Title: Hull id and help please.
Post by: kennison78 on September 28, 2010, 09:55:19 am

Hi,

This could be my first post here so hello :)

I need some help with my next project. I purchased this hull a few years ago but I have no idea what it is. The length is approx 40inch long and I think it came from Nimriff Models. I know I could drop them a mail but I thought I would try here first and see if any of your chaps are familiar with it?

I want to put a Zenoah in it to be my first petrol boat, I already have nitro's but at 40inch is it too small?

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply and link but I already have too many nitro projects on the table O0

Do you mean one of these arrow sharks?

I have found out its a Predator MKII from Nimrif Models. Designed to run a 7.5cc Nitro, they say a Zenoah might make it too much of a handfull  {:-{

Looks like I might have to invest in another hull.
