    There are many threads with setups here on OSE. You seem new to this hobby. I would strongly suggest reading through some of the threads about hulls and setups. We can tell you what to buy and how to build it, but ultimately if something goes wrong, you will be the one trouble shooting it. I strongly recommend getting some basic knowledge first.

    With that said, some great rough water hulls to consider; Delta Force Cyber Storm, Rico Racing Mono, and the Aeromarine Laminates Challenger hull. I have a Cyberstorm, and I have ran alongside the Challenger hull in some rough water. That hull handles very well.
    And there are videos of the Rico hull. She is a sweet hull too.

        I am not set on a nue if you think a fiego is a little better since there is a little budget.So if a fiego is almost as good as a nue i am down with that.

          agree with Westbeach, many have asked this same set of questions, always with many members opinions and experience. a quick search will give you a plethora of answers and questions you are not yet asking.

          you can get it all here on OFE store and the swapshop. Once you know where to start, search the store and then what ever you don't find, put up a WTB thread on the swapshop and you will have everything you need and more and probably pretty quickly too.

              For the motor, you might consider the Leopard (also on OSE). They are somewhere in between Feigao and Neu.

                As has been stated before do some research and state your budget and other goals.

                    "nice boat" is different for everyone. $310 won't get you fast and reliable and probably not all that nice. you will end up spending over $400 before batteries and props, unless you are not all that attached to "fast" or "nice". If you had done some research, you would already know all this and not need to be told. As we are telling you - those who have good advice are MUCH more inspired to share it if a newbie is interested in learning and researching- otherwise, get an RTR.

                        This is where there is a big misconception! knowing cars and boats are two different leagues here. There is way more involved in setting up a boat. CoG, amp draw, running wet/dry, props selection etc....it goes on and on.

                        Great Advice from Jesse, you might want to consider getting a RTR. It comes in around your $310 budget.

                          Well, I suggest you buy that boat, and I am in a good mood today, you are lucky it was not the dark Douggie.

                            A beautifull yellow DF 29 with excellent hardware can be yours on NOV 1 FOR $150 PLUS SHIPPING. Plenty of time for your deadline and under budget. LMK BG

                              the5 if you consistently check out the swap area and do some research you'll be more than likely to pick up a boat you want for a reasonable price. Everyweek there must be atleast 10 boats up for sale on and all the required parts for a build. Half of the battle is doing it yourself if youre going to build it, its all on the specifications you want.
