    Another Boat?..

    Has anyone discussed this one? When I started (not long ago) the SV27 had just come out and it was basically the ONLY RTR that you could buy that would really haul. Now there are so many RTR's to pick from it makes your head spin.

      Strange there's no video on the sites. At least they got away from the steerable outdrive.

                    It's a bigger hull as well... with the proper angles and hull geometry, so it's going to be able to handle more prop as well...

                      This one seems to be a few inches wider than the BJ,,,that should make it way more stable.

                        Now my question is - will the bare hull be sold by itself?

                          Guys... this one is NOTHING like the BJ boats... It's a completely freshly designed hull and hardware. I'd have to go home and look at the drawings again, but I have it at 5.5" wide in the tunnel. It's designed to be a "sport boat", with the appeal of a scale, but that can be dropped right into the P-Limited Offshore class and be raced right out of the box.

                          I can't wait for them to post the video of it. I think it looks great on the water.

                            Jay, I think they usually do sell the replacement hulls... so I would assume so.
