    Wtb: Blackjack 26 hull or similar.

    Crashed my bj 26 yesterday and cracked the front right of it. Not in the mood to fix it...again. Anyone have a bj 26 hull or similar cat hull they want to sell?

        mean machine hulls RULE!!! great deal. Your BJ hardware should work fine until you can upgrade. If you want to sell your BJ motor let me know...

            post a pic. The mean machine is 29" and is a top notch cat. handles best of any of em. I would do some more researchin on the HOR cats if I were you, I am not convinced of their quality. I have had a MM and they rock! kinda bummed I sold it - but had to.

            post a pic of your hardware and then we can assess.

                Riiiiight, strudder. and you mentioned slack. I would go with an offset rudder. You can get by with using the boom to hold the strut, but I think you would want to have your rudder offset especially if there is any slack.

                        They had some storm damage to their warehouse. No damage, fiberglass does not

                            They charged me 15.00 Shipping to Arizona. I was originally running a SV 25 motor but switched to a XL9 and found a Hacker navy 70 esc to control it. Have been tuning the strut and COG. So far a best of 42mph. But this is a super stable hull.

                              So you bought it with their hardware?.....

                              the $90.00 one? or did you have your own?.......42mph,not bad to start with.I`m barely new to the hobbie and been looking to finally jump to a better fiberglass hull and Brushless technology(have couple brushed ones).Seems this hull is a bargain as i have checked everywere and it cost much more even for just the bare hull!!!...................Oh and was gonna go for the yellow one,but after seeing yours in white,it made me think about it as i like it a lot much more........
                              Thanks for the info......Albert
