N.A.S.A s new space boat

Good for you! You're a big man to step into that role. I hope it produces good results and more happy entrants into the hobby.

Not long ago I stood at the counter of my LHS and overheard a sales associate giving the most absurdly innacurate prop recommendations to an entry-level boat customer. I held my tongue . Two weeks ago the manager asked me if I'd give an SV-27 customer a call; he was having the usual frustrations dialing it in, and the manager, who knew nothing about boats was unable to solve the guy's problems. I ended up having a twenty minute phone conversation with the custy, invited him to the lake, and even offered to have him come to my apt/shop for a dial-in tune-up. The LHS now has my phone number on file and will refer any customer boat questions/situations to me. This is surely a win-win situation : the LHS may now feel more confident in selling boats, and and SoCal Fast Electrics may end up with some fresh talent ! Give this a try, Guys !

I wonder if they can sell just the hull??

I have heard the same BS from sales associates at many locations. I was a salesman and prided myself on giving accurate and honest evaluations of the product. If I thought the product would not meet the customers demands I would suggest a competitor's product.

That N.A.S.A. looking boat will be sweet if it were available in a bare hull!

So ... are you saying you would like a bare naked hull?

Yep, that would make a fine jet drive hull. I'd buy one of the 17 inchers to convert if the hull was available separately. Nice!

Head of the River has the hull for $65.

Sweeet!!! It will probably be a short time before they have the longer versions in stock.

They also have this one... http://cgi.ebay.com/16-outrigger-sha...d=p3911.c0.m14
