Kyosho received a very small number of new Seawind RTRs. They are all spoken for. I am advised they are expecting a "stock" order to arrive mid March that should be a more realistic quantiy. They are posted on their website
http://www.kyoshoamerica.com/SEAWIND...T_p_22749.html for $357.99 plus shipping and any applicable sales tax. That seems reasonable considering what they used to get for their kit versions. These are terrific all around boats and have stood the test of time. Lots of clubs race them and many are still used simiply as recreational sailors. A good choice for new comers and senior sailors alike.
As of today their website states "not for sale" or not available. I was told someone has listed them on E-bay for $599.00. Maybe that guy got the first shippment? Don't think I'd pay that much for one.
