    There are many options, what is your budget, hull design and can you build a bare hull?

      Go for the mystic over geico. That stupid inline strudder is useless. Even with the offset upgrade, it's a cluster@@@@. Bracket gets in the way of any good adjustments cause the prop hits. Impulse? Not even out yet. How can anyone recommend this boat lol.

            I just picked up a apparition, have not run it yet but its a very nice boat for under $200... I hear the genesis does better in rough water, its about 40 inches long. Genesis is also a $200 boat. Both require electronics, but with your budget you should be able to build something nice.

            http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=11240 (Genesis)

            With your budget I would build this boat up. 200 amp esc 4074 motor or larger and run on 6s.
            LST XXL-4074 Taco, Slash 4x4-3660 Taco, Appparition-3674 Taco

              I just got a pursuit from kintec racing and use it on a river. It's a 32" mono with everything except steering servo and radio but it has a great motor, esc and hardware. Runs really great on 4s and handles chop good. $395
