Welcome!!
How big do you want your boat? an upgraded motley crew may be the trick, or an EKOS

I looked at that one! I also kinda had my heart set on that Miss Gieco from Pro Boat? Is that a good one? It seems to go really fast on all those youtube vids but I dont know how reliable. I just want it to go really fast kind of like a racing boat. As for the size i really dont know how big is too big i mean i was thinking like 29" to 36". But i want to do this right from the get go. Get all the stuff i need to.

Fine Design has a PRO BOAT GEIKO ALREADY HOPPED UP here is the link http://www.finedesignrc.com/deals.asp

Stay away from fine design. Take this advise and run.

I got a single drive Apparition from Hobby King and finished it with parts from Fighter Cat and I feel like I have a rockin boat for the money. I can't say enough about Ben at fightercatracing.com He has helped me(also a boat newbie) a ton! Check out his site if you like fast cats!

What's wrong with Fine designs? They seem to have the sickest boats I've seen so far. Feedback anyone?

I had a hard time with him at one piont like others have and i personally wont use him again but thats just me!!!

for the price of the fine design boat you can have a well put together pursuit/ w upgraded esc and motor and get some good lipos. depending how fast you want to go i have read that the titan is a high lift boat and will want to blow over at 50 mph just so you know

[LarrysDrifter]

Go to www.kintecracing.com and get yourself a Pursuit. If you enjoy making large donations for a boat, go to fine design. They will bend you over every time you drop the soap.

Ok sounds good! Is there a Catamaran you like Larry?????

[LarrysDrifter]

So far, the only cats I've had are a Hydro and Marine Drifter L, King of Shaves (crap), and Apparition. I love them all except the KoS.

[LarrysDrifter]

Welcome to OSE by the way. Only my KoS was RTR boat and I would not suggest it. I've heard good things about the ProBoat Mystic, however.
