like my first post said, "no lipo cut off? the hook on the front- if i'm throwing a line at my boat 9 times out of 10 its up side down although cosmetically i like it, the left fin i would probably just take off anyways, the black anodized is sick, 2.4 ghz is pretty much the standard now so they were forced to. If the motor and esc are as reliable as my first gen sv was then they should be sweet, i have blown 2 sv esc's but i was pushing them pretty hard. If i were still new to fe boats this would probably still be the boat i would choose because it still offers great value when compared to the rest of the market. i thrash my sv hard and often and she is still going, there has been some tlc along the way. If i get another boat i think i either want a cat or a larger mono but my real focus is to get into the 1:1 scale so i wouldn't be buying it even if it had lipo cut off and cost 200.

yes everything i said was pretty much based on assumptions, and if they could make the boat for $5 and get people to pay 329 well then that is awesome for them and still good for the consumer cause that is the same price range other boats of this caliber are going for. i can sell a glass door for 495 or more when it cost me 155 to get it and a half hour to install. it's called business. Why would they make and sell a boat if there was no profit involved?
Over all the boat looks sweet, it's set up how a lot of the sport runners like it and it is at a fair price, only actual complaint is no lipo protection.
