Under 1k,

If you are interested, I have a proboat shockwave 55, With one tank of gas ran thru it. $800.00
Or i have a brand new one in the box $950.00

That boat looks awesome Chris! I used to have a couple boats, none near that nice though.

I've been flying a plane around that I purchased recently...flying is hella fun but hard as hell to do....

My RC Gas Boat!! - FreeRideFrosty - 06-19-2007

Haha!! I think I would be able to get all of it except the landing part. Never ends well on the flight sim. LoL

My RC Gas Boat!! - SLOW REVO - 06-19-2007

Have you had any problems with blow overs.
With mine if i dont keep the trim tabs set pretty low at high speeds it wants to blow over.

Not if you're talking about a custom built race boat.

Hull/Cowl/Radio Box: $375
Full Mod Motor: $595
Tuned Pipe/Header: $165
Hardware: $100 - $200
Radio Gear: $150 - $300 (2 digital servos, receiver, battery pack, switch)
Miscellaneous Building supplies: $100+ (gas and water lines, fittings, fasteners, collet, motor mount, pipe retainer, fuel bag, fuel filter, stuffing tube, epoxy, push rods, connectors, push rod seals, floatation, etc)

Someone to build it: ????? (usually another $200 or more depending on complexity or detail required)

That's about $1900+ and we haven't even gotten to the paint job yet.

I've built a few myself so my wallet knows how much it really costs.

And for all of this you get a boat that should be good for 55-70 mph.

But that's only if it were set up correctly. Smile

My RC Gas Boat!! - Sh1nn3r - 06-19-2007

Boat could cost upward to 2500 to 3000 thousand.

Slow Revo boat is stuck to water like glue very very hard to blow this one over.
