Sure its a decent boat for the money. I also like the Aquacraft EP that is in the same price range. As far as the SW26 goes. I like the fact that it is set up as a surface drive, but I don't like the steerable outdrive (strudder) if you are going to do a major motor and prop upgrade then it will have to be converted to a straight drive with seperate rudder. It would not be hard to do at all. But for the aquacraft, it would be much harder to convert to surface drive, some say it can't be done. I think the SW26 has more potential, and rides nice just the way its set up. Yes you could modify it some, but if you wanted a faster motor and upgrade prop then you will need a new esc and separate radio and receiver.

To run it stock you will still need a battery and charger.
