Rc boating is more like the plane segment. Alot of guys like to buy bare hulls and build them up with a variety of parts. The sv and proboats offerings are good enty boats and will get quite a few people into FE. The sv seems to respond to mods better from what I have read, and bone stock it is more fun than a proboat blackjack 26...

well as usual I find myself reading quite a bit at rum runners and getting a bug for a boat...was looking at the sv27 and found this

Damn, that is fast. I may need to sell some stuff and buy that sucker! I do like the supervee, but the new esc in the hyodro is nice with the lvc for lipo. 64mph on 4s is pretty good, that hull design must be good. Where did you find that info? I would like to read it.

Linc I would link u too it but I'm pn my blackberry

Go to rum runners and do a search for that boat
.....its a real long thread

I would take the 65 mph with a grain of salt, it will become pretty unstable over 50mph, the hydros need very calm water, Aquacrafts Quality Control isnt the best it would be a good idea to completly go through the boat before it sees any water. The SV27s came with a 1800 kv motor,
