I did not want to put down the Proboat. But you are talking about a mass produced hull. And a 55", that is going to take a lot of power, if you want achieve any type of speed. Aeromarine laminates are hand built fiberglass hulls. They are among the best in the world. This is add batteries, bind and finish the dialing in. Join a local club and race offshore class. You are really not going to get much for $500.00. I posted it a ebay for $950.00.
Nothing wrong with the pro boat. No doubt it doesn't compare to the Aeromarine hulls. But Its a great rtr as is if you leave it stock @ its 35-40 mph top speed. When you try to mod it for big speed is when it starts to show its weaknesses. $500 is pretty low. Id consider $700 and you pay shipping. Mine has less than 45 minutes of run time and about $250 with of upgrades such as Bonzisports clutch, upgraded flex cable, upgraded dual rudder set, and some red anodized aluminum parts. Motor is all stock. The hull is gigantic compared to my 56" P-1 and Atomic ARC. If your interested I can take some detailed pics.
Just need to watch for deals, I bought my current boat for $325 shipped, ac blast cat with a bonzi mod motor, boat was only used a few times. Check out jims if your looking to buy a gasser.
