wow you had a sv27 and got rid of it? I would prefer the sv27 but the lack of funds at the moment caused me to get the sw26....I will continue with this boat though and build it up. Then im gonna buy a nitro supervee27 then later after i love the supervee27 i might sell the sw 26 brushless 12 cell just maybe.....i think i can get this boat in the 30mphs range. a supervee27 i think is around 32 stock. That is 12 cells and the same brushless system ill be putting in with 12 cells so i think it is possible
