Is anyone else experiencing problems with the buoyancy of the GO? Mine sinks even in salt water, despite having all the lead removed.

I've got about 30 - 40 dives on mine and I've been happy so far. It's really easy to fly with (which was my primary motivation for buying it), and the foam case that it's shipped in fits almost perfectly in a Pelican Air 1637. The battery life is significantly better than my Blacktip with 9ah batteries and it's faster. The Seacraft would have about 2/3 battery when the Blacktip when into low battery mode. The fit and finish is also also much better than the Blacktip, and is comparable to my Suex XJ.Before I throw down my backorder money on a GO are there any more recent thoughts from folks out there? (I have watched the youtube reviewers but always take those with a grain of salt).
How do you find top/boost speed vs the Blacktip and the XJ? Also curious if you've had any issues with weighting/buoyancy in fresh or salt.I've got about 30 - 40 dives on mine and I've been happy so far.

I prefer the Suex style trigger over the one on the Seacraft, I found that my hands got a little tired longer dives with the GO.
If you've got any specific questions. let me know, I'm happy to try to answer them.

I haven't dove either one of those scooters, and I don't know of anyone locally that has one.Have you ever ran it next to a Genesis or a CudaX? I know they’re not in the same price range but would still love a comparison
I mean...there is a comparison between both of them. The Go is (by all accounts) a better scooter, but it's also significantly more expensive.There is no comparison between the 2. One is a $5000 dpv the other is $2000.
I'm not sure why people try to compare them all the time. If you have the money to buy a go, you will always be disappointed with a bt.
Would you also say the same thing about an XJ-S? Because I've borrowed an XJ-S a bunch, and I don't think it's worth the upgrade at the price point vs my Blacktip.If you have the money to buy a go, you will always be disappointed with a bt.
