Found a boat at our family river house in the attic. It was an unbuilt Kyosho Jet Stream 800 with a brushed motor and a mechanical speed control. I built it over a few weekends of visiting an enjoyed running it round. A few months later I ran into the SV27 at the hobby store and bought it. The rest is history....

thats really too bad to hear. in my humble worthless opinion the SV27 was huge for the hobby. not only the whole brushless aspect, but it was a fast (well fastER than all the brushed boats i had) it was the first RTR boat i bought and the price was affordable for many friends to join the hobby. i think at one point i bought and sold 5 or 6 SV27's to newbie friends who were just getting into the hobby. that boat taught me so much about "tuning", i remember 4 of us running the same batts and props in our SV's and trying to tweak the hell out of the strut, prop, and turn fins to get the most out of it. even fiberglass repair, after months of abuse and countless laps of "rubbing" my SV finally suffered thru the hull damage so i promptly converted it to self righting(which works most of the time). even though the last several boats i have purchased have all been RTR, blackjack, Motley Crue, TFL outerlimits, Venom, the boats i BUILT which are 10-20ish yrs old (BBY oval master, micro patriot, renegade rigger, and the Queen Delta Force 29) all sit on the TOP SHELF in my shed. thank you Aquacraft, Grim, and the rest of the fine people that worked to bring us the great products that made me a better hobbyist!OPP Racing "Other Peoples Parts!"
