Sold!
Selling my racing boat. After zipping around on a few ponds, I've decided that a smaller craft suits my style and available waterways better. Video of it running in a Google Photos album.

$145 shipped via USPS, or $120 for local pickup in Boston, MA.
From HobbyKing's product description:
Features:
Specs:
I have moved the antenna mast from the hull (where it was very hard to access) to the hatch, and moved the water-cooling intake from the rudder (which didn't seem to work that well) to a scoop on the bottom of the hull. It has a new propellor on it which has only been in a pond for about 15 minutes; the old one I think had gotten pitted and was cavitating so the boat wouldn't get up to speed properly but the new prop fixed that.
It takes 2X 2S 4000mAh lipos. I'm including 3 Turnigy nano-tech 4000mah 2S 35~70C LiPos that I've used with it ($20/each new). (I had 4 but one cell in one stopped taking a charge.) I've stored them at 3.85v/cell and confirmed they still charge up and provide power before storing them again.
You'll just need a radio to complete the setup.
Also, I'd be glad to consider a trade for a sailboat! Or for a buggy like the Tamiya Grasshopper or an acrobatic electric plane.
