Default straight answer on the 48

so how good is the 48?

how much does it really weigh?

have heard some issues about tanks and stringers

how many of them are out there, never seen any footage of one running
interested in getting one as it seems to be the right track, big, cat and eats rough water [from research]

i also see that it is not fast which is ok but it needs a lot of power not ok

feedback would be good
