Very nice. Does it perform as well as she looks? I'm thinking about using the SPD drive and would like input from you as to performance. Where is the cg on it. Looks to far back but then I cant see the rest of the boat for comparison. Good job.
Let us know how she runs.

Very nice indeed. Handy work looks prima'.

Head over to Radio Control Zone .com and show those guys also. There's a few that run them also.

Real sharp looking boat.To me,it would not make any difference how fast it went.Where do you guys get your graphics? Have them made up special.They would cost a big buck up here.NICE JOB.

ToyBoy63,

WHH made the graphics for their boat, however; check this post and you might find what you need [email protected] I saw a boat on Jim's boat dock that they made of the same exact graphics of WWH's. I'll post videos when I run her.

Magyarbacsi,
I haven't run her yet, but it looks promosing this week. From other people that have responded about the SPDIII drive system were very satisfied with it. The best speed that I've gotten from other individuals that have this boat was 49.8 GPS with a stock 260.

There are LOTS of vinyl cutters out there ... ALL willing to do the work you need . All you need to do is simply ask them .
The one suggested , I would personally avoid . I dealt with him and then out of the clear blue , WHAM .... not only over charged , but did not even come close on the proper sizes that I ordered . Then instead of correcting HIS mistake , he wanted MORE monies for the SAME job that HE goofed !
That was MY experience with him .
But before that incident , I guess all went well . But myself , I will not deal with him ever again .

Now , about the MANTA RAY ... VERY nice looker ... hope she runs up to expectations . ( sure do have a GOOD looker there though ! [8D] )
Something to be proud of . Clean install also !
Just curious though .... how far DO you have your motor ? ( CG )

I think its just the reflexion off your carpet or is the out drive anodized red. Looks sharp.
Speed of 50 for a big boat like that ought to be a blast. Did I miss it or did you mention the total weight as rtr?

ibuildstuff

i know of a guy with a mantaray runnin 50-52 mph... that hull isnt supposed to do that fast, 40-45 tops... it can be done, and he did it with a stock 260 and a heavly modded x482

Thats the problem these days,lets say you take your car to a mechanic or body shop and they expect you to pay for the things they do wrong or break,the sign of a professional is delivering the product or performing a service in a reasonable amount of time and for the agreed on price.Coming back to you and asking for more money to cover thier mistakes is not the sign of a professional.

Beautiful Boat ! Excellent Job !
Hope she performs as well as she looks.

The outdrive has been anodized, the carpet makes it hard to see. The boat weighs 20 pounds RTR.
