Figured i'd post the 4 main vessels in the fleet at the moment
Proboat Recoil
Runs a 2200mah 25c(I believe) 3s because 5 minute run times are a bummer, other than that I was happy with it. Handles excellent with the factory battery pack, and the self righting feature is awesome. Only problems I've had is one of the leads going into the esc to battery connector popped out so I have to be extra sure its plugged in tight until I replace the plug.
Proboat Shockwave V3 Brushless
Runs on a 5000mah 50c 3s, has an upgraded prop of unknown origin. Runs okay, its a bit slow even on 3s but its fairly stable. The steering leaves alot to be desired but im tempted to thrown a slightly longer rudder on to see if that gets me a bit more leverage. Seemed to do okay with the gopro mounted on it if I didnt try to whip the rear end around on turns lol
Proboat Miss Geico 24
Picked this and the Blackjack up for $180 used, the Geico has an offset rudder setup, and the secondary cover has been modded to allow a brushless motor. Supposedly it was gonna be set up for a Piano wire mod but have no clue what that all entails for the prop shaft (if theres any info please link me up!). Tempted to run the motor from the Blackjack in there once I figure out the prop shaft deal.
Proboat Blackjack 26
Not the greatest picture of it but the dude who owned it before me was stripping it down to do fg repairs and a paint job. Right now I have my buddy who does autobody fix the cracks in the transom and into the sponsons. Hopefully it is salvageable and not throwing off the balance of the boat too much. It was water tight before but you could see it was hap-hazardly fixed in person. Mind the mess lol
I also have a Kyosho Viper but it is a bit of a junker and too far gone for what the parts cost. It needs a new prop shaft, rudder assembly (currently made from balsa and resin and only turns to the right its so far out of whack), motor, and the top hatch seems to be packed away somewhere.
