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,

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.

My email is [email protected]
 
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

see attached,

Mike if you offer was directed to me thanks but I will pass nice boat well worth it but I have a PT sport 40 I just thought it would be nice boat to add to the collection. Jeff Barnes
 
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.
