    How about a virgin H & M Maritimo? The hull was for a project that I may never get to.

    Let me know if you have any interest, and I can send pictures.

          Jim,
          Here are a few pics of the Maritimo. My TS Jolly is in the background for a size comparison.

          I would sell it at $225. That is $96. less than new. If you are interested let me know.

            Here are two pics of blems that were in it when I first received the hull. One is on the the left exhaust shroud, there is no gelcoat on the edge. The second was a crack in the seam where the right sponson meets the deck. That was closed up with CA, and a small amount of epoxy was poured over the inside of the seam. These are the only notable issues. I can take additional pics and email them to you if you are interested.

            Again, I hate to see it go, but it has been a shelf queen due to lack of time. H & M Maritimo 013.jpg

              Johnny,
              Sorry, but I'm gonna pass on the Maritimo. They don't turn as well as some others. Too skinny! A friend of mine had one and got rid of it for that reason.

                No problem Jim. I hated to part with it, but I would rather see it used than sit.

                She goes back on the daydreaming shelf!

                Good luck in your hunt,
                John

                  hmmmmm ....you might want to reconsider sailr.......I can think of a few guys here that would differ with you ....bonewar and wolf IV come to mind and i have seen many youtube videos of this hull very stable at high speed


                  its 5" longer and 2" wider than the famous HOTR cat

                  I am building one right now with twin bj 26 engines each with its own 6s lipo

                  and at $225 its a steal

                      Nick,
                      Agree it's a good price but I have to defer to one of the fastest guys on the pond in our club that got rid of his to run an Aeromarine hull which he says turns much better. Ain't as purty I'll admit. The H&M should be a screamer in the straights but the narrow hull makes it suffer in the turns. We're not running SAWS.

                      The HOTR is way too small anyway. Q offshore we are running is NEU 1521 on 6S.

                      Thanks!

                            two things ...first your club member is right ..for all out competition aeromarine is very hard to beat in oval racing......in the length you asked for than aeromarine Team believer or the 34.5" sprint-cat would fit the bill....second if you want to compete with there 1527 neu motors at a lower cost the 580L 9t or 10t would fit the bill on 6s2p and if you want to annihilate them get a $160 Scorpion motor 4035-800

                            but you know better than anyone fastest is not always the best...you have to "finish" the race to win

                              Great recommendation! I'll check into the Scorpion motor for sure!
