A few questions

A36Limited, to keep an SV 27 from flipping so much youd have to buy a left turn fin,which does not come factory instaled. Not to mention you d also need a small black rubber cover for the hatch which is not included either. The last one is to stop huge amounts of water from getting inside by the hatch after a flip.

I'd really like a BJ26, but it seems as if it has so many design flaws out of the box that I'm hesitant on getting one if I decide to go that route. I'm sure I'm annoying, and I apologize, I just want to get the most out of my investment.

On that point, I'm more interested in the BJ26 then the other boats I've mentioned. I've been surfing the site, and seeing different set-ups, but I can't find the website of the company that makes those parts. I like being able to corner, and throwing waves out sideways and such, like maneuvering around buoys and other obstacles. What's the best set up for getting the BJ26 to do this, or close to it? I'd just like some recommendations and prices mostly, since you guys are the experts with these things.

Hex- I've been to their sites, and all the distributors. For a while, I was thinking it was flawless, till I started looking at these websites, and I learned that it's not as good handling as their claims. I'm looking more for what the favorite set-ups are for cornering. You folks are fast at responding. Lol

Chiro- that lead me right to their page, thanks.

Chiro is right the fullers is great . My strut/rudder system is from Twisted Liquid Racing or Twisted-Networks now. Its a good system ,but I dont recomend anyone making deals with Twisted,because they have this weird method of sending packages and giving out excuses... Hummm,TLR ...just not recomended . Their BJ 26 hardware is great in quality also.

Get Fullers Hardwear. Aero Marine Is Nice But You Have To Drill New Holes Into The Boat. Look At My Thread And Youll See What I Have To Do If You Get Aero Marine But You Are Better Off With Fullers. And The Bl Bj Doesnt Have That Great Of Tunring To The Left Going Fast. The Left Sponson Flies Out Of The Water If You Go To Fast And Sometimes It Will Flip...

I'm getting closer to a decision. I have a feeling I'll get the BJ26, run it for a while, then once my funds are refreshed, start upgrading it. It appears to me that putting the mid-set rudder on it and lowering the batteries helps quite a bit. Would there be anything else to make it better handling?

take out all the unneccesary sdtuff battery box and tupperwear bowl

Hi. I have a BJ26 too. Its a fun boat, but not a race boat. If you are not in a hurry to get one. Wait till Oct, and get a FE Pro Boat Miss Elam . The hardware on ME seems better than the BJ26. Take a look

Tony- that looks pretty cool, but I'm not really into hydros. My Dad had one, and while it wasn't brushless, I really wasn't all that impressed with it. He bough it to out-do my Villain, but due to reliability issues, I was always having to push him back to shore. And I'm not getting it as a race boat, just something I can have some fun with.
