    In formula 1, they call the off season when rumors roam large as "the funny season". Somehow, right now feels like the funny season for aquacraft...

      I know Doby was just posting his daydreams, but I'd love to see AquaCraft Revolt 33 RxR: A 33-inch hull with Revolt-like styling fitted with an appropriate 6S ESC and a bigger, lower-Kv motor would be an instant purchase for me.

                So, is there any new news on this? It seems like the Revolt 30 was well regarded and sold well. I have a hard time imagining AquaCraft has discontinued it without plans for a new/revised model. Perhaps there will be very light revision, with new decals or some such.

                  Actually, anything 33 to 36 inches or so and designed to run 6S would be great to see.

                    Or you could just build a DF33 or a Cyberstorm and the hull will last for years compared to a few seasons.

                    Maybe AQ will come out with a decent hydroplane or cat, lol... I'm yankin' yer chain guys...

                      Yeah, I'm actually planning to build a 36-inch Ariane hull, but the performance/price ratio was so good on my Revolt 30 that I'd like to see what AQ would do in a 33- to 36-inch size.

                        The Revolt 30 has been removed from Aquacraft's web site. (It was there recently, even after Tower was saying it was discontinued.) It seems from the outside like the Revolt was a successful model; when I was researching 30-inch-ish monos, every every thread I found at OSE and elsewhere recommended the Revolt. I can only assume a new version is in the works.

                              Maybe I won't be getting a FE boat this season.

                              I'm curious as well to see if and what replaces the Revolt 30.

                              Just made my decision tougher, tougher meaning a waiting game.

                                It seems that AQ is probably going to lose some sales (to ProBoat in particular) while they don't have a 30-inch mono on the market.
