        Dual 2230/1Y on 10s and lots of mAh to back it up...
        dual Lehner 40/300

        that is a pretty penny (one of the shine ones),
        2230/1Y = $700 (x2)
        40/300 = $940 (x2)
        10s3P = $571 (x6) 25C PolyRc
        Subtotal = $6706 w/o hull
        Now add taxes/shipping and hardware...

          James Watson on RRR spent $14,000+ on his 92 inch HPR.........................

          They are big and with a huge wow factor until the first time to the pond , anything larger the 5 feet is a huge PITA to maneuver through the house and transport back and forth
          Necessity is the mother of invention.............

              Yes, they are pretty inconvenient to move around, there aren't many ponds that one can use it,
              it's not very cheap on top of all that, if you need a spare set of batteries and charging times are not for the inpatient man... BUT, that was not your question...

                There is one answer and about right. Big boats are cool but to run with electrical power very expensive

                  What is this fascination for people with no FE experience to run huge boats??

                          One could justify the cost by doubling it as a bath tub for the kids
                          LOL

                            No...I'm thinking I could charge the kids for rides in our area. Extra $10 to experience a blow over and $5 for a barrelroll.
