Thinking about a Enforcer 57 Watch Ya Think??
Just like the title says im looking to get a big boat cause I am mostly gunna run it in the ocean and in Lake Okeechobee. I was thinking about the proboats shockwave and blackjack55 but after seeing the Enforcer 57 I really like it and with all the upgrades from warehouse hobbies it would be about the same price as the proboats maybe a little more money. But thats why im asking havent seen to many reviews and what do you guys think is it depenable put together well and how fast approx?? Thanks guys

I have had my magnum for over 6 months, and I run it in the bay from time to time. Even had it down in the keys jumping 1 foot waves, really was a blast. The build quality is supreme, especially for the money. Now the magnum 57 is no race boat, even with the M5 motor you will only be doing 38-40mph. I think for a bit more money, you can order the magnum 57 with an RCMK from Tony, now that should push the magnum to about 45mph. Give Tony at WHH a call, trust me he will love to talk to you about this. He is really a stand up guy and loves to help people out, and will stay on the phone with you and answer all your questions.
If you want to go a bit faster, but not handle monster wake take a look at the man-o-war and the manta ray. Or do what I did, get the magnum for a relaxing fun day at the lake, and get a race boat for those days you want some thrill. I just picked up a silex today, haven't ran her yet though.

40's is a good speed and I really like the size of the boat. And I like that it has been in production for a while so there should be hardly any bugs with it.

Your gonna love how the Silex handles. It runs about 56 to 58mph with the stock prop 7016/3. Grab a 6717/3 and push it over 60mph.

I would not put the proboats in the same league as the Enforcers, No comparison buy the Magnum with an M5. I run my Enforcer Super Sport with Toofat just about every Satruday and aside from the routine maintenance they just keep going.
We run for about 5 to 6 hours just stopping long enough to catch our breath and refuel. As others have said it is not a speed demon but you can not beat it for the price and fun factor. Get it in the kit form and you will have a better understanding of what it takes to keep them running strong.
Toofat, lets get the Silex cleaned up and ready for the weekend.

You might go broke, but you won't go wrong.
Not the fastest, but a heck of a lot of fun, and you are not always having to retrieve the boat because it flipped on you.
I have put some Videos on You Tube; just posted one today that I made this morning testing some Octura Props I just purchased;
Props were only balanced and sharpened; not polished or modded; best speed was with the X472 @ 38.7 mph if this link works you can see the boat stuffs when I hit a roller and it keeps on going; not a drop of water in the hull.
This was after I had already done a 360 roll over and it kept going.

i have had every WHH model except the silex. i have owned proboat, aeromarine, Bonzi. and a few others. the WHH enforcer line of boats for a weekend boater is by far the best. CS is awesome. very tuff product. get one and enjoy. here's a shot of my stock 55" mantaray. we also got to catch a few fish while playing with the boats.
