Same people who out put out the mini cat hydro. I would imagine Steven can get them.

Thanks for posting ..... But I have decided not to buy anymore ready to run boats!
After the fiasco with the BJ brushless & the moving delivery date I might just as well build my own! Then I can control when the thing is in my hands!!!!! Screw Proboat!

.........and ProBoat is the only manufacturer to have issues with delivery dates??
Castle is adveritising HV Hydras for sale on their web page for about 2 months,,but they don't have them yet (I called last week).

I'm sure ther are many more examples out there.

If you remove ProBoat and Aquacraft theres not to much left unless you go to a high end manufacturer ( Bonzi ,WWH etc) which not to many people can afford.
People can always buy the cheap E-Bay boats that they will be dissapointed with and probably drop the hobby alltogether.

Of course you can always build your own ,,,if you have the time and experience to do it. Not many first timers do.

Just think that Pro and Aqua did not exist, this hobby would not be experiencing the growth it has in the past several years.

Just think if the SV was never brough to the market,,,, that little boat alone did more for this hobby, and it had its growing pains as well.

If enough people keep complaining, then instead of a "screw Proboat",,,,it could turn into the large manufacturers saying "screw you" and get out of this totally.

I have had issues with both Manufacturers and always had good service from both.
