Looking for a performance cat hull...is the Aero Mean Machine worthwhile? Can it handle 6S? Is the Geico hull worth considering?

The Mean Machine is a better choice for higher speeds, the MG hull doesn't like to crash at 60+ mph. Keeping it on the water at over 60 mph can be a challenge, it is a rater small boat after all. If you want to use 6S to extend run time rather than increase speed, it will work well. As Dana said, it is a very good handling cat. The Motley Crew handles about as well, but it will not handle a high-speed crash either. Both RTR boats (Geico and Motley) have hulls built to a price point, they are not as robust as a MM ordered from OSE or Aeromarine. The "water damaged" MM hulls are lighter and less robust than the regular ones.

Jay, do you know if the damaged hulls are still decent, I wonder if all the good ones are gone, I heard they were in pretty good shape, but that was awhile ago, thanks Shawn.
