Does anybody remember the Red Revo with 900's and 6 drives? I loved that boat!

Some of the inherant problems with the early Revolutions were weak decks that liked to flex causing stress crack. Also the bottoms under the engine rooms were week. many were repaired by adding extra supports (chicken feet) between the stringers.

Yikes I can honestly say that I hope that is something that we NEVER have to deal with! Thanks for the info though- that is good stuff to tuck away for reference! We love learning anything and everything that there is to know about our baby.

Thanks, The boat ran and handled the rough water great at smoke on the water. Last summer I ran the rev pretty hard and I checked it out last week. The only structure problems I have is the cabin liner break lose. And no stress cracks. I just got done rebuilding the engine hatch. Before it weighted 547lbs!!!! Now it weights (with out sun pad and rear seat) 194lbs. I also plan on pulling the floor tanks out and moving the water and wast tank back. Also I'm going to try to lighten up the cabin liner as much as possible.
