One issue was the factory shucking an XR during prop testing before it was delivered to Mental! Lol!. Otherwise other than taking a bit of patience to get the boat on plane it ran fine. Once you got the boat to roll over you had to be quick on the sticks to back off or it would feel like it was shot out of a cannon.

Ha ha. Forgot about that. Wayne always claimed that was a bad drive. I figured since it happened in the first hour or 2, and Wayne is dam good on throttles, it probably had something to do with the drive. And then Hilltop Marine shucked a drive in a poker run within 5 hours after I traded it. I'm thinking I was just lucky that I never had a drive issue. Then again, if you just firewalled it out of the hole, those XRs were going to be short lived. If I would have kept it the drives would have been the first upgrade.

There's one at LOTO sitting at a house in PCB/Redhead cove. I've never seen it out. Think it is red and black. Thing is always covered.

Default Sunsation F4

The Green F4 was sold for $220k. and I sent it to Texas.. Had fresh motors and drives, paint was flawless and new trailer.. Sorry dreamers $199 Canadian just isnt reality for a complete refit F4
I also have the 2008 F4 that was in Europe .. Its getting new Interior/ Fresh rebuilds to 700 sci Specs and New paint.. This one is also sold to another client who is going to keep it as a “spare” as he already has a 2011 F4 I sold him
