Looks like a jet sprint style hull but it does not look like any of the commercially available hulls I am familiar with.

The flat vee leads me to believe it is for a jet pump. Similar to this swashdrive bottom I imagine - http://imageevent.com/justaddwata/my...=0&w=4&s=0&z=4

Okay two questions Matt.

One, are you planning on starting an RC boat museum? You seem to have a sample of, well, everything including propellers.

Two, are you trying to get me fired? Every time you send out a picture link I spend a half an hour, at the least, on the computer at work gawking. The Miss Geico replica cost me two hours of my life I'll never get back.

Recognized Dasboata, Chris, in one of the pictures. Was he bringing you a new shipment?

Agree, looks to be a delta keel hull likely design for SQUIRT propulsion ....
And being your in OZ, very likely !!

Check: Swashdrive

Scott - it looks quite different in profile to the swashdrive hulls I have seen thus far but could be an early prototype.

i also havent seen this shaped hull before but i am familiar with the swashdrive hulls and thought that i was similar to those !!!
oh well i will put it back into storage as i have no use for a jet boat hull !!

any ideas how it would handle with a stinger drive unit on it ??

Using GAS power such as a Zenoah 260 or RCMK, if OAL is 45" or better it should work. If stubby like 40" give or take .... Shelve it, it is a squirty [:'(]
