Status: offline 		I'm looking for hulls that look like the boat pictured here. I know of the Dumas kit, but I can"t seem to find unbuilt ones anywhere. Size range doesn't matter. I was also considering the Shockwave 55 Hull. Could you lay some more hulls on me that are readily available?
Thanks
Mike

Status: offline 		Hi Mart,

Does this guy make hatches for the boat? From that picture I wouldn't want that hull... It doesn't have alot of the standout features of the KV. I guess I should let you know, I'm really looking for the square 80's style angles that the boat has. That boat is much more streamlined.

Was this boat a one off boat?

Status: offline 		Well i spoke to me friend and he tells me he bought it off another guy who made it,i know a few guys in Malta make there own hulls as they find it hard to get hold of hulls because of the shipping etc ,some are one offs some maybe not lol.I know what you mean about the older style lines im sure theres a guy over there does those too if i see or hear anything ill let you know.I wish i had a mould for one i like them a lot .

Status: offline 		I wish you did too, because I would buy it from you in a Heartbeat!
Thanks for the help and please let me know if you find anything out...
Also I would be fine with the Dumas kit, it's just I can never find it in stock anywhere.
Maybe you know places in the u.s that do have it in stock??

Thanks Mart,
Mike

Status: offline 		The boat in your picture is the Miami Vice version used in the TV series.The boat used in the first season was a 39' Chris Craft Stinger which looked simular to the Scarab. Here's pics of the Stinger.The pic on the left is the boat used in the season opener and then the one on the right was used for the rest of the first season

Status: offline 		Hans-Peter Rotschi (HPR) decided not to produce that boat (info on the Swiss board) due to minor interests. Maybe he will sell the one existing boat.
But: compared to US and Asean prices the European prices are much more higher. Swiss prices higher than rest of Europe. Quality I am not able to compare because I have never owned an US or Asean hull.
If interested: give him a mail.
