000_0273.JPGAlamo710 viewsI brought this boat from Astec and am very pleased with the way it looks and performs. It is fast and stable running on BB turbo and 12 cells but think it will handle more power. This get a lot of attention from others when on the water. Would highly recommend if you enjoy fast electrics. Next project is to upgrade to 14 cells to see how it performs. mike collier
