Original Rio 51
I keep hearing a mixture of good and bad about the original RIO 51. Did it come with a clutch? I would like to hear the pro's and con's on the boat. Is the radio any good? Also is there a way to retrieve a boat from a lake beside having a real boat to do that?
Thanks in advance.

I love my Rio!
The Fuji engines did not come with cluttches nor can you put clutches onto it without having to modify a few things.
The radio it came with is sufficient but its just that -sufficient.
I would not attempt that unless you are a licensed diver with a buddy who is licensed as well +a boat on the water.</p>

Depends on how big the lake is and how far out you are if the boat dies. I've been to some lakes where all you need is a fishing pole with a tennis ball attached to it, I think most will agree that access to a boat with a buddy is best.
