    I've got one that has half an inch of dust - I did retrofit the drive with a flex that goes into the steerable outdrive. I can post up pics if you like.

        What exactly are you looking for? a small vee hull? what dimensions are you after? I have a mini vee and mini rio... but not a small vee, sorry misunderstood.

              I forgot how much I had done to this lil guy.

              retrofit straight shaft with .098" flex and 1/8" stub - I had to shim the drive
              Futaba S3114 servo, well seated and smooth
              turn fins/ trim tabs - with water pick up and transom fixture

              Hull and hatch are intact, no cracks or dings. the deck was a little sun faded when I got it, but still solid. I modified the inner tray some, but you may end up removing and glassing - not a bad move. I silicone sealed the hatch on - not a drop got in, just a strip of tape along the front of the hatch cause the little keeper broke off. Magnet in rear is still intact.

              all you see for $80 shipped. It is an x432 prop - I have a couple plastic ones I can throw in too. W/O prop, $60 shipped (and I still throw in assortment of plastic props)

                  Here is my last run with it - I was trying to flip it and no dice.

                  Motor mount? ... I can go look, but it would be the clamp style.

                  After seeing that vid... I am less in a hurry to sell. But if you really want it, I will still sell as described.


                  edit: looked for mount - nope. they are $2.99 at horizon hobby. You may be better off buying a bare hull ($38) and going from there. a brand new one is only $80. I can't let this one go for less than posted, too much time/upgrades involved.

                      No problem. It was good to get that guy back out, I forgot how cool it is. You got me thinking of getting it back running again.

                      Also, you have clarified your needs.

                      good luck,
                      Jesse

                          make one out of foam and epoxy? a micro cat? I have the plans for a balsa cat you can scale to whatever size you want.

                          maybe you can talk Sailr Jim into just a Velocity hull?
