Small self-righting boats?

[badag98]

I currently have a sv27 that I take to the lake when we go out on our family boat. That boat doesn't seem to be well suited for a large lake the waves are just too large for it. Since I don't have room for a larger r/c boat I was thinking about trying one of the small self-righting starter boats.

Do you guys think this is a good approach? Any recommendations?

Take a look at the minicat mini echo! This little booger hauls, turns on a dime and is self righting!

I have the Eco and the velocity mono I like the Eco much better. I run the Eco on 3s and its a blast.

Anyone want to trade one for a SV27? It runs, but it will need a little bit of work. Primarily to the cooling system.

Here are some that another member posted and they are self-righting starter boats as you can see from the price:

The Tiger Shark finally is out of stock which means all 12 that they had in stock got sold. Will be watching for review and talking to Nitro support on feedback from their customers on these. So far they expressed no returns on any they have sold.

I've been eyeing this from them:

http://southriverrcboats.com/shop/ar...d%3DET-B-TH%26 and MHZUSA has them for 95.00: http://www.mhzusa.com/Mini-Sonic-Evo...all-x-1104.htm just not the same material and I have e-mailed them on what hardware they carry would be ideal for the hull and they have yet to reply.

I know.........one can always hope, but it's depressing and sad.

I understand that MHz has cut off MHz-USA for providing very bad service and customer complaints. They are no longer the US dealer. Possibility that Steven will pick them up? That would be good.

That would be a new good venue for Steve to consider!
