i love it when people sell boats on ebay and they say their in good condition and then it shows up on my door step i get all excited to go run it and i open up the box and its junk i got a predator rigger today with a cracked hull broken servos and a gummed up motor the seller said all it needed was a battery pack receiver and a mixture servo gotta love worthless sellers
 
Ebay is the wrong place to buy used boats and motors , no matter how good they look.

Unless you know the person selling its a real crapshoot what your going to end up with.

John, Lets make it work anyway. Got a photo? Take the motor out and drop it in some acetone.
 
If it's an old DeHoog Predator, it would be fun to see it rebuilt and running. I've got a soft spot for his boats. My first outrigger was one of Mikes .45 dragons from about 1982.

Let's see some pics.
 
looks like you got two votes on the rebuild. We can get those stress cracks fixed and that old motor back humming in no time. Show it, weve probably seen alot worse.
 
Throw it away to me then John coz youve already spent the dough, how would you not be losing to throw it away :huh: . To me thats crazy so if you opt to take the later route please throw your trash to me. Epoxy and glass dont cost me much and if you dont open the motor you dont know what you got. a few turns with marvel mystery might be all it takes . No matter just throw it away here . Pm me. Some people got cash to order and throw away,im a poor man and dont mind a little work. Thats the only way I ever got anything in life so i will take it Im not to proud to beg. When Im done you will not know the boat.
