Default HELP with Boat for these Batteries

Hi guys, fairly new at FE's I have a Set (2) of the Turnigy nano-tech 6000mah 2S 25~50C Lipo batteries and would like to find a boat to use them in. any GOOD suggestions ? I bought them to use in my Villain EX but seems a waste to use such nice batteries in the Villain.

There's several options out there for you. Although, we need more information based on what your preferences are. You can look more in to this using the stickied thread at the top or better yet visit [link=http://www.radiocontrolinfo.com]This Link[/link] to learn more about various things. It's perfect if you are newer to the hobby of Electric Boats.

Great Thread & Site lots of info. Will read some more.
Looking for something like RTR or Almost ready to run or a good used boat maybe a Mono.
I now have a 43" gas hydro, Villain, HAD a Supervee 27 Electric (I should have kept) and have run .21 Nitro Riggers. Just never ran anything with Lipo power. Don't want to spent a WHOLE lot.
Would the batteries I have be better parallel or in Series.
Any boat suggesting would be great.
Thanks

There's a few RTR suggestions on the site under that section.

Most of the RTR hulls out there will require 4s LiPo. So the packs would be wired in series.

A Supervee is still one of the cheaper brushless options. The Miss Geico from Pro Boat or the Motley Crew hull from Aquacraft is another option, however it's more coin. What are you looking to spend and what do you need to get out of it. Nearly all RTR hulls out there will allow the use of the batteries you have.
