Personally I'd rather not wear out the 9X just for boats. There's no advantage over using a good 3 channel stick. The receivers are cheaper, the range is just as good and they are lighter to handle. I have 20 boats and 3 of them came with their own sticks so I bought 2 more 2.4ghz so I could have a boat on each channel. That way I don't have to retrim every time I change boats. Not that I have used them that much. Out of those 20 only 3 have ever been wet. My $3,500.00 120mph beauty is still sitting in it's packing crate waiting for the day I may be able to use it. So it's 9X for planes only, the boats are happy with the stick.
