Sport 40

[Mike Laing]

This is one of the last boats I have. I had a Steve Peterson Sport 40, fast boat, even beat Steve at least once. Sold it, and starting running Hydro’s. Missed my 40, and had Steve built me a new one with an extra cowl. Built it and had it in the water maybe 2 or 3 times to start getting it setup. Was still working on it then.....
Only thing in the picture I will remove is the receiver. I build my own radio boxes, and included is a couple extra tops. Turn fin was hand built and sharpened by Dick. All parts were new When built. Unless it’s picked up, the stand is to heavy to ship. Only way I will ship is to take the boat and parts to UPS, have them package it and send. Make sure it is insured for the 500.00 plus shipping.
500.00 plus shipping cost.
This boat has been sitting for maybe 3-4 years, and not setup yet. I keep my boats in the basement, constant temp and a humidifier.

Thanks,

Mike

Can we see picture of the whole boat also what does inside of motor look like after sitting 3 or4 years thanks Jeff

I sent someone pictures. But here is a couple. The motor has maybe a half hour of run time. I can take the head off and take a picture if you wish. I clean all my motors out well after running, including water lines. Flush with et and spray inside and out with Corrosion X.
Its always a gamble buying used Thats why it is 500. Even if the hull was bad, or engine needed new piston sleeve and bearings, which I don’t think either. It will still be a good investment. If I was buying it, I most likely would replace the engine bearings. On.
ly because Stu always told me they should be replaced yearly do to the effects of the nitro on bearings. Let me know if you need any other pictures.

I will take it for your asking price plus shipping to 31408.

Since your my first offer for the selling price, it is yours if you still want it. See a few requests for picture of the inside of the motor. I took the head off, as that is as far as I’m willing to go. Not that I’m trying to hide anything, One of the pictures shows a varnish like appearance, that is the oil from the last time I cleaned it after a run. Corrosion X. Love it. For those using WD40, just to remind you WD40 attackers rubber. Use to run off road trucks with my youngest daughter, see said a lot of the drivers were cute, as she crashed the truck 3-4 times a lap. Point is I learned to use WD40 on the tires, softens the rubber which means more traction,,lol

Hey Mike..... I know this is an old thread, but what kind of pushrods are those ?
Something you built yourself ?
Thanks,
Frank

 

[AzMandella]

They look like the arrow shaft pushrods that Scott Myers builds . Here is a link .

yeah, I saw those in the video... but the ones on this sport .40 looked thinner..
unless arrowshafts come in different
diameters ?? It gives it a much cleaner look...

I usually use 4-40 rods and sleeve them with brass tubing soldered to the rod on the ends...makes them pretty stiff.
Polish up the brass tube and spray with clear.
Keeps them looking good.
