    Looking for a boat, Hull for starters

    Hello everyone.

    I have scanned the internet but possibly not good enough for a boat that will fit my need.
    I have today among my boat a Riva-replica, Traxxas Villain dual brushless and a classic, the pursuit.
    The Riva is for show, The Villain can“t handle rough water and the pursuit is a going-straight-fast kind of boat.

    I am looking for a V-hull boat, not a twin-hull that will be decent on rough water and some nice speed as well on 4 or 6S.
    I want it to be around 800-900 mm of lenght and look more like picture below than a "pursuit" or traxxas spartan
    One or two motor-options are fine but prefarbly one



    Do you have any tips or should I look for another boat hull to get both speed and nice handle in rought water. On youtube there is alsmost no waves at all when rc boats are used.

        The osprey is pretty much the same as a pursuit. I do not like the shape of the hull.
        I want a little more shape as the hull in the first note

            Here is mine with dual set up but only on 2S. What I meant is that it can handle rough water as such, but it is very nervous...at least with 2 motors where I think it should be more stable that with just one

              well duh your running a boat designed for a pond not the ocean lol. If your looking for something to run in the ocean than your going to look for a big boat like this one:

                  That last boat was quite but no way near what I was looking for. The first link you sent was more up my alley and I actually found it yesterday.
                  Regarding the Villian, yes...it might be designated for a pond but it works quite well in the ocean as well. The video is a bit extreme and normally not what I run in.
                  I think that is has to do with the boat beeing so narrow. My pursuit is pretty much the same lenght but around 4-5cm wider and it is more stable.
