'I can't believe how many people are falling for the looks of the boats and not looking hard at the quality(or more to the point, lack there of)' HARD TO BEAT ZENOHA ENGINES FOR BOATS OR PLANES. THEY ARE ON THE BOAT ON THE WAY OVER AS WE SPEAK, SHOULD BE A FEW WEEKS. I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THE DO. I KNOW THAT I WILL BE SELLING THE MISS ELAM AT A UPCOMING SWAP AND GETTING ONE OF THESE. THE RADIO BOX IS BETTER WITH BOLTS AND A SILICONE SEAL INSTEAD OF TAPING DOWN THE PLASTIC COVER. THE FIBERGLASS LOOKS VERY THICK AND THE WATER PUMP AND TUNED PIPE LOOK GOOD. THE PROBOAT GUY SAID YOU CAN MOVE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY DOWN WITH VERY LITTLE WORK. ONE THING THAT YOU SAID THAT MAKES SENSE IS ABOUT HOW MUCH RUDDER IS IN THE WATER. IT HAS TWO SERVOS DRIVING THE RUDDERS ALL METAL HARDWARE BACK THERE AND UNLESS YOU GUYS ARE JUMPING STUMPS I DONT SEE IT BREAKING. THIS BLACK JACK IN MY OPION LOOKS BETTER MECHANICALLY.
I HAD THE SHOCKWAVE 55 FOR A WHILE AND HAD SOME FUN WITH IT. NOT A PRO RC BOATER BY ANY MEANS, MORE OF A PLANE GUY, BUT I WAS A THE HOBBY EXPO IN CHICAGO TODAY AND SAW THE BLACK JACK 55.
