Hi guys,
Just doing some minor repairs on my msytic after it drifted against a concrete embankment. No major damage except for crack along the join between the deck and hull in the bow section. I'm a great fan of proboat RTR for the money, and love the finish, but if you are going to be doing some repairs, you might want to put in some extra effort and reinforce the bow section. Bewteen the middle and stern, they have used glass tape to re-inforce the join (yeah), but between foam and the bow, (need to remove the foam to see) it's not as strong....... (see attachments)
It's a great product, but I would have paid a few extra bucks to have a stronger bow from the factory. They probably get resin cheaper in China at the factory in bulk than I do locally in smaller quantaties.
