    Looking for a DF26

    Anybody got a Delta Force 26 hull or hull/hardware collecting dust?
    After playing with my buddies a couple times I really want one.
    OSE is out of stock and I need to find one before sequestration furloughs me and takes 20% of my paycheck

    Thanks!!!

        They look very similar, how is the quality/performance of the bling vs. the DF?
        Is it a 3/16" stinger?
        F/C Hardware?
        Any pictures?
        What would you want price for hull/hardware and motor mount shipped to WA?

        Thanks Ray!!!

              Some pics of the DF 26 I have. Solinger hardware on it. I did twist a shaft in half and had to replace the stuffing tube at one point along with the strut. I made some rails out of G10 and replaced the side pieces of the adjustable mount in the process. Makes the bottom stiff. Servo plate is G10 and is drilled for a Hitec MG85. Ran it with a 1515 .5Y. Small ding on the tip of the right side turn fin, and I did have to move the strut up a little but those holes were filled with epoxy. Otherwise the thing is clean with no spiders. We just don't run this class size much any more.

                    That's a deal. Very nice hull & hardware.

                    A bit nice than the white gelcoat of my TFL bling rocket.

                      I sure appreciate you taking the time to post up some pictures for me.
                      Worth every penny you're asking, VERY nice solinger bit on the transom. I'm afraid I can't afford it right now... 50 above what I've been budgeted.

                        Off to the swap shop for it. Will also be listing some hydros there to make some room in my shop.

                            I'll just throw this out there...I have a budget of around $100 for a hull OR hull/hardware.
                            The DF26 bare hulls were running ~$80 new when they were available...
                            I can go as high as $120 shipped with hardware depending on the condition...but that's about it

                            Hopefully someone has a project they just aren't going to get to, or maybe a used hull sitting on a shelf waiting for her next skipper?

                            Thanks!!!
