    Wrinkles are coming out, no problem.


    So... I might just assemble this one as a prototype and play with it a little.
    So... it may not be for sale much longer...

    Depends on if I feel like drilling it today.

    I can't keep selling things under cost.

      Don't worry about selling them under cost and losing money on each one, you will make it up on volume!

      Neat looking boat, wish I wasn't sitting on an extra few right now.

      He is correct, I have a 24" mono and it is a blast to run. cheap to set up, low cost batteries and full size fun.

      Price seems good for everything that is included. What are the hulls made from, epoxy or polyester on these?

        As far as I can tell, this one is fiberglass with thin weave epoxy separating the flood chamber.

        The only thing I don't like is the hatch is a little thin and can crack easy.

              kind of what i was getting at..the step may not be as good in rougher conditions...but you can only expect so much out of a 25 inch hull anyway..especially over 40mph

                Oh, OK, I didn't know that. I don't have one in hand, so just going on what I was given. I stand corrected.

                I'll try to get some later this week. I have one that's all ready to go, just have to make the time to do it. It's a wicked little bugger!

                        Man I know what you mean. I have let a lot of things get behind lately due to FE fever.

                            Think about it. It's an easy answer.

                            I'll show you after they are mounted. =)

                              Oh and my racer comment, Why would you need two turn fins? He he.

                                for offshore it turns left and right, but this hull wont qualify for most US mono classes because its stepped . Offshore stepped may be allowed?? not sure
                                Just stand off the turnfin around the floodchamber
