I am looking for an aquacraft mini rio. I bought a mini wildcat and proboat mini-v from flea-bay as a combo for my 2-kids and found that the mini-v is very poorly sealed, and not too kid friendly, while the wildcat is sealed tighter than a drum, and can be submerged without any water getting inside the hull. Since the mini rio has the same waterproof design as the wildcat, I'm looking to purchase one to replace the mini-v. Anybody have a stock mini-rio they want to sell??

Here are a few more. I like to have spare parts on hand when I can so I ordered plenty of spares when I bought these boats for my boys. It has not seen alot of use, I have upgraded my boys to the Rio EP's.

I included a shot to show a crack on the bottom of the hull. Can be repaired easily (probably with CA) but if I remember correctly it does not leak. I hit a stick in the water withing 15 seconds of its first run. I told my boy that I had to try it out first. lol.
