I like your moves, man!
Mmmmmmm... a Zen! Nice move!
I've got a few hours on my test boat. It's an absolute blast.
There are a bunch of features that are just very cool.
Captured square drive cable.
Really effective shaft oiler.
Pulley and starter belt for those who want to use an electric starter.
2.4g radio that works great.
Fun to drive, tons of run time and great handling.
There's room for a pipe if you want to upgrade, but the canister is dead reliable and zero maintinance.
Snowman driving a gasser, scary huh?

Anyone care to guess what the brand new Zenoah worth if I take it out of the boat and sell it on ebay?

My Rio's a great looking (the scale looks and sheer size of it are always a crowd pleaser) and running boat , ,,,but you have to drive it like a SV on steroids.
In a straight line, be it calm or rough water it takes about anything you throw at it, but it needs a gentle hand when cornering if there's some chop.
Its held up very well under the stresses of 10S and a HUGE brushless motor. (all hardware is stock)

Another general comment about the boat;
As mine never had the gas motor in it,,,I can't comment on the issues there were with the old Fugi motor,,but the hull and stock hardware are top notch for the price,,,an yes, even though I did snap a few of the shafts,,its not AQ's fault....I'm putting more power in that boat than it was probably ever intended for.
Looking forward to having it in my fleet as long as I can still carry it to the pond.

It was never designed for 10 HP!.. to think that its hanging in there with 10S stuffed in it.. O YEA
Grim
any word on when we can see a vid of the new package,you have peaked my curiousity.....
I saw the new Rio 51 gas boat run today. The owner of the LHS got the Rio in today, & brought right to the lake. It started right up & ran great with no adjustments made to anything thing. It was very stable in all directions . But the stock steering servo craped out after 1 1/2 tanks.
how quick did you think it was? i saw a vid where Grim said it would do over 40.the Hypersport 48 will only do approx 35 with the same engine,yet its 9 inches shorter.anyone have any thoughts? just curious as im considering one or the other.thx
