look what was free
i was lookin on the ose forms last night and saw this. free if picked up in ky. well im 20 miles down the road from this guy so i will go get it.
turned out its a cool find for me.
its got a mod hanson g230. all servos. some board pluged into the 3rd channel. all wood. no hatch. he said he lost it in a blow over. i guess i wont run it with a hatch.
it came with 2 nice octura props.

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

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.[8D]

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
