Kyosho FMR 21V-SII

Hi i wanted to buy a new nitro boat and as I am a fanatic of Kyosho, I found this boat-http://www.kyosho.co.jp/web/products/boats_yacht/racing_boat/racing_boat/fmr21v_s2/fmr21v_s2-e.html
I am planning to put an os engine int it, the VZ-M... Any comments on this boat or its previous model? What do you think about that engine?

A friend of mine did a little R&D work on that boat while he was working in Japan as a school teacher. He got hired to work for them part-time after he was seen running his boats outside of Kyosho's headquarters.
It is a fast, great handling boat but to me the price tag is a little high for what you get for the money. He recommended putting a better rudder on the boat, perhaps a Speedmaster.
The boat was made for OS engines so it would be a natural setup.
