I have been offered one of these two electric boats, that I need to quickly decide on which one to take. These are both RTR verions.
I know very little about boats so need to know which boat will be the fastest, and which boat will handle best. :confused2:
I am not comparing manufactures, just what to know which you would choose and why.

I dunno what a himoto is, so I would choose the proboat

Looking at the himoto online it looks to be Chinese. The motor and esc are crap. Go for the proboat

The Himoto is the smaller boat, a stepped mono with a shallow vee. I too would go for the Miss Geico, larger and proven. But then I don't know anything about the Himoto boat except what I read in the product details.

The Himoto is actually a painted version of this:

which has the bottom copied from the Etti Missile...
Go for the Miss Geico, the Himoto will take a lot of surgery and extra funds to make it run decently.
