    MHZ OR H&M are your best options

    If you really want the Zonda, buy the full carbon version (the New Zonda from DYmotorshop) and reinforce it.

    It depends on how hard you push it.

    H&M are very popular across the pond. The one I mentioned in post #5 has a current speed record of 147.86 mph.

    Most hulls are 2 layers ( carbon or glass). Every boat out there is is built in 2 pieces leaving the seem vulnerable to cracking. Any boat flipped at any significant speed that lands wrong will split or crack.

    I agree with that! I got the white/blue fiberglass/kevlar Zonda and had a blow over on the first run. I expected it to be cracked or split but I got VERY lucky and no damage. I have run it a few more times and no more blow overs or any damage that I can see forming.

    Paint is great! I had a Genesis first that I got from a U.S. Ebay seller and had no problems with the paint and using hatch tape. I got my blue/white Zonda from here OSE store, and I have had no problems with paint and using hatch tape. And I no longer use the thin hatch tape that most hobby stores sell, I use the wider "hockey tape" that I think has more tackiness than the thin hatch tape.

    The decals come right off on the blue and white one I had. Used the boat twice. Decals came off with the hatch tape and had a crack in the side of the hull. Crap.
