This is my second Volantex Atomic, and I also own two SR48s, quite frankly for the money, I honestly don't think you'll find a better designed, better constructed, better running boat out of the box. The one piece hull design goes along way to avoiding leaks, the hatches seal perfectly, and the mounting points for the rudder, strut and stabilizers are all sealed as well. I especially like the flex shaft design, doesn;t throw all the grease out like other boats I've had.
The only concerning thing is the US warehouse wants to ship these boats in nothing but the retail box, not even a bag. The first one arrived banged up but salvageable, this arrived in much better shape, but had I not been there to get it, it would have sat on my steps all day advertising itself to thieves.
Come on Banggood, you can do better.
On the other hand, you'll love this boat. Just keep in mind, it's not a self righting V hull, in stock form it's fairly stable, you can still flip it though. It will float, but you'll be swimming to retrieve it or praying to wind gods to blow your baby home.
