    WTB: Electric Hydro, Cat, Mono, or ?

    Id like to purchase an electric boat...bigger than what I have now which is a MCR Micro Hydro. Id consider hydro conversions(proboat w/ flex shaft), cats or mono's. Just something cool and electric. Looking possibly for something I can just drop my batts, radio,receiver, and servo in if needed and go. Boat must be in good condition and not require work(ie: no damage please) to get running. Pics and price will help make my decision!! Thanks.

    :D

    I do have some stuff I can trade or for a partial trade, mainly plane stuff along with rc car things if your interested. Otherwise I can paypal.

    Do you consider "minor scratches" on the bottom as damage?

      Nope. I just dont want something that takes on water or has cracks in the hull. Scratches in the clear and stuff are fine. I want to be able to just install any running gear needed and be off:p

        I have a 1/12 Pro Boat Miss Budweiser Hydro. I bought the hull (flex shaft) brand new from my LHS, so it's never seen that messy nitro stuff. I bought all the stock Pro Boat hardware (New). I bought a Pro Boat 1/8 Miss Bud Motor mount (aluminum) and cut it down to marry to the SV27 Motor mount. I installed the Grimracer Turn-fin (new). I installed the Ammo brushless motor (New), with the SV27 ESC. It runs @ 37.2Mph with an X642 prop & 12 EP4200's. That's faster than out of the box with a nitro motor! I recently bought an x645 just to see if it'll run her past the 40Mph mark. She has a few minor scratches on the bottom, but that's all. She looks mint from the top. She can sit in the water for hours without taking on a drop of water. She can run at any speed w/o taking on any water. If she had reverse, She would probably take on some water though.
        For the last few days, I have been toying with the idea of selling her. I asked SJFE what I should sell it for, He gave me a figure, make an offer, and I may just decide to let her go.

                        Thank you! I am proud of it. I'm getting some people upset for even the thought of selling it.
