new boat over the winter

[emspjay]

Never expected that there so many FE boaters is Mi. that are not more involved on this site. Lake St. Clair is the capital boat area of the world (at least it used to be) more boats per capita than anywhere else in the world. Thought there would be more FE'rs on here.

Maybe/hopefully we all could get together sometime next year after the hard water (had some snow coming down the other day already) is gone and run some boats and get to know one other, share incites and whatever in person.

That would be a great time! I'm on Lake St. Clair in the canal sub behind Mac Ray marina. I run my boats on the canal except for the Recoil I take out to the lake with me on the 1:1 boat. I did a search on boat clubs awhile ago and I think the main one around here runs at a lake in Shelby Township (not far from me) but with work and everything else in life I have just been running at home for now. But I would be in for a big get together next year!

I was actually thinking of trying to start some kind of a boat rc club using my pond. but not sure if I could get it going...because I know some people cant find a place to run their boats.

ok guys been looking at some boats and I'm just thinking about for the amount of money I'm willing to spend I'm kinda leaning towards the Aqua craft Revolt...anyone have any comments on that boat...positive or negative...let me know...I just found out this boat has been discontinued..guess that ones out...

We have 8 or 9 Revolts in our club and more being added now that they seem to be available again. It’s been the biggest growing class the last couple years giving the nitro guys an introduction to electric. It’s always a fun class.

I just received a Sonicwake 36 in black and green ordered from my local hobby store.

This boat is absolutely gorgeous, well designed and carefully crafted plus there is virtually nothing you need to do to it except install the batteries and sharpen the prop which was well balanced right out of the box.

The two big pluses that made me pull the trigger on this bad boy were the self righting feature and soon a ton of replacement parts will be available if you break something.

Some will say it's a toy because of the ABS plastic hull but this boat has some real heft to it and looks plenty thick enough to withstand some rough water abuse without issues.

I'll be running mine on 4s and upgrade the prop to an Octura M445.

The Revolt 30 is also a really nice boat. I started my foray into FE boating with a silver one and it's still going strong four seasons later. I liked it so much I now have two more a red and blue one.

There is really not much you need to do to the Revolt but I would suggest upgrading the drive shaft, sharpen and balance the prop and make sure it passes the bathtub test before you run it.
