so i have just got into the rc gas boat scene and wanted to share my experience with this cheap brand boat as a first boat. its the 51" exceed deep vee with a clutchless 26cc. i will have to say with very little knowledge online about this boat other than its junk/waist of money comments. so im gonna give my take.

first day drop off. i unpacked the boat out the box and all i had to was add the rx and program it to the tx. after that i got online and researched what to do before a run. so i greased the flex cable and i checked all screws to be tight except for one. the rudder clamp for the servo rod was stripped out so i have another boat that i bought at the same time and robbed the same part off it.

today was the first start up and man i was stoked when it fired up. i tuned up the jets and and set the idle and ran it for a few minutes. the only issue here i had was the throttle linkage was hitting itself so i had to change the way they ran the links because it would not idle down enough.

all and all i have 530 bucks in the boat and only had to make a few adjustments to make it run right. the hull feels real good and balanced to me but what do i know. the lower half of the boat feels nice and strong with a thick bottom. the top of the boat on the other hand does feel alittle thin for my liking. it has turn locks on the back and the radio box is very neatly setup with plenty of room.

so please let me know what yall think and anything i need to look for as i go along. also i hope to put the boat in the water tomorrow morning so i will have vids of it running in water.

Looks like a OK hull
Kinda hard to respond as you didn't show the inside or show any hardware/ No transom pic. You may get a few comments.

Looking good.
But what is that big red and black gizmo on top of the boat for?

Cheers!
Woodie

sorry it was dark when i posted this ill have more later

woodie its a small cage fan. i was using it to keep the temps down while running it. i didnt want to overheat it on the first day.

so today was a big learning lesson. this thing is a handful all by yourself for the first time out. i did alot of fishing for the boat cause it stalled. the runs really good though, its alot faster than expected prob 35 to 45mph but the pond i was running in was not very big so i was having to hold it back alot. the solder joint on the flex cable broke cause i let it touch the bottom. i re brazed it and all good. thats all i really got to do today. i didnt get any video i had enough on my hands with the boat.

I like it better now. Did you adjust that strut to that angle? One should start the strut level with the bottom of the hull,launch the hull watch the ride attitude. bring in.Turn down one full turn, launch watch how it rides, bring in and so on.That's how you setup.If your setup that way then. You may need to add trim tabs. Or your pic just seems to look that angle.

thanks i had it level and i lowered it all the way down just to see what it will do. i had an idea of how it was gonna act but i just wanted to see. it will go back up. i hope soon to get it back out in the water to run it more. i had so much fun i cant stop thinking about it.

Yes go ahead and test. have fun

They got a post going down @ RCU about that hull. Not a good one.
