Turbine Style Scale

[Watercadet]

I know this is in the Sport and Scale forum. I figure this section would get the kind of boats I am interested better than the general For Sale section.

I am interested in a newer style "wing boat" that I can drop in the water for the Muncy this year. Does not have to be ready to run as far as parts go, but I am looking for a boat that has already been set up and the gremlins worked out. I don't have a lot of time to spend at the pond so, a race ready scale is what I am after. Is there anyone out there with a "Whisper Boat" that may be last season's high point boat, but is building this years?

Again, I don't want to build one. There have been a few close matches in the For Sale section lately but I want a boat from the era that I remember best - 1993 - present; preferably closer to present.

Thanks for looking,

Adam

Anyone?

About 2K would find one I bet.

 

[Watercadet]

I didn't specify how deep the check book was.

Phil is not kidding about the 2K. Do the math: $500 for a motor, $200 for a radio, $400 to $$$????? for a hull, $150 - $200 for hardware, $400 for paint and graphics, and all your time to research, assemble and test to get it running right. This isn't a cheap hobby!

How did I get into this? I have the 93 bud, that was last years champ, And Chuck does have a new boat this year. But he gets mad at me every time I even think about selling the Bud, and Scott Wadlow may just run over me with his 4 wheel drive If I sell it and he doesnt get to buy it. haha! Ken

Adam,

What ya going to do ????

 

[Watercadet]

I keep getting great offers from guys on here. I am looking at them all and weighing my options. I know what an investment in time/labor, money these pieces of art are so I dont want to short change the seller, but at the same time I want to get a boat that I will be proud of and is capable of running consistantly.

Any one else selling their scale?
