well made shovel nose that will perform, get a Phil Thomas hull made right in the great US of A!!!! I have his SS electric sport hydro and it is a work of art on glass!!

Just my ramblings...
