Holy cow, I'm glad you didn't say you were buying the boat in the auction! Great looking boat, but what a rip off! And he's got the gall to say the prop's not included! LOL!

anyhow, it says the rudder is a PIP brand, but homemade strut? I dunno... You may ask Chris Fine (finedesign) for recommendations on how to set that hull up for less than a mere $2,500

(must be an ebay joke!), he can probably point you in the right direction, I'm not familiar with the hull you have. Maybe someone else can help more.

DAMN! $2,500.00 for a .21 Cat? The boat is beautiful but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much money! For that kind of price tag I'd expect the 72" version with a Gas motor in it. The radio isn't US legal either so that would have to be swapped out. PIP boats have probably one of if not the best fiberglass lay-ups ever seen though.

No telling what the shipping would be from Hong Kong, that would be scary!

If you call Chris, expect a big long-distance phone charge, the guy likes to talk!

Hardware i would go with J&G hardware, Or speedmaster.

I have J&G on my cat and it works well. 1/4 inch flex cable needed.

Hypertorque engine mounts, i would assume your putting a Zenoah in it.

CG should be about 32-33% engine should be right in the center of gravity.

J&Gs got a site, dont know it tho.

Email Butch,,,,, [email protected]

and he can get you the hypertorque mounts.

Ron buck,

i think its www.buckmotors.com

I think Ron can get J&G stuff, and he has hypertorque mounts as well.
