    Do you know if the rudder is stainless? I was looking at pictures on the proboat site and it looks stainless on the black jack and plastic on the miss geico. Unless they upgraded them with the v3.

      V3 hardware is black anodized aluminum, on the Geico, Blackjack, and Impulse 31 for that matter. The website picture is incorrect.

          That's what I figured.

            Bit the bullet and bought a Miss Geico before I can't find one!

              Fun boat, you're going to enjoy it. Re-plumb the cooling lines first thing: Rudder, ESC in, ESC loop, ESC out, motor lower in, motor upper out, and then out the side of the boat. I also don't like the red grease that comes in the stuffing tube, too thick. I would clean that out and use the blue Proboat stuff after each run.

                Thanks for the plumbing advice. I have plenty blue grease. That's what I did with my stelathwake.
