Status: offline 		Not sure but if its a dumas kit its worth quite a bit as they only made a few and no longer make them,least thats what i was told by a mate who has a scale dumas kit of the slo mo shun.He brought it back from the states some years ago,its pretty fast but very unstable.When scaled down the sponsons been quite short compaired to say my rockett which was designed for rc mean they just dont handle great.The one in these pics takes half the lake to turn so yours could be a handfull but def worth trying to get her running again,not trying to put you off just warning you .
Mart
ps you can now see what the canopy should look like,easy to make ,bit of foam some glass cloth and some slow set epoxy and yer half way there .

Status: offline 		The V967 doesn't have a tounge area. Its supposed to have been one of the modified from the package props. Attached is an example from ABC. Their version is called the SGH. Not well known and has a smaller diameter than the Octura. Still very similar. The tips on this one was left rounded to reduce some lift.


...Back on point...
Thats a fine boat you've got. You could've tipped the guy a couple of Benjamin's and still been waaaaay ahead. Get it in the water & take some pictures.

Did I say thats a cool boat.? Sweet.

Status: offline 		pipe length depends on the port timing but it can range from 11" to over 13" start at 12 and see what she does...
measure along the pipe centerline from piston face to pipe center at the bulge
