Sj pointed me to the New Rio by AquaCraft.
Who's going to be the first to repower it electric?

Look like a Neu or a Lehner candidate...it's funny tower had it on their site before Aqua did about 3 weeks ago.Samuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

Would the NEU 1527 power this OK? Or would it need the NEU 2215?Nothing like keeping you lipos warm and your prop wet!!

Well, a couple of us out here in Cali are going this direction for a big boat:
Made by DF. It's called a "Sniper".
We're putting Lehner 3060/10 motors in them and will run them on 10S packs with a Schulze 40-160 ESC. Should have them going by the end of the year!!
I've thought about the Rio, but just for fun and keeping as built. I am not sure you can get a bare hull from AquaCraft, so it seems a $$ way to go!!Don't get me started

Sniper is cool. I just sold my electric version that I got as a sample to a guy in Europe. I have another one coming in a week. But that's for another topic.
The Rio is a beauty. I would love to find out the weight of one without the motor. Something tells me its going to be a pig!Steven Vaccaro

a 2280 should work in that , if it can power a 1/8th on 10s it should do this just fineComment

Steve:
Fuji BT-28
Weight: 3.25lb (1.47kg)
AC rio 51
Weight:13.75 lb (6.4 kg)
it looks like it is 10.5 lbs with out motor
Then there is that huge tuned pipe.
I'm gona as the hull less pipe and motor is about 9 lbs.Comment

Well after removing the fuel tank, radio box and cutting out some stringers say 7 pounds. I'd say it's possible.Comment

the fuel tank isnt very much,
Personally i would leave the radio box in there, anything helps and it doesn't hurt,
I would also leave the stringers just like they are now. You would be surprised on the power a 2280 will put you, Most likely more then that Fuji in there.Comment
