maybe the hull is camera shy


No sir! Shes as dirty of a girl as the rabbit in your avatar! Im just trying to pester you guy's a little! The paint is amazing to say the very least, the lettering is spot on to. Polishing the alloy Arneson drives tomorrow and hope to have my test props Friday, a set of modified MH$ H50's that have been extended with 55% hard brazing silver solder,and polished to a orgasmic shine <=====|Feel free to write that down, Your going to know this meaning when i unveil her| I really like how this project is going, Not even the chief designer JAW has seen the pics yet.

Lay the mushrooms down Bob, it does not have to bee this way! I got the gear box milled down tonight, installed the 12 open shell ceramic nitride bearing's from boca, What i have decided to do on the gear box is install 3 nipples, I have already put a set screw in the stock breather vents hole and sealed with Locktight Blue, One nippled on the bottom and 1 on each corner, I have a high speed oil used in live oiled dentist tools that spin in the 100+K rpm range day in and day out, Then i have a mini pulse style pump that ill use the pump the oil.

That's a winter weekend not a winter project. A couple friends and some screw guns and you could move in!
Let me know if you ever need help...
My house is a decade project!

Yes there is a website but I currently know of two people who have paid in full for boats and the dealer has not shipped anything more than lies after 5 months. The seller has a long history of giving customers the run around. If you must buy one buy it with a credit card and file a claim with the credit card if your boat is not in hand in full within 3 weeks (And do not accept a tracking number as delivered as this seller has supplieds bad tracking numbers as part of his game). The long and the short of it (in my opinion) is avoid the seller at all cost. PI website is www.blackhawkhobbies.com

You might also consider contacting Hanspeter of http://www.swissmodelpowerboatteam.ch who are the original designers and builders of the hull that PI has copied. I am sure the price is going to be much higher considering shipping but Hanspeter has a stellar reputation for service.
