    Im sad to say this... but this boat is a ripp off of proboat, and it sucks... I hate to flame, but this boat is garbage, when it came in, I was very unhappy.

    The fiberglass work was crap, and the paint was rough, it had a clear cloat on the top of the hull but not the bottom, not to mention the stickers were cleared into the hull...

    Ill not purchase another hull from them again.

      Have you ran this boat yet? IT may run really nice. Sucks about the shoddy glass and paint.

        I drove one of the FE prototypes for these boats and it was a ROCKET and handled great...

        Just goes to show you that it doesn't matter how good the design and idea is... if you can't implement it with some quality, it's just not going to cut it...

        Not legal for NAMBA as a Sport Hydro anyhow, so not really a big loss there, but too bad for the Sport Boaters that just wanted something cool...

          You get what you pay for. Some knockoffs are OK, most are not. Would you buy a knockoff Porcshe ?

            Nope, I knew It was just a remold design of the Proboat's hydro, but it still looked like a pretty good boat on there site, but 309.00 for the RTR when it comes with ripp off cheap Hong kong motors, and the esc thats only good for 3s...ugh yea cheap.

            Not to mention the water jacket that keep pulling out of the shrink around the esc...


            Darin,

            Yes I ran it 1 time before I started repainting the hull,

            Yes it was pretty quick on 4s with the UL-1 ESC and the cheap 2234 motor it came with, Id say 39-40mph. I swapped the prop as well.

            So the boat completly stock the way it comes RTR, maybe 38 ... maybe...

            The dude said in the Email's that it would see 45mph on a 3s lipo. haha If your dreaming.

            I just cant stand how they sprayed a clear coat over the stickers... and this stuff was thick too...

              The boat pic's on there site isn't what you get by no means!!

              They also said for 75.00 it could be painted in the T-Plus hydro scheme...

              Ill pass!!

                Sorry to hear about this Nate!

                I reposted this from a week or two ago, I had some rude emails from this guy directed at me and he was putting down and ripping on Aquacraft to sell his boat..

                I knew that thing had cheap electronics in it, but by the pictures it looks sweet..
