RE: Fountain rc Boat
If you do a search on ebay for fountain rc boat ,you get a seller that has a 35" electric version of the almost identical boat.They also have a few more other hulls.One thing I do wish is that companys like proboat and aquacraft would and the others would offer boats that look like the venom kos in reguards to decals of sponcers and so fourth.Most boats have crazy graphics that look like hotwheels paint jobs. The reason the king of shaves sold is it great looks.It is good to see hulls with the sponcer type badging.I think if they did that to the rio 51 and offered different liverys of race teams , that would be great.

RE: Fountain rc Boat
Indeed it is a great looking hull. Nothing about the hardware or powerplant is very inspirational. But I have similar hulls from MHZ and they cost more than that one RTR so it is not all bad.
I would recommend waiting rather than ordering one from Australia - a boat with internals like that is coming out of China - not Australia. I am sure they will turn up on closer shores and you would be kicking yourself for paying the $3-500 in shipping one from Australia.

The hull looks good but as said it does look like so many other China boats as regards motor and hardware.I dont like the windscreen its going to let in too much air and water in my opinion.
