[RIPFENCE]

since when do plastic boats got for that much lol

its more than just plastic...lol..its 50mph out of the box!!! because you could never build a boat that could do that for 800.00...morons

[natenkw]

I made him an offer"$10.00"

[forescott]

Nothing like taking advantage of someone for the holidays!

LOL! It's not 50 mph out of the box! It's 30, Only goes 50 with the OPTIONAL 6s setup!
"The howling fury of 50+ mph across the water on optional 6S LiPo power will make even the most insatiable, power-hungry enthusiasts jump up and take notice."

Thats straight out of the traxxas web sites. I have no idea what the excitement over a 30 mph boat is, it comes with a couple of 7 cell Ni-Mh batteries, not even Li-Po! The SV at least comes set up for lipos with a good 4s setup and spanks 30mph out of the box.
I think a lot of people are going to be very disappointed with what they actually receive, especially when you measure your speed in real mph not advertiser mph! And also realize they have to upgrade right out of the box to get they performance they hype up in their ads.
After all the waiting I really do hope it's a good boat, based on what I've seen in the ads I wouldn't buy one, don't like that one piece motor mount stuffing tube setup. And it's plastic! One good hit and see how it looks!
I also love how they hype the rooster tail! LOL who gives a damn about that! Sounds like a bad setup to me!

[roadrashracing]

It's like anything else that cannot be found especially around Xmas time. Only a few have shipped so far and this guy is trying to make a quick buck. I have seen iPhones sell for $1500 when they were in great demand. Heck if I got the 2 I ordered today at $309 delivered each I would put the on ebay for $550 buy it now and I bet you they would sell. I really have no use for it until late April at best when the snow is gone. Remember "tickle me Elmo" people were fighting over this dumb toy at Xmas time. They also sold for rediculous amounts just before Xmas on ebay.

Just checked that listing. I went to ebay "completed listings" found two. One $399.99 and the other $419.99. Neither sold. Check that same listing after Christmas. I bet it will be 1/2 price or less. Horizon Hobby has them for $403.99 out of stock now...can't run it now any way ponds frozen. Wait a minute, you can run them now. The Germans showed us how its done!

[antslake]

There is a reason for listing things that high, I forgot why. People do that all the time. Or he is just trying to make a buck right before x-mas. The day after it will go to the normal price. Good business man, thats all.
You could have his ad removed for false advertising, since it does not do 50mph out of the box, as we all know.
