rio review
Just got down reading the official review for the new rio51 boat sounds like a real winner aside from the header cracking, I was wondering if anyone knows when aq is going to have the header issue fixed and also if its going to be fixed on the newer models or if its going to be a do it your self fix. thanks for any help i'm looking to get more into the gas boating hobby with the purchase of only my second gas boat, n this one looks alot like my style in a rtr, but i have been reading the forums about peoples header and exhaust issues and was looking for some more input on how its working out for the others.... and thanks again

RE: rio review
Just change the header to aluminum or change the whole exhaust. I run a modded whh zen in mine and she doing very well. I was or wanted to just run the stock system but evntually you will want to faster so WHH has good deals and dependable motors, @ 2.9 hp and 48 mph is darn good. People will differ in what a stock zen can do so call Tony @ whh and he can give you the low down on hp.

RE: rio review
i'm in dallas, i'm sure i would eventually switch the motor out but like i said i'm no expert at gas boats so the fuji would have to last awhile to say the least
