I am waiting patiently for the new Cat to come out and I hear through the grape vine that the SV27 is to be discounted.
Please tell me this is not true or you are coming out with a better version of this boat I love mine and want to get my son one too.

Hmm , why would they discontinue one of the most popular R/C boats on the water ?

Maybe a revamped model coming out with better cooling and a 2.4Ghz radio outta the box ?

[wizard122]

I hope so

[Brushless55]

Ya, they diso this boat a few weeks ago I think?
I own 4 of them..
I hope they put in the new motor and esc that is going into the new Cat!
and the 2.4g radio

[dgfarb]

I hearrd accidently (from areputable source) that the new version will have 2.4, etc. I haven't been able to confirm it, and the subject was quickly changed.

I hope the new version has a litte more glass in the sides!

[Brushless55]

it for sure will have the Tactic radio like the other boats they sell, this I know..

They'll definitely have another "updated" version. SV27 classes are the most populated classes in many clubs. Our club has run 2 flights of every heat for a couple years now.
It would be a mistake to not continue to capitalize on that popularity, and the guys I've met from AC over the years are smart and in touch with the FE community. They may delay the new vee boat to make sales room for the cat, but I'm confident they won't abandon the fans and supporters of the SV27.
It's fun to speculate though...it may go the path of the TopSpeed, TopSpeed2, VS-1 progression.
I don't think the current Rio boats are meant to be the replacement for the SV, but maybe a Rio27? I'd try one if it's as good a value as the SV27. I think that hull looks great.

Hum.. we are?

How about that.. we are.

I REALY hope a new version of the boat comes out early summer.. with the ever trusty Tactic radio and new better motor and cool black hardware and port side turn fin and new water jacket on the ESC.. maybe even a nice little tow hook on the front would be nice..... that would be cool.....

Hum.. discontinued.. how about that...

:

They were never popular here a few people bought them and ran them for a season then they put them on the shelf, I have not seen one since, that was over 2 years ago. I never even bought one.

O my O my, that sounds amazing. I'm smiling just thinking about it, these words have made my day (true or false it still sounds GREAT)
