but the few extra dollars this one is better. http://69.49.183.35/ProductDetails.a...ctCode=TeamPro
the aquacraft is about 700 dollars + it's slow and not made very well, so to make the aquacraft as
good as the WHH boat you will spend more dollars. your choice .
I owned a WHH Man-O-War it's very good boat and I have helped out a few guy's that owned the V24
I would NOT buy that boat ! Just my opinion but, I think the Aquacraft V24 is JUNK !
I have not seen the RIO 51 in person yet, but I know it has that same JUNK engine, so I would have to say
the rest of the RIO 51 must be like the V24. I could be wrong about the RIO 51
I'm sure most people on this site will agree with me that WHH is a better boat !
This is Just my opinion, so to all that reads this post, please don't get upset !

Agree and disagree with your statement. Had a Gator myself, great boat. Also have a Rio. Agree: Junk engine setup. Disagree: Quality of the hull, slow.. This hull is one of the better I've seen in a boat. Has a fantastic paint job and is built very solid. The Rio is also much faster on the water than the V24. If you have to choose between the two (V24 or Rio), I'd go with the Rio. Personally had I known about the troubles with my Rio, I definately would have went for a Warehouse Hobbies boat. Definately would have been better off. Just my $.02

RE: Rio 51 or v24 one design
i just bought a rio 51 and since your in europe i would stay away. it showed up with a bent shaft not from shipping damage. so got that replaced the ran it for the first time on the bench sat and it has a bad fuel tank. the people are having problems with the header also. i only live about 15 miles from the service center so replacement parts show up fast. i bought the boat because i liked the way it looked even though i read about the problems. i know when i order parts for my largescale cars from europe it take about 2 weeks.

RE: Rio 51 or v24 one design
I bought the rio 51 and like. it has some little problems but there customer service is always their to help you out.still have my oringal header and engine.I as far as its slow I think this think moves out pretty good.I got the 3 blade prop on mine and it takes off like a rocket.I two would have bought a warehouse hobbies if I read all these negative post first.But I think as far as looks go this think looks great.I didn't care for the looks from whh lower cost boats
