          Thanks for the link. That ones ok but looks a little toyish for my liking. I likes the Rio cause it looked some what scale. Few boats do any more. I'd get a Rico but I have no where to build boats. The venom cats are way out of my price range My problem is I want a big scale looking boat and don't have slot of money.

                    Don't classify the whole boat as that, there were motor issues but the rest of the boat is very well built.

                      I know the motors had issues, is there also issues with the hulls and hardware?

                        Steve;
                        Mine is running on 10S with a LMT 3080 in it,,,,,tops out at about 55 Mph, Which is about 15 MPH faster than the gasser, has had blow overs, rolls and several run ins with markers and its held together very well. everything else is stock. I doubt any one else has stressed theirs as much as I have mine.

                        Its a solid platform.
