    Pro Boat Geico or Himoto Makira

    I have been offered one of these two electric boats, that I need to quickly decide on which one to take. These are both RTR verions.
    I know very little about boats so need to know which boat will be the fastest, and which boat will handle best.
    I am not comparing manufactures, just what to know which you would choose and why.

      Looking at the himoto online it looks to be Chinese. The motor and esc are crap. Go for the proboat

        The Himoto is the smaller boat, a stepped mono with a shallow vee. I too would go for the Miss Geico, larger and proven. But then I don't know anything about the Himoto boat except what I read in the product details.

          The Himoto is actually a painted version of this:


          which has the bottom copied from the Etti Missile...
          Go for the Miss Geico, the Himoto will take a lot of surgery and extra funds to make it run decently.
