Sport 20 hulls/kits: good one to look at?

[JimZaremski]

I'm looking at Sport 20. I've found the blazer Whiplash which I'm inclined to get since my Blazer gas hydro runs so well, but if there are others out there I'm all ears.

With modifications, the Dumas Pak hull isn't bad, just not state of the art

 

[brad nichols]

Be a lot of work to build the Dumas but it would look nice! The Whiplash or one of ML's kit would be the best build.

I would go with the Whiplash kit or there's Phil Thomas Hull too.

 

[dave roach]

20 Whiplash would be my choice.

 

[Beau Parsons]

20 Whiplash would be my choice.

I would second that, the 20 Wood WHiplash is a pretty easy build

The 20 whiplash is great but the radio box sucks.

Not a bunch of room to work with inside the boat neither.

The ML boat has a ton of room as does the PT.

I have had much success with my roundnose sport 20. Phil Thomas also makes fiberglass roundnose as well.

good luck keep us informed whichever route you take

Jim,

Look at an ML Boatworks GP-310 or GP 330. The hull I run is the GP-310. Laser cut kit fits together very well.

Regards,

If your not in a big rush to build, I am finishing up the first GSX310 (31") sport hydro kit. This has a dedicated Nitro center section, or FE center section, and should be a major player soon. The GSX380 (38" Sport 40) version is an incredible running hull, as is its big brother the GSX480 gas sport hydro. As you can see, there is tons of room inside this hull as well. This is the nitro version pictured. I have to do the canopy plug next, then all will be ready to offer soon after. This uses the truss technology of the GSX380 and GSX480 gas sport kits, and makes for a roomy, strong interior. The pics below of the unfinished hull are the 310, and the blue one, is a finished 380.

As you can see, it also has a new design no one else is offering which interlocks the sponsons to the center section a the correct 90 degrees, with no chance for it to not line up, due to the dowel rod and air relief frame that forces a perfect fitment.

I build this hull...

 

[brad nichols]

Nice design Mike!! I like the idea of the dowel to align things. You may loo at offering sponson replacement kits as some of us do go bouy hunting. Thaks for what you do for the hobby in making great fitting kits that are the best to build even for a novice!!

I have built and ran the ML kits and have to say they are builder friendly most so over the Blazer due to being specific to either Nitro or FE for the FE I would go with ML no mod's required especially when it comes to taping down cowls. Whiplash needs some mod for easy taping. ML already has it designed for taping. JMHO Jerry

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Brad, I can definitely offer replacement sponsons if anyone were to need them!

Thanks Jerry!

Mike, do you have a price set as of yet? Also, when do you expect to have nitro version

kits ready to ship? Put me down for one, please. I don't have a winter project, the build table is feeling lonely.

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Robin, Are you looking for a sport 20 or 40 size GSX hull? Let me know. The Nitro and FE version of each size are already designed, and I have cut both in the past already! The sport 20 just needs the cowling plug and mold done, then it is ready to go. But I could get you the wood parts now, and send you the cowling when its ready. Just PM me man! Hope you are doing well, Mike

 

[moparbarn]

Sport 20, Mike. The wood parts first would work. I'll pm ya about particulars this evening, gotta hit the wife up for an early Christmas present(-;. I've been doing well, thanx for asking - hope you are doing well also!

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Yes sir, I am doing great. Started my life over this year, and never been happier!

 

[James Schmidt]

Good looking hull is that your own design? Killer. By the way thanks for turning me on to delrin it worked great on my motor mount.
