not every mono uses a cowl jake, check this out from Insane, it's a trim tab less mono.

Yes they come with a hatch and the AC boats are top quality check out the link I posted earlier. Are you going to be using stock power? If so the Razor may be a better choice, it will run into the 50's withy stock power when set up right. Drop a full mod in the Razor and its a missle and still handles good. I have some info on both as far as recommended hardware and set up and the hulls will come with all the info you need if you order one. Heres the email for a US distributer he is the man when it comes to setting up these boats his name is Dom. [email protected]

The main trouble im having is trying to find all the parts, can he help me put a parts list together? Building it i probally wont have much trouble, but i just can't seem to find all the parts that would work good together and get all the right ones. As for that Razor 45 it looks pretty nice, but im not sure if im going a stock Zeanoh or modded.

The link I posted for need for speed has what your looking for. Carmens pipes are top notch and produce great power. I currently run a 2" band CC racing aluminum pipe but wouldn't hesitate to swap for a NFS pipe. Both places have complete set ups. I use a 2" off set header. I can take some pics of my Razor if you like so you can see what it looks like.

For the first pipe, if you get the 2inch version complete system that comes with everything for the pipes, so you just put everything together and you have a full exhaust system that you screw onto your zeanoh? right?

The 185 price is the whole system pipe header and water cooled flange then yes you bolt it to the motor.

If it sticks out the over the top of the hull you will need a pipe tansom mount if it goes through the hull they have alum sleaves they run through.But that is the complete pipe system.
