Status: offline 		They are good to look at, but that's about it. You'll learn more and have a better boat by building your own from a quality fiberglass hull. If you must get a RTR, and want a great bang for the buck, go to Warehouse Hobbies. Expresscraft, Bonzi and other manufacturers will also assemble a great boat ready to run, and look great too.

Status: offline 		My kid drove a KOS last summer and said that it was a POS. He's coming up on 25 and has been racing since he was 12 and can drive everything that I own and is good at giving me input.
If you want a Cat, Warehouse Hobbies just rolled out their new one a few days ago. It's based on an Expresscraft yet the topside is all theirs. For the kind of coin that you'd have to drop for a Venom boat, spend a few more bucks and get something miles ahead in quality, speed and handling.

Status: offline 		our cats that are anywhere from 47"( the one ron is talking about) to our 60 " cats are all 350.00, but what sets us apart is all our boats are layed up in carbon fiber for that price, still white gel coat, but that carbon sure looks great on the inside of the boat, not to mention it make a much stronger boat,and at 350.00 its still less money then a lot of fiberglass hulls. and they run great.
