    Looks like a pretty nice boat!! I'm glad to see Proboat is getting away from their steerable outdrives!! Everything looks good! Only thing I'd probably change is the am radio.
    Might have to order the strut and rudder for my shockwave 26!

            Is that a new spec motor at 2900kv????

            $17 for the rudder?
            $9 strut and mount?

              Their Hardware is definitely getting better. A 3 cell might do the trick.

                I like it. I can't wait to see one @ the LHS, so I can see it in person.

                  That lil' gut looks like it handles a little bit of chop pretty darn good. Wonder if the esc's got a lvc.

                      The turn fins look like a problem, maybe angle them way in? Looks like a roll over at speed!

                          Can anyone with a better eye tell me if you can see the bottom enough.
                          I want to know if this has the flat spot ride pad like the SW26 & Fastech?

                              Doesnt look like there is a ride pad to me though the V appears to be shallow and the strakes run all the way to the transom.

                              I'd like to see some video of that boat running wide open on smooth water. Not to bash the product, but that video looked like my sons brushed subsurface Aquacraft Hammer running in the chop.

                              I don't know if the Nimh/Lipo switch is feature on other RTR's, but I think thats a great idea.
