    I REALY hope a new version of the boat comes out early summer.. with the ever trusty Tactic radio and new better motor and cool black hardware and port side turn fin and new water jacket on the ESC.. maybe even a nice little tow hook on the front would be nice..... that would be cool.....

    Hum.. discontinued.. how about that...

        Aww Jeepers , you don't remember mine ? You don't remember me beating your Neu powered what ? Dark Horse mono. LOL I'll have Rod remind you :-) ( your not that easy to get the start on now )
        There wasn't a class then . But they started P spec racing . I even had one with a brushed 700 in it for LSO .

          Love it or hate it,,,one thing you can't deny is that the SV is the "VW Beetle" of FE boating, ,,,,,well priced, good performance and it caught on quickly .....makes you wonder if FE would have been as popular as it is if it never existed.

          I have had several and my last one still gets run regularly.

          Might even get a new one when they come out.....I'll always have at least one in my fleet.

            And there you go , right from the MAN himself ! I am sure if Auquacraft can bring it out at the same price point or close too the original it will be a big hit also .

            Too bad I already have an SV27 with an Ammo 2600Kv motor and a Sorwdfish 120 amp ESC in it turning a Grim Racer 42-55 balanced and sharpened prop . Yeah , its fast

                Got any vid or gps readings? I would too see how it handels. I like ul power in my SV (click link in signature) I run 45-47 all day with a little negative trim on the tabs.

                  A new better motor? That could be interesting. Not that the original 6 pole was junk. Maybe a new spec class is a coming?

                    So, what does early summer mean for all of us that are itching to buy the new one? Hopefully soon!

                      my guess is the new motor that is coming in the new Cat!
                      but the UL-1 motor would rock to

                        Typical GP...discontinue something without its replacement ready to roll...no wonder they play second fiddle to Horizon in nearly every aspect of the hobby industry. Although I think they rule the boat side...makes me think they would want to keep that up.

                          they need to get rid of the old, wait a few months then bring in the new!

                            I'd prob imagine the new one is close to ready to roll, like bl55 said, you have to let the old sv stock pile diminish first before introducing the new one. If they would release it now it would drive the old sv price down very low and sales for the old might out rise the new. When it comes to boats let AQ do their thing, because it's im sure its going to be a great product.
