Great boat, needed to add some ballast, would have liked if there was better access to the rudders, to grease the shafts, runs great, boat has nice detail, packaging was great, one part of the mast was broke but a little CA glue fixed that.

the boat is very well made. When looking at the construction material it becomes clear that some thought went into this boat. Glass hull, real wood decking, steel hand rails. twin screws. just a great job.

This has a fiberglass hull, real wood decking and attention to detail. Don’t think you’re going to find a better boat for the money. Motion RC’s packing is above the standard in the hobby market.

Compare photos with web page and with Dave H. review dated 9-23-20. The 2022 version I just received is different as follows:No aft hatch to access rudder control arms. It will be hard to remove shaft to grease.No stuffing tube to grease prop shaft.No integrated forms for motor or servo mounts. Doesn’t look as neat.No cross beam support.Bridge aft rail extends past centerline, so mast boom must remain above rail in a more upright position.It runs and looks very nice on our pond.
