    Default Pro Boat Development Testing New Boat This Morning

    Weather was great this morning so I got out to do some official development testing for the next big Pro Boat offering. Ran 4 sets of packs through her, and was able to record lots of real, continuous Eagletree GPS data! Ran excellent and will blow the top off the RC Boating world!

    Too bad I couldn't have gotten a better photographer or I could have shared a spy shot pic with you all...

    Darin swore me to secrecy, but I can't help myself. Here is the "spy shot" he sent me this afternoon!

    You're all completely wrong. The GPS data clearly shows that this is a self righting cat that can maintain 15mph while upside down.

    A close second possibility is a WWII Wisconsin Duck, GPS data indicating it can transition from land to water about 20 times per run.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a hovercraft from Pro Boat. That would be REALLY cool.

    I always liked the Tyco Typhoon II hovercrafts but never had one or know anyone who did.

    I guess a rubber band boat is cool too. How many turns of the rubber band is it capable of?

    6S or 4S rubber bands? The manual will say it can run on 6, but it will be more reliable on 4.

    Twins are all the rage these days. I've yet to be beaten by a twin hamster setup though.

    No... I smell a 48" + DEEPVEE. Something like the old Shockwave 55, but brushless power!

    They mentioned earlier in the discussion of the impluse 31 being discontinued thread that there was no replacement for it. I like the thought of a big deep vee tho too
