Add $50 and get a real boat. http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...d=dh-PRB4000BD
The Nitro/RX boat looks pretty cheaply done similar the one HK sells. Hardware probably wont last long an your stuck with a cheap hull that isn't worth repowering. The Proboat is a quality unit. Next step would be a AQ VS-1 with an OS lower and AQ spec motor. You would need to put components together and up costs to the $450 range but have something that will last. Watch the 4-sale section here and on IW and there will be a deal come along too.

Looks pretty!

I'd go with a VS-1 or TS-3 though.

I will say that is the best looking outboard I have seen in a long time (in regards to scale looks). Looks just like an F1 Merc.

Looks pretty cool to me. I do have to wonder about the reliability. A 380 size motor in a hull this size. (~25in)
