Thanks Martin, I wasn't doubting you but since the Mk2 has a new hull design I wasn't sure if they kept everything else the same. Actually can you tell from Ebay link of the bottom of the hull if it looks much different from yours?

I'm assuming you had the first revision or did you have the 2nd one?
Thanks.
I believe the hull bottoms are the same, ive looked at the mk2 boats & they appear identical on the bottom. The big diff is in the deck & hatch, the deck slopes up much higher putting the modified hatch higher still. Also the rear of the hatch now sits in the recease rather than going to the back of the hull, they have also made access appature longer at the front making getting the battery easier to get in & do the velcro straps easier. I believe the higher deck & higher hatch is to make self righting better.
OK, makes sense. I see EmpireRC now has all their Joysway line showing everything in stock (too bad they don't carry the Offshore Warrior). This is a good sign as they've been out of stock for months. I wonder if Steve will carry any Joysway.

If anyone knows of a US retailer that has the OSW, please post. Thanks.
I just noticed that your box is labelled 9301B, it really should be 9304. I'm wondering if other vendors really are selling the Mk2 under the old SKU#
Wish me luck, hopefully I'll get the Mk2:

Picture shows it's a Mk2.
Heres a link to Leadershobby picture shows first generation.

I took the plunge on one from ordersmax also. Shipping was $12.76 fedex to NY. We shall see. BTW Joysway does list the model number as 9301 for the warrior. Possibly the "B" represents the updated version.
No code. I didn't see the 50% but maybe it was included.
Mine was also $12 shipping. 9304 is definately the Mk2 code and 9301 is the original SKU. Banggood has the pictures for the old version so I really hope that since it's supposedly coming directly from Joysway, it will be the Mk2 version.
On their site at the top left it says 50% off shipping for new customers, re the B on the code this represents the colour ie B is black R is red Y is yellow. Also did anyone have to pay customs getting it from Ordermax. It may be the case that they allready have boxes with the old code on that they are using up but have the mk2 boats in them.
My PayPal was only charged 169.xx shipped. Rabosi, you know this comes without radio or batteries right?
I hope Joysway's new US distributor isn't a place like HobbyTown. Bill, can you clue us into who the major distributor is going to be? EmpireRC?
I chose black, I bet transparent is their interpretation of 'random' I'm going by the price and the comparison to the ebay one from Canada which doesn't come with radio.
If you look at the products that come with a radio, there is a seperate picture of the TX itself. Als consider the Super Mono X is the same price as the Warrior (well actually a little more)..........Warrior should be much more expensive if it came with a radio.
I was just going by Joysway's website. They have the updated boat picture with 9301 model #. http://www.joysway-hobby.com/Product_show.asp?proid=472
Sorry to hear that, what happened to them? Anything else salvageable?
Don't want to hijack this thread. I will post on your thread at rcgroups when I get a chance. Kind of a long story too.
NP rabosi.......I just got my tracking# Shows estimated delivery date as Sept 5th................from China?!?! If it actually arrives on Tuesday I'll sh!t bricks.
Can't beat that for the price if it arrives that quickly. I guess mine should be sometime next week too.
I've never gotten anything from China this fast:
Left FedEx origin facility GUANGZHOU CN Aug 29, 2012
Sep 1, 2012 6:24 AM At destination sort facility ORLANDO
Sounds good.
