made my decision!

[scottericsonon]

well after hours and hours of exaustive searching and getting opinions from several different boards ive decided im buying a AC Boats Blast Cat

Definatly going with Zenoah 26power

probably going to buy off of rocket city racing (unless anyone thinks otherwise)

ill post pics as soon as i get everything in

im really looking forward to this project

talked to our painters at work and theyre going to mix me some 2004 GM "Sunburst Orange Metallic" im thinking the orange with color changing (purple to green)flames and metallic blue edges and tips on flames(i love to paint stuff)

thanx for everyones help

If I said I'm jealous, I mean it :D

From whats been said, it sounds like an excellent choice. Its a beautiful boat too.

[Ron Olson]

Brian Watts is a good guy to deal with. The new Blast Cat is a rough water hull and that's where it shines. Usually no problem if you are racing it as the water does get stirred up by the time that the clock hits zero.

[scottericsonon]

LOL

not 10 minutes after i posted this i found a boat on Ebay im bidding on http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3190622985&category=19166&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBBI%3AIT&rd=1


THATS the kind of price im talking about for a used boat

i mean ill spend a grand on a NEW boat but most of the ones i see used are 8-900 bucks

ill let everyone know what shakes out

scott

[dag]

thanks, now i'll bid on it!!!!


just kidding, good luck

I didn't know zenoah had 35 cc engines?

[scottericsonon]

actually neither did

i emailed the seller asking about it but i figure the boats worth it for the hull and the tuned pipe and all

scott

[Ron Olson]

Not a whole lot of info in there on the boat. I'd be e-mailing him to get more spec's on it. What pipe, hardware, if there is a radio system included and what it is, etc. before going gung-ho on it. He specifies the servos but that's it. I'm not trying to discourage you, but do ask questions. Another big one is an estimate of shipping charges to your Zip code. A lot of eBayers will stab you on shipping if it isn't specified.

[FlyerCAN]

nice 4 price

[scottericsonon]

hey flyer can

since you currently own the boat what else can you tell me about it???


whats the scoop on that engine?????

est shipping to 19602??????????????

thanx scott

[FlyerCAN]

I don't own it, I just requested a pic from the owner with the lid installed.

Wish I owned it, but then it wouldn't be up for sale. I asked him about the engine and he said that he was sure of it. You can do an estimate yourself online about the shipping. Just go to the shipping site of your preferance and do an online quote.

[scottericsonon]

hats off to you flyer

u really didnt have to do that

oh well point is moot as i was out bid in the last few minutes

scott

[FlyerCAN]

Don't start bidding yet. It was a first timer who made that winning bid and may want to back out of it. You are second in line and have the choice of taking it at your price if he does.

[scottericsonon]

well crap

what do i do then??/
should i email rocket city about a new one or what???


bah

i think im just buying a NEW boat kit and building it from scratch

that way i have the fun of crashing it for the first time


scott

[FlyerCAN]

That is the main reason why i wont build my own. I would hate to crash a model I built myself.

well it happens you know

could be worse

last week i put a 4" scratch in my 2 month old 6thousand dollar Snap-On toolbox while i was at work

i knew it was going to happen sooner or later but id rather it was me than someone else

i might have been forced to beat them to death with my BFH :D (Big Fuggin Hammer)

i crash my NTC3 and Savage all the time its no biggie just lets me know which parts i need to upgrade

and dont even get me started on planes


scott

[Ron Olson]

Scott, we won't get you started on planes, that's why I run boats! I got to where I could crash them really good.

[FlyerCAN]

:D Rofl :D

[BoatDoc]

i remember crashing my Great Planes Easy Sport, it was an awesome plane. i sold my remaning airplane gear and got into boats. haven't looked back once!

[Hydro Junkie]

Come on guys! Planes are great, Planes are fun, Planes are to the air what a boat is to the water............A HOLE TO THROW MONEY AT!!!!!!!!!!! :D The difference is a crash isn't INSTANT DEATH to a boat :eek: Maybe that's why I'm a Hydro rather than Plane Junkie :D

[scottericsonon]

ive got enuff holes to throw money into lol

probably a grand into my slot car stuff

about a grand into my NTC3

more money than i want to think about in my savage

maybe 20thou (SHHHHH! dont tell wife) in tools ..i need them for work yeah.........thats it...i need them ALL for work....hehehe

planes ARE fun but to money hungry for me

scott

[Hydro Junkie]

NO argument there hehehehe :D

[Doubledog]

I've got a Great Planes Flight Simulator with a few add-ons. Thats enough flying for me. Other than that, its on the water.

PLANES DON'T THROW ROOSTER-TAILS !:)
