It looks like a nice hull and so far proboat has good hulls but its a little small would be in the same range as a miss bud, in my opinion. It wont compeat with the tc31 by far, but from the setup it has it might give the miss bud a run for the money also whats the deal with the turn fins on a cat hull and the outdrive is nonadjustable I figured proboat would have figured that out by now?
On a scale of 1-5
Hull 4, to date the lay-up is good and sturdy in all boats ive seen from proboat, also thisone looks to have a little extra room to work on things (and engine swaps)
engine 3.5, dynamite has good for the price engines
hardware 1, plastic or composit and non adjustable
radio box 3, hay what can i say here, at least its not like the miss bud radio box
prop -1, lol hit anything and its toast
turn fins-??? still not sure on this one
drive shaft 2, looks to be a weak point with the joint
tigerdrive 2.5, easy to use easy to go wrong
radio 3.5, for an AM radio its good
over-all I would rank this with the miss bud at a total of 3.5
remember this is just my opinion with what information I have so far

I disagree with toyotatruckin on the strength of the Pro Boat hulls. Every one I've seen has been as brittle and thin as an egg shell. With FM radios so inexpensive, why did Horizon use an AM system? Everything about this boat to me yells CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't waste you money
