    Synchron self righting Rx ready

    Boat is sold!

    Amazing self righting boat and long run times.

    Here is a vintage boat from Joseph Toth (pirosteel) joysport guru.
    This was a champion 20 years ago and does exceedingly well on little power. Steps are super sharp and rudder is stock. I removed stock strut an have a simple brass tube to allow some adjustment. I moved water intake and will include nylon 35mm prop.

    Not stable above 35-40 mph, recommend for 2s. 3650 leopard, 3900 kv, 28.5” hull 34” with hardware.
    $150 shipped con us.

                I'm thinkin mabe the above 35...40 mph it's unstable statement might be scareing people away....any way to help it go faster....

                  The way to make it go faster would be to change out motor esc and add more weight.
                  This is quite light and that is why it is so efficient. But if one wanted more speed, swap out power plant for a 4S system and go 4s2p.

                  I was trying to keep this economical and as it is now, these are the honest limitations.
                  Don’t want to sell something for what it is not.

                  I will sell just hull and hardware for $100 shipped

                        How about $100 shipped and I'll bring it up to someone who might be interested for his young boy. If not maybe I'll take it myself to add to my "kid friendly" boats that I let the neighborhood kids play with.

                            Awesome, I just got done talking to him and I forgot I was supposed to ask you about the small repair on the port side of the boat. He was worried about if there would be any leaks, but I told him that not to worry as I explained that that's the flood chamber side where it will fill up with water anyways so that the self-righting feature would function correctly. But, he still wants to know what or how it happened and if there are any concerns even if it's negligible.

                              Small repair was there when I got the boat. Call it a battle wound that adds character.
                              No leaks, and very sturdy; was done by mr. Synchron himself.
