Anyone know anything about electric boats on here? My family just got this http://www.fourwinns.com/lineprod.cfm?model=220 and now it is a good excuse for me to get an electic boat, anyone know anything about them or a good one to get, I don't really want to spend over $120

I've seen them at hobby shows and they're very fast, and they're bottom heavy so you can roll them but they always self-right!

Yeah, and I don't think my dad would be too happy with nitro and sh!t on the new boat.

My vote gots to the modded 700sc version of the Cen Aquajet from Off shore electrics. I've been thinking of selling off one of my nitros and getting one for myself. I miss the Traxxas Villain that I modded like crazy that I used to have. Actualy I'd prefer an electric any day over a nitro boat.

http://offshoreelectrics.com/rc_boat...t/aqua_jet.htm

but this is a real boat though and the reef racer is much more forgiving and a whole lot slower.

Those things look like fun. I would go with that $80 one. I don't think I would like watching my expensive boat sink after I try to "bash" in the water. LoL

I think I'm going to go with the one that Revo2k suggested, most of the time I will be running in calm waters, but then again, when we head to the lake of the ozarrks or something like that I want to be able to run it like crazy and not break anything or watch it make bubbles and never see it again...
