          Well I showed my son this boat last nite and he liked it! Pro boat gears their products towards kids, you would think that they would realize that the money in this FE boat field is in our hands and if they were to produce a better product the money would flow out of our pockets like water!

          Obviously they don't want to stick their heads out to far -- least they lose their jobs!

            I always say its best to email complaints to the manufacturer. Some will listen. If enough complain maybe they will listen more.

            I also think of ANY boat that runs 30 plus mph as a MAJOR plus to the hobby. Without these boats there would be far less clubs popping up all over the place.

            I will be carrying the boat when it comes out. No eta on arrival.

              "Pro boat gears their products towards kids"

              That's not a bad thing. Kids are the future of this hobby/sport. They need something fast also :). It may have lame paint or hardware but the bottom line is ProBoats trying. Can we say the same for Traxxas? Lets take some advice from the big guy and start laying some emails on these manufactures. You never know....

                You guys are right, Two companies. Two totally different directions? Aquacraft has a racing background. So they know whats happening in that area of the hobby.

                  Thanks Steven,
                  That's what I did. I would probably buy this if the paint colors/scheme weren't so....gaudy. But that's just my taste.

                            Not for nothing, but this is an actual boat:



                            The paint scheme is scale.

                            $360,000 to $600,000++ depending on options!!!!

                                Okay yeah it looks bad but for all the mono junkies like me its got a DEEP VEE,I mean look at that thing did you watch the vid its very stable great for chops and what not.I did say it looked small but the shockwave is just as long at 26 inch. Maybe some paint like yall say and if you need more power its upgradeable.Heck its starting to sink in to my skin
