What do you need to know? I had one. It's heavy but great in rough water. Let Mike build it as he built mine because I didn't want to mess it up. Wood kits I found out aren't my strong suit. I had the first version, they're on version 2 now with some subtle changes. There were complaints with tracking but mine ran straight and true.
Mike, you could drive one as it's not as intimidating as you'd think. Really, toss one together for yourself. It would be a nice showcase for that engine that Joe's about to roll out.
Mike, the bigger boat is more stabile than the .12's and .21's. I was surprised at how rough the water can be and go right through it. Really, you'd be more comfortable with it.
