    No that's not my dad just a good friend that sold me a LeeCraft XT460 years ago and it was my first hull and we hit it off as good friends and we have helped each other out of a few jams giving each other stuff that we needed and was hard to find.

    To be clear it was not my intent to make anyone think I have an axe to grind with anyone period and I just did not care for the whole part about everyone telling me I'm over reacting they have not even seen the Hull,and you know it's not the gelcoat at all that has me upset I could live with it just fine if there was not a crappy repair job done on it and also not sure if I mentioned this as well but there are 6 spots going down the edge on each side of the hulls seam's that have a thick build up of gelcoat on the seam and it can be sanded off as well but even if that was the olny thing needed to be done I would still need to paint as the gecoat would still get messed up.

    Guy's please keep this thread positive from here on in I really olny wanted to say I got my Hull and it was ruffer then I feel it should and that it was fixable and although not thrilled with the finish I was going to paint it because that's the olny way to fix the bare spot in the Fiberglass and yes I do think I forgot to mention about the crappy repair even after it was fixed still being able to see bare fiberglass.

    I also heard back from kintec and no he did not drop the hull it was that way when it came in and a few others were as well and expressed lately they have been hit or miss.Also to everyone that is saying that there finish is great and you got it years ago or even just lately it does not mean that because yours showed up looking really good that they are not also letting standards down when it comes to the finish a bit.

    To any Mod reading this Thread if it keeps going in a negative fashion on ward please do not lock this Thread Please do not give out warnings and do not ask me if I would like the Thread locked just delete the whole thing and make it go away as this is not what boating is about and I'm sorry if the way I expressed myself did not help in making people think I was over reacting and I would like to say sorry and please let's just enjoy this forum and not argue about a stupid hull it is what it is and I'm not thrilled about it but as I said before it olny some sand paper and paint I'm just overly thrilled about but I can live with it.

      I think tjw4700 is also wade. Notice the spelling errors are exactly the same, and the run-on sentences. There is no punctuation whatsoever, to make any of it legible.

        Wade you don't owe anyone an apology and you're right, this is not what boating is about.

        This thread now borders on bashing and the plug is going to be pulled shortly if it stays on it's present course.

        Guys, if you don't like the content of the thread you don't have to read it. If you can make a positive contribution then please do so. If not, please find something else to do with your time.
        Thanks,

            It's like a train wreck, I just can't look away.
            But, I will keep out from this point on.
            Sorry wade, have fun with your boat or whatever you end up doing.

                If you look at his join date Paul is his real name and joined after me as I found the forum and really liked and I told Paul about it,just so you know I do and do not have any ill feeling's towards you or anyone else at anytime about anything that was said in this Thread,also you have been good to me so far on this forum and there are many post's to back that up when I was asking you stuff about your Mean Machine you always answered in a kind manner and understood I had done some Nitro stuff but never anything Brushless in a Boat and for that I would like to thank you.

                Paul has also been a good friend and poor typing skills are onething we share for sure and Paul is so behind the times he will tell you never mind being able to type it's a miracle he can even find the on button on a PC,I know when Paul got his first PC and he had a problem he called and I said go to your start button and he said I already did and my PC has booted up to the Desktop and I said no the button that say's Start in the bottom left Oh ok that makes more sense I seen that one a bunch before to as well and that is just Paul pretty much the same way today.

                  Forgive me for jumping in here, I was really thinking of getting this hull, I know AM came up with V2 for FE and the ease of taping the hatch. My questions may be a silly one: the old hatch seemd to afford more room, would this benefit a FE set up? Reason I ask is that OSE has the yellow in the old style. I wonder if it is ok to get the old style...
                  I have a Neu 1515 iy sitting around, would this be a reasonable motor? ( I know it is a good motor, just wonder if it is too small)
                  Thanks!

                            Thanks for your offer, I will def. ask for them along with your advice. I just think it will be awhile before I have a chunk of time, the dreaded season for orchestra started this week.
