    The rpmtech foxtrot kit now available!

    My inventory of hulls has arrived and we're almost ready to roll. Just waiting for The D&E Fittings Kit to arrive (about a week away)

    I am SO impressed with this hull, the detail likens to an injection molded model. Its quite incredible - just look!

    What is even more spectacular is the way the model has been molded, no chopped strand, this is done with woven sheet. The lower hull is three times thicker that the upper section, making the boat extremely light above the waterline. I've never seen a model done like it.

    Note also that there is a perfect tab running along the edge of the lower hull, to align the upper hull as it overlaps.

      Fittings Kit - $130 Includes 3 props, bulkhead, shafts, Klik-ons, planes, and other stuff Merriman hasn't told me about, or photographed. He's been too busy playing in the pond with this boat.

      Retract Mechanism $130 - waiting on Rick Palumbo for photos

      (There guys! Did I throw you under the bus far enough?)

      Hull $520

      Sub- driver Kit $365.00 Assembled $450

      I can't do the web page so I can take your money until these bums cough up the photos etc! :-)

          Having been the one who was beating the drum trying to get this kit produced, may I ask when will the remaining parts be ready? Tom was one of the original parties interested in buying one & I know there are still several others who'd like to see this completed.

            Bug Mr. Merriman please. Everyone who reads this, please email Mr. Merriman with the following message

            How much longer until we get our Foxtrot Fittings Kits?

            Maybe that will do the trick! :biggrin:
