For the money, the best bang for the buck boat out there is the modified Cen Aquajet sold by OffshoreElectrics.com. Here's a link: [link=http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/MainPage.htm]Modified 700bb Turbo Version![/link]

it depends on how much is his budget, on offshoreelectrics they had a modified boat on the swap shop forums for 250$ that was a very very good buy. Anyways mostly on ebay you can find different type of boats most are modified or scratch built. Cant name some, but you can always go check and check what mods they got, then get a 411 on the forums about the hull and set up.

That is very cute RcCarMan It really shows you are 25 and you are a "car desiner". If you got a setup couple of picks wont hurt, you can even get a disposable camera, take the picks go to walgreens and scan them or at any local library you could do that. Thanks!

This is a forum of new and experienced boaters rccarman. Your claims of speed and duration were simply way to high for many to believe, myself included since many of us have similiar set-ups.
It's not as if the people here have never modified a boat before. We know what to expect.
If you make a claim that far out of the norm you should expect people to ask for proof. It's common sense. No need to get defensive, if your boat really does what you say it will, that is.

Rccarman,

Here is another question for you since you claim to now be 25,

ORIGINAL: rccarman
i dont have a camra i dont need to take a pic because i now what i have
i wouldnt be talking little 18 post hellomynameisdookie
i am 25 so call me a boy
i am a car desiner
Then explain your other post...

ORIGINAL: rccarman
ok i will tell u this i am 15 and i have $6000 dollars from dilvering papers.
more
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11...tm.htm#1260286

So is that "6 or 7" years from "25" or "15". Perhaps, you meant to type "25" earlier regarding your paper route. Fairy tales or just stories. In my opinon, someone should quit trying to BS so much, because that person is very bad at it.

Personally I expect someone that is 25 to have much more than a 12 year old's spelling and regarding your profile it states you have 5 Years experience in boats not 7, you also have 2 in flying/building airplanes, 1 in flying/building helicopters and 8 in building/driving cars. WOW u made 6,000, some ppl make 60 a year. Nice perspective you got over there. The best part of it all is that on the Topic "should i buy a traxxas villan EX?" You second post is you stating your choices either villain ex and a blast, that was the 6th now the 7th you already have one and you modified it already??? This another post on that same topic:
i really want the EX
i have one and like it so much i want another

it has a super rooster
two 17 turn moters
dule water cooler systems
two 3600 packs i bought yesterday
heavy duty hitech servos
and coil water coolers on the moters

top speed=50 mph

30 min run time

Also here I have produced a dictionary to help my fellow boaters understand you:

Dilvering = Delivering
Ment = Meant
Camra = Camera
now = Know
Desiner = Designer
moter = Motor
toke = Took
Dule = Dual
nabors = neighbors
barly = Barely
climing = Climbing
dirving = Driving
reciver = Receiver
proble = Problem
awsome = Awesome
cloked = Clocked

Among others got bored

RCCARBABY, I truly doubt you are through with Kinder Garden (If you have, you should take some intensive spelling class)...

I wonder why hasn't he replied any message or boasting about his 20 non-existing R/C cars or boats.
