So here is a revolt 30 that I picked up off a friend who tried to paint then primered it and discovered he gave it crocodile skin. I sanded and primered and then painted it a nice dupont eurythane metallic blue. It now has a 120a esc and a 2300kv motor and an Octura 440/3 prop balanced and sharpened. A second water pick up was added as well as another water outlet. The motor and esc are now cooled seperately. The left side turn fin was removed and the holes were filled in. The right side turn fin is from a SV-27. The stuff tubing was removed and re-installed to keep the flex shaft from grinding against the stuff tube next to the motor collet. The stuff tubing was also given a negative angle as its normal resting point instead of being semi submerged. (I know the angle was not that extreme but without pulling the tube on this revolt there was no way to get a negative angle out of the strut.) I will be testing this boat with a set of 40c 4s and 5s packs. More pics to come.......

So there is all the pics. The boat also had some damage on the nose from where my friend speared a paddle boarders board. Long story behind transmitter and recievers not being bound properly. I did all the work and the paint as well. Now all I need is some decnt weather to run this baby ........

I sold the boat to a guy who works in a hobby shop here in Reno. I may be able to get a outline or I might be able to get an actual set and mail them to you.

I'm surprised Aquarcraft doesn't sell decal sets. It seems like they could make some money off them, and it would really help those who re-paint their boats.

I believe aquacraft does make a kit.
I like to be able to make custom ones.
Different style then the stock ones..

I couldn't find anything on their site or elsewhere online. Please shoot me an e-mail if you do develop your own set of windshield/windows or a more extensive decal set; I'd be interested in a set. FWIW, I have an unreasonable affection for NACA ducts, so I'd be extra interested in a replacement decal set that included such intakes for the stock locations or elsewhere.
