Thunder Tiger is a manufacturer doing a wide range of boats. Any particular boat? Some have better reputations than others. Search the threads for "Victoria" and ETNZ"

If you want a racing boat, you need to find your local club and see what they are racing. Check out here:

All the Thunder Tiger yachts I have seen have been ABS or similar.
Follow Michaele69's advice, find a club, find what they race. If you want to be competitive, your $300 won't go far unless you do a LOT of scratch building.

You want an RC racing boat made from fibreglass for $300? If you build one yourself it will cost you closer to $500 depending on winch / sail servo and radio gear. A good sail winch alone costs $AU280.

I build 1 metre fibreglass boats. Maybe you should try ebay or your boat club for a good second hand boat. But, I've seen used IOMs for sail at over $2000!

Below is one of my recent builds -

I sell these for much more than $300 with no radio gear.
