No not really , it cost me a little more than a WWH man of war and less that a ballantine. A good friend of mine got it for me in Germany and had it shiped down here

RE: Pictures of my boat
Okay, so what do you want to hear about your boat? <sarcasism detected>
Really, thats a very nice setup you've got there. Clean installation & the drive just adds that extra.
I'm in Germany also & have seen a lot of MTC equipment. My buddy has an MHZ Fountain XXX with MTC hardware.
One more and I'm out of here. The drive... how does your hull like it? I've been wanting one just to kick around with and might have to consider it. What prop combo also.
Thanks for the reply and take care of that fine rig you've got.

Have you been pleased with the MHZ outdrive? I have been dying to get one, but wanted to get some feedback on it. Can you pst the details on your boat (brand of hull, engine size etc.) Also, has your battery life been short becuse of the constant torque of turning the outdrive? Thanks in advance..

RE: Pictures of my boat
The Z Drive is something I have always wanted but all my friends in the RC boat world have always told me to stay clear away from them. Let me tell you guys something opinions are like *******s every ones got one. The quality of MHZ workmanship in there Z drive and hull is excellent when I take the boat out it the handling of this boat is great. The rougher the water the better. The hull is comfortable in any water condition I throw at it takes turns like its on rails in the water. I am very happy with my purchase as for the battery drain I was running the 4 pack for a while the only reason I changed is to get the rechargeable battery pack. I am going to get a video made and post it here sometime next week so look out for it. The boat hull is called MHZ ocean spray it’s really just a glorified challenger 48 that’s made better, I am running a stock Zenoah 26 with a MHZ quite pipe (very quite) it has MTC trim tabs and water cooling jacket and a custom made radio box

RE: Pictures of my boat
Well it is very impressive!! Can't wait to see the video.. I guess the only local place to order the MHZ outdrive is from Boatman Hobbies? Will MHZ ship from Germany to an individual in the US? I am pretty new to boats, but now have a couple under my belt, and now want to build something that will really turn some heads... Thanks for your help..

RE: Pictures of my boat
Pretty Awesome! I talked to the guy at MHZ USA today. Found out how much all of the parts i wanted would cost.. Let's just say you got a really good deal on your boat...
He called me instead of emailing me, so I totally forgot to ask about the prop nut...
I can have my cousin machine a couple for us if I order one of thos MHZ drives..
