Semi fast/stable boat for youngin?

[Basstronics]

Im trying to decide what to do here guys.

I bought my kid a reef racer 2 to play with, but its to slow and boring now.

Also the GF would like something to run.

I picked up a Pro Boat Mini V steerable outdrive unit. Im thinking I would like to use this and build a boat thats fast enough to entertain but stable enough for a child to run.

I built a Micro patriot for my kid but it ended up being to fast and unstable.

Thinking of going brushless in the RR2 but looking for other options as well.

10 year old girl!

Lookout on the water!



I think I might just upgrade the RR2 and let her rip. Would probably be a fun boat if it was faster! Still maintain the unsinkable theme.

Buy a used supervee. Equip it with a small prop. It will run in the low 20's and be fun and durable.
